Rome, the goal is again a guarantee: only Milan have more clean sheets in 2022 – Forzaroma.info – Latest news As Roma calcio – Interviews, photos and videos

Rui Patricio has won the initial skepticism, proving to be one of the most reliable goalkeepers who have passed through Trigoria in recent years

Roma is back to lock the door. From Turin to Salerno, Rui Patricio he found Serie A as he left it, that is with a “grenade” clean sheet. In 2022, the Giallorossi have kept 9 clean sheets in the league in a total of 20 matches played. The only big player to do better is Milan which thanks to performance from the Golden Ball of Maignanrecorded 12 in the same number of games.

The Giallorossi in this one special ranking therefore they put Inter, Juventus and Lazio behind them who have obtained 7 as well as Naples and Atalanta respectively with 6 and 5. This year the Giallorossi also have a second level goalkeeper on their side like Svilar, strongly desired by Mourinhothe same man who marked the 35-year-old Portuguese with the quality seal just arrived in the capital: “Rui is Rui, he has played more than a hundred matches with my national team, he has played 4-5 years in the Premier League. Rui is stability”. Stability that Rome has finally managed to find after a few years of wrong choices between the posts.

His numbers are in stark contrast to his more recent predecessors, and in line with those who preceded him making the Olimpico dream like Alisson and Szczesny. In 39 league matches in the Giallorossi jersey, Rui Patricio did register 16 clean sheets (an average of 0.41 game), a number not reached by the unforgettable Olsen and Pau Lopez added together. The Spaniard managed to close the door just 9 times in 53 appearances while the Swede also managed to do worse (4 clean sheets in 27 appearances). The current Juventus goalkeeper, who will miss the match against the Giallorossi due to a low-grade injury, in 72 Serie A matches he had obtained just 6 more (22), while the Alisson, now firmly in the best number 1 in the world, in 37 he had closed the Giallorossi door 17 times. Numbers not far from those guaranteed by the 35-year-old who therefore managed to beat the initial skepticism, linked above all to a large expense for a goalkeeper now over the years, to the sound of safe and careful performances, hardly spectacular but always effective. year the presence of Svilar can also guarantee him a few more turns of rest.
