'''Ricardo Roberto Barreto da Rocha''' (born 11 September 1962) is a Brazilian retired [[association football|footballer]] who played as a [[central defender]].
==National team==
Appeared in two friendlies for Portugal against [[Scotland]] and [[Italy]] in 2002/03 but otherwise has been unable to force his way into the reckoning. He is a heavy contender for the Defender Positon for back up of [[Paulo Ferreira]] for back-upin the world cup [[Germany]] 2006 and [[Luiz Felipe Scolari]] sees' a lot of potentail since he did good marking [[Ronaldinho]] in the Quater-finals of the Champion's League.


==Club==
==Club career==
Rocha was born in [[Recife]]. During his career he represented [[Manchete Futebol Clube do Recife]] (then known as Associação Atlética Santo Amaro), [[Santa Cruz Futebol Clube]], [[Guarani Futebol Clube]], [[Sporting Clube de Portugal]] (having a brief spell with the [[Primeira Liga]] giants), [[São Paulo FC]], [[Real Madrid CF|Real Madrid]] – where he helped to the [[1992–93 Copa del Rey|1993 conquest]] of the [[Copa del Rey]] – [[Santos FC]], [[CR Vasco da Gama]], [[Olaria Atlético Clube]], [[Fluminense FC]], [[Newell's Old Boys]] and [[Clube de Regatas do Flamengo]], retiring at nearly 37.
Ricardo Rocha started his career with [[FC Famalicão]] in 1998/99 before making the switch to [[SC Braga]]. A season with the B side followed before he made his debut in September 2000, going on to make 19 appearances in his first season. He started 25 matches the following campaign and his performances were coveted by SL benfica who signed him in the summer of 2002.


Rocha was coach of Santa Cruz in 2001<ref>{{Cite web |url=http://www2.uol.com.br/JC/_2001/2303/es2303_3.htm |title=Paulo César, Janduir e Valdomiro já à disposição de Ricardo Rocha |trans-title=Paulo César, Janduir and Valdomiro already available for Ricardo Rocha |work=Jornal do Commercio |language=pt |date=23 March 2001 |access-date=10 February 2009}}</ref> and 2007,<ref>{{Cite web |url=http://www2.uol.com.br/JC/_2001/2303/es2303_3.htm |title=Ricardo Rocha e Zé do Carmo assumem o Santa Cruz |trans-title=Ricardo Rocha and Zé do Carmo take over Santa Cruz |work=UOL Esporte |language=pt |date=26 November 2007 |access-date=10 February 2009}}</ref> without, however, the same success as a player.
2002: He quickly settled in [[Lisbon]], playing 52 league games in his first two seasons and helping the side to [[Portuguese Cup]] triumph in 2004.


==International career==
2004/05: Formed a resolute centre-back partnership [[Luisão]], recovering well from a spell on the sidelines to make 25 starts as Benfica claimed the [[SuperLiga]] title. He was also a regular in the [[UEFA Cup]], helping the [[Lisbon]] side to the Round of 32 before elimination by eventual champions [[PFC CSKA Moscow]].
Rocha played 38 matches with the [[Brazil national football team|Brazil national team]] in eight years, his debut coming on 19 May 1987 in an [[exhibition game]] with [[England national football team|England]] (1–1). He went on to take part in two [[FIFA World Cup]]s: [[1990 FIFA World Cup|1990]] and [[1994 FIFA World Cup|1994]].


In the latter edition Rocha was the starting center back. However, he could only appear 69 minutes for the eventual champions, a 2–0 group stage win against [[Russia national football team|Russia]], remaining injured for the remainder of the tournament. His last international match was also a friendly, a 5–0 win over [[Slovakia national football team|Slovakia]] on 22 February 1995.
Not a natural goalscorer, Ricardo Rocha scored just two goals in his first five seasons of top-flight football - both for Braga in 2001/02.
