Geyse da Silva Ferreira (born 27 March 1998), commonly known as Geyse or Pretinha, is a Brazilian professional football forward who plays for Portuguese club Benfica and the Brazil women’s national team.

Club career

Geyse agreed a transfer to newly-formed S.L. Benfica in May 2018. She joined her new team in September 2018, after playing for Brazil at the 2018 FIFA U-20 Women’s World Cup. She scored 16 goals in her first four games for Benfica, who had entered the second division in Portugal.

International career

In April 2015, 17-year-old Geyse’s performances for União Desportiva in their run to the quarter-final of the 2015 Copa do Brasil de Futebol Feminino led her to be called up for Brazil women’s national under-20 football team training. She went on to become an important player for Brazil at the 2016 and 2018 editions of the FIFA U-20 Women’s World Cup.

Geyse made her debut for the senior Brazil women’s national football team in September 2017, as a substitute in a 4–0 win over Chile. She was selected in Brazil’s 23-player squad for the 2019 FIFA Women’s World Cup in France, after a prolific season with Benfica at club level.

Žydrūnas Ilgauskas’s net worth, biography, fact, career, awards and life story

Zydrunas Ilgauskas Net Worth: Zydrunas Ilgauskas is an American former professional basketball player who has a net worth of $55 million. Born in Kaunas, Lithuania, in 1975, Zydrunas Ilgauskas first began his professional basketball career in his home country in 1993. Three years later, the Cleveland Cavaliers chose Ilgauskas with the 20th overall pick during the 1996 NBA Draft. His early tenure with the Cavs was marred by injuries and he barely spent time on the court until the 2003 season when the team drafted phenomenon LeBron James. Ilgauskas remained healthy for the next few seasons and earned a contract extension worth a reported five years and $55 million. He remained with the Cavs until early 2010 when he was traded to the Washington Wizards. A few days later, the Wizards made Ilgauskas a free agent and he landed a one-year deal with the Cavs. Following the end of the season, he signed a one-year, $1.3 million deal with the Miami Heat to play alongside James, Dwyane Wade, and Chris Bosh. Despite appearing in the championship, the Heat lost and Ilgauskas retired following the end of the season. He accepted a position as assistant to the Cavs’ general manager in early 2011. His number has since been retired by his original team. Ilgauskas, who also played on the Lithuanian national team, is a two-time NBA All-Star.
