The rebirth of Ruben Semedo

Ruben Semedo did not live the best moment of his career in Spain or within the green, much less outside of it. The Portuguese central defender was a notable investment from Villarreal (14 million euros to Sporting) that did not go well.

The Portuguese never offered the expected level in the field and also ended up arrested accused of kidnapping, robbery, injuries and illegal possession of weapons for retaining and assaulting a person in his home in Bétera. Semedo came to be in preventive prison, where he attended a talk given by Parejo and Marcelino when they were at Valencia, and upon leaving he was transferred to Huesca. In Aragon, he did not improve although he strongly believed it. Or so he assured, at least, in his presentation.

Several major errors in matches, fines from the club for partying and Francisco, his coach, publicly accusing him of “not respecting the values ​​of the dressing room.” The player arrived on July 20, 2018 and on January 29, 2019 it was already terminated. Villarreal transferred him to Rio Ave at the end of the season and in June, he went to Olympiacos.

In Greece he has recovered the level that he was known to be and now, according to the Portuguese press, Jorge Jesús wants to rescue him for his new project at Benfica. The former of Flamengo is able to straighten the course of the center-back that he already had at his command at Sporting, where he offered his best performance. The whole of Piraeus asks 10 million for him although Sporting trusts, according to A Bola, in lowering the price.

You will not be able to enter Spain

In sports, Benfica points out as his future but the central defender has also experienced recent developments in the judicial system. As reported on July 17 by 'Levante EMV', Ruben Semedo would have recognized the crimes of which he is accused and has been sentenced to eight years without entering Spain and a fine of 46,000 euros for civil liability.
