The first 8 games of La Liga Betis goalkeeper Ricardo has been on the bench. Incredible for someone of his experience. Casto has been in goal in all of this season's Real Betis games.
Betis news:
Betis could not get a victory in the first 6 games yet Casto always remained in goal. In the last 2 games, Betis has won by not conceding goals:
Osasuna 0 - 2 Betis
Betis 3 - 0 Mallorca
Since he hasn't played for his club this season, here are some photos of goalkeeper Ricardo during the Euro 2008. I really hope he finds a new club where he's appreciated or at least given playing time.
I think a Serie A team might be good. I was watching Palermo 1-3 Fiorentina on Rai Italia last weekend and the goalkeeper Amelia was replaced by the older goalkeeper, former Juventus, Fontana in the second half. Amelia, the italian national team goalkeeper being replaced, I couldn't believe it! Ricardo is certainly younger and has international experience.
What team can use goalkeeper Ricardo?
This is a nice photo with the 3 goalkeepers of the Portugal national team, Sporting's Rui Patricio, Ricardo, and Benfica's Quim. On the far right, Fernando Brassard the goalkeeper coach. Photo: euro2008.sapo.pt

What do you like about goalkeeper Ricardo?
Surprised that he's not playing for his club this season 2008-2009?
