Joel Robles reveals who he thinks is the perfect keeper for Sporting | OneFootball

Joel Robles believes that the perfect goalkeeper for Sporting is... Rui Silva - who saw a contractual detail revealed. The Spaniard, currently playing for Estoril, shared a locker room with the Lions’ ‘number 1’ in 2021/22 at Betis, and highlights the great experience and composure of the Portuguese international.

"Well, I was already following him when he was at Granada, where he had some very good seasons. Then he signed for Betis. I think he’s the perfect goalkeeper for Sporting, a keeper with a lot of calm, who never gets nervous," he began, speaking to Record newspaper.

For Joel Robles, Rui Silva’s experience "is important for Sporting, especially in the most difficult moments," since the players and fans "will see that they have a calm goalkeeper who will give the team a lot of security, that’s what Rui Silva provides."

This season, wearing the Sporting shirt, Rui Silva – valued at 7 million euros – has eight appearances. The Portuguese international missed three games due to physical unavailability, playing a total of 720 minutes, during which he conceded seven goals.

The match, valid for the third round of the Portuguese Cup, against the team led by Filipe Cândido, will be played at the Estádio Capital do Móvel at 8:15 p.m.
