Football Manager 2010
Reina is one of the best goalkeppers on the game and also in real life. He should be your first choice goalkeeper should you have him in your team. His handling and reflexes makes him into an awesome shot stopper from powerful efforts, whilst his one on one stat means that when he is forced to face an attacking player one on one, he has the abiity to deal with the effort and prevent the goal. His kicking is accurate enough for you to set your personal instruction with him to feed the ball long, as his accuracy and power when delivering the ball allows him to pick out a target high up the pitch. Pepe Reina is a well rounded goalkeeper with no real weaknesses, although his teamwork and off the ball work are low this still doesn't change the fact that he is one of the most able keepers on the game.
