Publish on 5/7/17 <br />Pepe never represented his native Brazil in any youth category. However, according to the player's father, in 2006 he was contacted by coach Dunga about a possible call-up, which he declined, stating that once he obtained Portuguese citizenship he would join its national team. He became naturalized in August 2007 and, on the 30th, was named in the Portuguese squad for the first time, in view of a UEFA Euro 2008qualifier against Poland. An injury while training for his club prevented the debut for his adopted country, which would materialize almost four months later, in Portugal's last game in the tournament againstFinland on 21 November (0–0 home draw). <br /> Again a starter in Euro 2012 under manager Paulo Bento, Pepe opened the score in the second group game against Denmark, heading home after a João Moutinho corner kick in an eventual 3–2 win. In the 2014 World Cup, Pepe received a red card in the first half of Portugal's opening match with Germany for headbutting Thomas Müller late into the first half of an eventual 0–4 loss. At the time Müller was sitting on the ground and Pepe walked back to Müller to headbutt him. Pepe was named man of the match in the UEFA Euro 2016 Final, helping his team to keep a clean-sheet in a 1–0 extra-time victory over hosts France and win his nation's first ever international title. 2016–17 season <br />Pepe had an injury-riddled season, in where he made 13 appearances, when Madrid won the2016–17 La Liga and the 2016–17 UEFA Champions League. <br />Information collect from Wikipedia and http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/football/article-4665984/Pepe-signs-Besiktas-Real-Madrid-release.html, <br />All video has re use permission, link- www.youtube.com/watch?v=cWGpaFo8F0E <br />www.youtube.com/watch?v=Yr7DSEvrokw <br /> <br />Thank you
