Before the Clássico, Trubin’s optometrist reveals response to losing Benfica place | OneFootball

Anatoliy Trubin returned to Benfica’s goal for the first time since July, delivering a composed display in a 2-0 win at Milan in San Siro. His performance drew public praise from a member of his support staff.

Glorioso 1904 highlights a social media post from sports optometrist Patrícia Rodrigues, who works with the Ukrainian, outlining the unseen work he put in after losing his place.

She described weeks of quiet graft, earlier starts, extra sessions and relentless repetition, with attention to every detail, decision and perception, presenting improvement as a deliberate choice.

Rodrigues said that when the coach renewed his trust, it was no longer just an opportunity but Trubin’s moment, and that he read situations early, anticipated, decided and acted without hesitation, matching the moment and the faith shown.

Trubin had been displaced by Samuel Soares and was out of the team. The timing of his return is significant and leaves Marco Silva with a selection decision before the visit to Estádio do Dragão.
