All the players from the Portugal national team are with their club's pre-season training. What about goalkeeper Ricardo? I visited the Real Betis official website www.realbetisbalompie.es to see fotos of Ricardo training.
The official squad has only 2 goalkeepers! Even so, he was 2nd choice goalkeeper last season?
This means Ricardo missed the first friendly against Atlético Sanluqueño. He'll join the club's double-training sessions on Thursday, July 23, 09:30 a.m. in Montecastillo. The second session 19:00 hours (7pm). I miss using European/military time.
It surprised me a little bit because the 3 Portuguese Chelsea players already played their first friendly yesterday in Asia. The Sporting Lisbon, and Benfica players started their pre-season on Monday. FC Porto the week before.
Relating this to the Portugal national team-
We'll see if he's still in the starting lineup under Queiroz. If Ricardo stays 2nd choice goalkeeper in his club again this season, I'm positive Queiroz will put Quim as 1st choice goalkeeper. I also think that if Ricardo sees that he won't be 1st choice goalkeeper, he needs to look for another club. Hopefully a more prestigious club that can seriously compete in the UEFA cup.
