There is great competition in the Betis goal after the arrival of Rui Silva to the Helipolitan team to fight Claudio Bravo for the position. If the Portuguese is supported by his performance at Granada, the Chilean's credentials are his good work last season, despite his injuries, and the great level he is showing in the Copa América.
That is why the decision to Pellegrini To choose the goalkeeper who will start the season as a starter will be based on small details. And one of those details will be the performance in the preseason, where Rui Silva will start with a certain advantage over his competitor.
The reason for this advantage is none other than the fact that the Portuguese is already on vacation after the elimination of his team from the European Championship last Sunday. Meanwhile, Bravo will defend the Chilean goal tonight in the duel against Brazil, favorite to win the tournament, although Chile will not provide facilities.
At least Rui Silva will join Betis' preseason one week before Bravo. Then Pellegrini will decide but, in time, the former Granada player will already have a minimal advantage over his competitor for the position.
