José Mourinho does not count on Rafael Obrador. After already explaining the reasons for not using the left-back, the Benfica coach decided, for technical reasons, to leave the young Spanish international out of the Classic against Porto.

"If you ask me the player I know the least, I would say it's Obrador; he's a reserved, introverted boy, and this also translates to his training level. I have to help him lose his shyness and be able to show more of his potential", said Mourinho, before the match with Gil Vicente.

Previously, under Bruno Lage, the Spanish under-21 international played only one match, against Tondela, leaving at the 67th minute and leaving a good impression.

In the 24/25 season, while playing for Deportivo, Rafael Obrador - currently valued at 2 million euros - was featured in 33 matches for the neighboring country's team: 32 in Spain's second division and one in the Copa del Rey.
