Roberto Jimenez - Goalkeeper

[Akuma]

Hi =)

As you can see, I am a fan of Benfica, and this season we bought a goalkeeper from Atletico Madrid for 8.5 million €.

He hasn't be impressive in the few preparation games we did, and people are starting to think it was a really bad deal.

I want to know the opinion of the people that watched him in Atletico Madrid / Zaragoza.

Is he really bad on the set pieces? Cuz he suffered 2/3 goals on situations that should be easy :\

Thank you

I liked him at Zaragoza. He has very good reflexes and, of course, is quite tall. The only thing is that he makes saves with one hand a lot and cannot control where the ball bounces to.

What mistakes did he make on the set pieces?

He is a great goalkeeper.One of the best in the world.8.5 millions was a steal

Drughi I didn't understand at all your comment lol


Thank you mosesmalone
I don't know what he's been doing then, I don't see much reflexes. Tonight he suffered a goal against Monaco where he was slow, and didn't even try hard to get the ball.

The other occasion was on high balls where he lost it to the forwards head, which is weird since he is a giant :\

Maybe it's just nerves or lack of form, but I really hope he doesn't become a flop after all that money :\

By the way you can check the last goals here (spoilers in both matches lol):
