Braga has signed Sporting Cristal's central defender Alberto Rodríguez. How good is Braga? Is Braga the clear cut 4th best club in Portugal after the big three? or is it a close fight for 4th place along with Boavista and even Guimaraes (historically speaking)?
Here's the scoop on Alberto "Mudo" Rodríguez: the pluses=he's very fast, quick, has excellent anticipation, reading of the game, excellent jumper (maybe as high as Ayala), very good in the air both in defense and in attack. The minuses=not very tall, around Cannavaro's or Ayala's height, just recovered from a nagging foot injury.
He can play very good central defense, and can also play as right fullback although his crossing skills are mediocre at best.
Vamos Braga! Champions League!!!
