part of the game, he covered well for his team to cut out the cross and cover that space and it ends up deflecting in
Only thing is that it was the game winner. They may take a little bit of a mental toll. But he seems mentally strong so he should bounce back.
I had a feeling people were being dramatic as usual. A Bola actually have him as MOTM against Chelsea, even with his own goal Richard Ríos mexeu em cada fio de uma teia bem montada (as notas dos jogadores do Benfica)Leia aqui: https://t.co/nDEqGzzdAp#futebol #nacional #benfica #fcporto #ligaportugalbetclic— A BOLA (@abolapt) October 6, 2025
Mourinho largely set them up to defend and made the game ugly, Rios was great and alot of the danger they created was from him dribbling from midfield and breaking lines. Most of the game he just played simple and tidy, honestly Mourinho is gonna make this team too cautious imo, Rios should be on the ball as much as possible drawing defenders to open space for the team, but its clear within the tactics Rios was still very good both ways and Mourinho didn't want to take risks, but Rios did beat his man every time he had the chance.

🚨🇨🇴 JOSÉ MOURINHO, sobre RICHARD RÍOS:🗣️ “Entró bien ante Tondela; esa empatía que tuvo en la asistencia es lo que necesitamos en el equipo. Es muy bonito para Richard celebrar un gol casi suyo y recibir ese cariño. Puede ser bueno para su crecimiento.”🎙️ @abolapt pic.twitter.com/c9qfE24GgI— Juan Camilo Ruiz (@Ruizrjcamilo) November 1, 2025 Hopefully he does well today.
What do you know about this Juan Castillo, goalie for the other team playing today? Colombian, 6'4, only 22. He can't be great or Crazy would have been non stopping posting about him.
Difficult to give an opinion on Castillo. He looks the part. But there”s not enough minutes at a high level for any of us to say either way if he is good or bad.
