After 'saving' Sporting, Rui Silva earns praise in Spain: "Animal" | OneFootball

Gui Domingues was not surprised by the quality Rui Silva showed against Juventus. The former teammate of the Sporting goalkeeper, with whom he played at Betis Sevilla, spoke to the newspaper O Jogo, where he praised the green and white player who stood out the most in the last Champions League game against Juventus.

"I am not surprised by the success he is having. We spent two seasons together, and I know he is a goalkeeper with a lot of quality. He's a beast, as I usually say, even in training. It's not just about his stature; he also has good technique. At Betis, he was already considered one of the most important members of the squad, and when he came to Sporting, I knew he would quickly take on a prominent role in the team. I was sure he would explode," Gui Domingues began to reveal about Rui Silva.

Considering these words, the current Real Valladolid goalkeeper is not surprised by Rui Silva's form: "He managed to achieve that goal, in fact, it was easy to predict that this would happen at any moment, given his quality, professionalism, and dedication".

"For those who fight for titles, for those who need a solid base behind them, it's important to have a goalkeeper with Rui's characteristics," added Gui Domingues, who believes that the green and white goalkeeper is up to the challenges at Sporting.

He concluded with a word about the possibilities of Rui Silva being the starter in the national team: "That's more complicated because there's Diogo Costa [FC Porto], and he's unsurpassable. I'm biased in saying this because I really like Diogo. I even think he's one of the best in the world. Therefore, if that's the case, I understand that at this moment, there's no room for anyone else in the national team's goal. I say this with all due respect to the Portuguese internationals".
