Bruno Lage has chosen who fills key spot for Benfica’s next match | OneFootball

Bruno Lage has made his decision and it will be Anatoliy Trubin who will take the goal for Benfica, in the match against Fenerbahçe. The Ukrainian goalkeeper was on the bench in the eagles' match against Tondela, last Saturday, August 23 - Samuel Soares was the Portuguese coach's choice.

According to information advanced by Record newspaper, the 24-year-old Ukrainian goalkeeper will resume the eagles' nets for the second leg of the play-off for access to the Champions League, against Fenerbahçe. The starting position of the ‘number 24’ was a plan that was already outlined by the technical team of the coach from Setúbal.

Bruno Lage's choice to choose both goalkeepers in his starting 11 also serves as a way to keep both Anatoliy Trubin and Samuel Soares active, testing their form. In fact, the 23-year-old Portuguese goalkeeper was the chosen one to defend the red nets at a crucial moment of last season: the final of the Portugal Cup.

It is worth remembering that the Ukrainian was criticized following the first leg of the play-off for access to the millionaire league, when an incomplete save ended up offering a goal to José Mourinho's team. Fortunately, for the red ambitions, the goal ended up being annulled for offside.

Benfica, by Bruno Lage, returns to the field next Wednesday, August 27, against Fenerbahçe. The match, counting for the second leg of the Champions League play-off, against the team led by José Mourinho, will be played at 8:00 pm, at Estádio da Luz.
