Ex-Porto boss has no doubt: Benfica don't ship three with Trubin | OneFootball

Samuel Soares started in Benfica’s defeat to Porto (3-1) on matchday seven of the Liga Portugal Betclic. The young Portuguese goalkeeper did not come off well in the picture on the first goal of the clássico, and Rui Tomé believes the Eagles would not have conceded the three goals if Anatoliy Trubin had been in goal.

"Benfica would not have conceded three goals with Trubin in goal. Do we choose goalkeepers depending on the competition, or do we choose them depending on the pattern of problems the goalkeeper will have in that match? It seemed to me to be a game clearly better suited to Trubin’s profile than to Samu’s profile," he said on BOLA TV.

Next, the former Porto youth coach reinforced his position. "I think Samu is an excellent goalkeeper, he has had a great journey at Benfica, and here nobody is ever questioning the qualities of the professionals. But my feeling is that Benfica, with Trubin, would not have conceded three goals", he commented.

Given this display, Samuel Soares could lose his place to the Ukrainian, according to our newspaper. .
