Rui Silva

Goalkeepers fascinate me because the job is so unforgiving, and Rui Silva has climbed to the top of a demanding profession at Sporting CP and for the Portugal national team. At 189 centimeters he has the frame you want between the posts, but reaching the Primeira Liga and international level takes far more than height. What I notice is the patience the role demands: keepers often wait years behind established names before getting their shot. Earning caps for a nation as deep in talent as Portugal tells me he's mentally tough as well as physically gifted. That combination is exactly what the position rewards.
