Rui Silva, goalkeeper for Sporting, admitted to having a less positive start to the season. The Portuguese international acknowledged that this start was not the best at an individual level.
The goalkeeper justified this less positive phase with the fact that the pre-season was "atypical", due to the World Cup. This competition altered the usual preparation schedule for the players.
Rui Silva stated that he has been gaining confidence game by game, suggesting a gradual recovery of his best level of performance.
