Anatoliy Trubin has addressed Benfica’s turbulent week with a social media message to supporters, focusing on how the team should respond.

The 1-1 draw with Casa Pia in the 28th round of Liga Portugal Betclic prompted criticism, then, after the win over Nacional, he went public. The player said in a post that such weeks are dealt with through work rather than words.

He also underlined the need to stay focused for the full 90 minutes, even when a game appears under control.

Trubin had previously admitted he had not been at the required level and said he would work harder to earn a call-up to represent his country.

This season, valued at 25 million euros, he has made 45 appearances for Benfica, 27 in the Portuguese league, 14 in the Champions League, two in the Taça de Portugal, one in the Taça da Liga and one in the Supertaça. Across 4,005 minutes he has conceded 36 goals.
