Rulli, before his great opportunity in the Villarreal goal

Gero Rulli, Argentine goalkeeper of Villarreal, has started in the first two league games against Granada CF and RCD Espanyol de Barcelona, which is already a trend, and a notable change in the yellow team's goal.

Despite his arrival last season and the club's commitment to take over his services, the Argentine goalkeeper was not able to change the role in the yellow goal with his signing, since Sergio Asenjo was the fixed one in the League and he played the cups.

With that, the feeling has always been that Asenjo remained as the starting goalkeeper in the team, Rulli being the alternative for the future.

It is true that the performance of the goalkeeper in the final stretch of the Europa League and the achievement of the title, opened the door for Rulli to make the leap and was made with the yellow goal permanently, as it seems has happened.

But Not having had a good preseason (he got Covid), made Asenjo play the preseason games and with it, the Belfast final. Thus, this change was not expected at the start of the league, having not had a week of work with Rulli already recovered. But it seems that Unai Emery had already decided that the bet for the League was Rulli, as it was seen in the Ceramics and in the RCD Stadium.

The logic indicates that Asenjo will play the Champions League and the Cup, as did his partner last season. But questioned about it, the coach failed to confirm that this would be the case, assuring that “we pay attention to performance, we attend to give Rulli a chance after last season. We are happy with Asenjo and Rulli, after the passing of the competitions will mark the decisions “.

Rulli is facing the opportunity to settle in the Villarreal goal, it will be necessary to see if it is as fixed in all competitions.
