Benfica player takes swipe at Marco Silva: not playing irks me most | OneFootball

Anatoliy Trubin spoke about the current stage of his career and admitted that he is going through a particularly demanding period, after losing his place at Benfica under Marco Silva. In a question-and-answer challenge, the goalkeeper revealed some of the thoughts that stay with him off the pitch.

Among the things that irritate him most is precisely the fact that he is not being picked: "Well, when I don’t play," he said. The number 1 admitted that the lack of minutes has allowed him to understand even better the weight of every opportunity when he steps onto the pitch.

“Maybe we can lose that sense a little when we play regularly, but in this period I’m going through, I’ve realized that every minute on the pitch is extremely important,” he explained to presenter, journalist, model, and Miss Ukraine 2016, Oleksandra Kuchurenko.

The goalkeeper also does not hide that his own mistakes can keep echoing in his head for quite a long time. Asked about that more demanding side of his personality, he admitted that he “often keeps dwelling on mistakes,” to the point of thinking about them “for an entire day.”

Despite the frustration, he guarantees that he continues to work to be ready when a new opportunity arises. The Ukrainian sees himself as his “biggest critic,” but also recalls a lesson he received during his time at Shakhtar. Andrés Carrasco, a former coach, left him with a message that now takes on special importance: “He used to tell me that I had to be ready because I wouldn’t always play. And now, that’s it, I have to be ready for everything.”
