Silvio gets http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Cristiano-Ronaldo-c9629 blessings before embarking on Atletico Madrid extravaganza
http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Real-c30728 Madrid superstar, Cristiano Ronaldo, has spoken in favour of his compatriot, Silvio, saying the Portuguese international is loaded with ingredients that would help him become a shining star in the Spanish Primera Liga.
The 23-year-old has penned a five-year contract with Atletico Madrid after he left the Portuguese outfit, http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Sporting-89-c40576 Braga. The contract will keep the Portuguese defender at Estadio Vicente Calderon until 2016.
Atlético Madrid seem to have their eyes set on the prodigious defender after he impressed one and all with his scintillating performances for Braga in their Europa League campaign. Unfortunately, Silvio’s efforts went in vain as Porto clinch the trophy with
a 1-0 win in Dublin.
The Spanish club, who have sold their young shot-stopper http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/David-de-Gea-c10463 to English Premier League club Manchester United, are yet to reveal the transfer fee that has been paid for Silvio.
Cristiano Ronaldo, who plays along with Silvio in the http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Portugal-c2984 national team, has highly-praised the extraordinary talent Silvio possesses.
“Silvio is one of the best full-backs around in Europe. He is very strong physically and is always dangerous going forward. He is a pretty versatile player who can play both on the left and on the right. He had a very good season with Braga and was http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Vitalô-c40903
in their Europa League success.” http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Ronaldo-c31734 told Marca.
Atletico Madrid, who failed to do well in the last season with a disappointing seventh finish in the Spanish Primera Liga, have been splashing hard to make their unit a stronger one. And Silvio will definitely prove to be a beneficial addition.
“He's very smart tactically and has the right attitude. Silvio is one of the best full-backs around in Europe. He is very strong physically and is always dangerous going forward. He's very smart tactically and has the right attitude.” Ronaldo added.
Silvio has also had the privilege to represent his national team Portugal on three occasions.
