Benfica player tipped for exit left out of Porto clash | OneFootball

José Mourinho does not count on Rafael Obrador. After having already explained 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 which player I know the least, I would say it's Obrador. He's a reserved, introverted guy, and this also translates to his training level. I have to help him lose his shyness and be able to show more of the potential he has", said Mourinho, before the match against Gil Vicente.

Previously, under Bruno Lage, the Spanish under-21 international played only one match, against Tondela, leaving the field 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. In the 2,232 minutes he was on the field, the left-back did not score any goals, ending up with only one assist.
