Glorioso 1904 exclusive - Soares or Trubin? Who starts in Europa League | OneFootball

Anatoliy Trubin will be Benfica’s first-choice goalkeeper in the Europa League matches, Glorioso 1904 has learned. In this exclusive, our newspaper reveals that the Ukrainian keeper will be the number one in the European competition, while Samuel Soares will be kept for league matches.

. The Portuguese coach has been relying on Samuel Soares, who has taken over as the starter, pushing the Ukrainian into a secondary role in the Eagles’ goalkeeping hierarchy.

It is with this status that Trubin will play in the UEFA Europa League matches. Marco Silva wants to give the player minutes in order to rotate him with Samuel Soares, allowing him to gain rhythm, avoid a drop in market value, and maintain competitiveness in the Eagles’ goal.

The goalkeeper management strategy inevitably brings to mind the legendary 2009/2010 season, when Jorge Jesus split duties in a similar way by relying on Quim for the national league title win and handing the Europa League starting spot to Brazilian Júlio César.
