Take note, Bruno Lage: Rio Ave sign new player before Benfica trip | OneFootball

Preparing for the return to competition, which resumes next Friday, September 12, with the reception to Santa Clara, Benfica already knows that Rio Ave, the opponent they will play against two weeks later, is still active in the market. During the day today, the Vilacondenses announced the signing of Jakub Brabec.

During the day today, Monday, September 8, the team from Vila do Conde formalized the arrival of the 33-year-old central defender, who has several caps for the Czech Republic's main national team. This is a significant name for the most retracted axis of the field and will increase the range of options for Sotiris Silaidopoulos, before the visit to Estádio da Luz.

In the same communication, Rio Ave, which revealed that the experienced footballer is already registered in the league, signed a contract valid for two seasons, after having ended his connection with Aris, from the Greek Super League.

Thus, the Czech adds quality and options to the Greek coach who, in the current season, has presented Rio Ave with a system of three central defenders, making the arrival of the athlete, who also has stints at clubs such as Sparta Prague and Genk, even more convenient.

In addition, the helmsman of the Vilacondenses already had the presence of Brabec in this morning's training, September 8. It is worth remembering that the match between Benfica and Rio Ave is scheduled for the next September 23, to adjust the calendar, since the match corresponds to the 1st round of the Liga Portugal Betclic.
