Last night's Coppa Italia victory over Sampdoria marked his first start for the club, but what did the Portuguese think of his performance?
"I am satisfied because it’s been a long time since I played," Rui told Rai. "During the game, however, I realised that I could have done more at times.
"The team is doing well and this helps those who come into it.
"Is it the right year for a trophy? I do not know. the team is trying to bring continuity to the results, but the accounts are done at the end of the season.
"It is true that until now I never had the chance to fight to win something, because the objectives of teams where I have played before have been to stay up.
"In certain teams, achieving salvation is like winning the Scudetto.
"We try not to think about Juventus, we must give achieve consistency, then we will see at the end of the season."
