Portuguese Version
Nuno Gon�alves da Rocha, mais conhecido por Capucho, nasceu a 21 de Fevereiro de 1971, em Barcelos e � neste momento um jogador emblem�tico do Futebol Clube do Porto. Enveredou pelo mundo futebol�stico da primeira divis�o no Gil Vicente, tendo sido lan�ado na altura pelo treinador Rodolfo Reis.

A sua primeira participa��o deu-se no jogo Gil Vicente-Mar�timo, em que Capucho jogou apenas tr�s minutos. A sua posi��o de m�dio direito n�o lhe facilita a titularidade a n�vel de selec��es, pois o lugar que habitualmente desempenha coincide com os talentosos jogadores, Figo e S�rgio Concei��o. Caso contr�rio a sua posi��o de titular era indiscut�vel e as suas internacionaliza��es seriam acrescidas, dado que este ainda n�o atingiu as duas dezenas, na medida em que a sua estreia s� se deu no jogo Portugal - Alemanha, em 21 de Fevereiro de 1996. Mesmo assim as suas demonstra��es em campo, fazem-nos acreditar que mais cedo ou mais tarde este ser� chamado � titularidade, diversificando, assim, as op��es de ataque da selec��o. Este jogador jogou sempre em equipas portuguesas, nunca abandonando o nosso pa�s. Come�ou no Gil Vicente, passou pelo Sporting, onde nunca se conseguiu imp�r devido � presen�a de Figo, que obscurecia os seus talentos. A sua passagem pelo Vit�ria de Guimar�es fez com que se sobressa�sse, realizando durante duas �pocas grandes exibi��es.

Em 1997/98 chegou ao Futebol Clube do Porto, tendo desde logo chegado � titularidade pela m�o de Ant�nio Oliveira, estatuto garantido pelos seus �ndices exibicionais muito positivos.
