Queiroz explained to "ABC de Sevilla" that two of his staff members are following first-hand Betis goalkeeper Ricardo. "Two of my staff members have seen the last games of Betis and according to their reports, I know that Ricardo like Nelson, are in great shape."
About Ricardo's great shape: "To return to the national team he needed to play and get match fit." Queiroz also mentioned that Ricardo was in the "pre-convocatoria" pre-call up list of the last friendly against Finland.
