Obrador praised by ex-Sporting player, Benfica star shows promise | OneFootball

Obrador was hired by Real Madrid in the summer transfer window but still hasn't been able to establish himself at Benfica. Ex-Sporting praised

Toñito, former Sporting player, left many praises for Rafael Obrador, Benfica's side-back. The player was hired from Real Madrid in the summer transfer window, but so far he still hasn't been able to establish himself in the main red team - our Journal has already revealed the reason why he hasn't debuted with Bruno Lage yet.

"Yes, I know him very well, because he comes from the Real Madrid factory and I had already seen him play in the youth teams", Toñito began to explain, a former Spanish player who passed through Sporting in 1999/2000, and who has been following the career of the young Benfica defender.

The former defender of the Lisbon rival highlighted, then, some of the qualities he noticed in Rafael Obrador, in the times he saw him play in Spain: "He seems like a good player and with a lot of potential. He has a lot of arrival in the area. He is a very hard worker and has a lot of quality".

"He's a good signing for Benfica", Toñito threw in next. Recall that Rafael Obrador was trained in the youth teams of Real Madrid, and in the last season he played for Deportivo de La Coruña, where he made a total of 33 appearances last year, before reinforcing Benfica.

"Now we'll see if he's capable of playing in a club with such high demands as Benfica's, with two games every week. You need to maintain a very high level, but yes, I believe he'll be ready to play", the former Sporting player concluded, about the career leap that Rafael Obrador took this summer.
