Liedson turned Portuguese citizen in 2009 and joined the National side appearing in World Cup 2010, Liedson chipped in 174 goals wearing the green and white with an impressive 116 in league play. Levezinho as he is know at Avalade won two golden boots in Portugal the first coming in the 2004-05 season and the second in 2006-07.
