Heads up, Mourinho: Benfica star talks about feeling the pressure | OneFootball

Pressure is something that current players have to deal with in their day-to-day lives, whether it's in a game, in training, or even on social media. However, for Anatoliy Trubin, Mourinho's number one in the Benfica goal, it's part of an athlete's routine to feel pressured.

Currently integrated into the Ukrainian national team's training camp - leaving the Club da Luz short-handed - the young goalkeeper gave the recipe for a footballer to reach his maximum potential in his career: ""If you want to be the best, you have to know how to deal with pressure. Especially in this era, with social networks, the Internet and everything they write"."

In an interview given to Give Me Sport, the Benfica goalkeeper stresses that nowadays it is difficult to live with pressure, something that greatly affects players today: "You have to deal with it. Because without a strong mentality it's impossible to play at the highest level"."

Not just as a goalkeeper, but as an athlete, you have to be disciplined. It's a daily routine that helps you immensely"."

To conclude, Anatoliy Trubin highlighted the role of constant work, reminding that nowadays, 'knowing how to play ball' is no longer enough to succeed in modern football: ""Talent is no longer enough. You can achieve something, but you won't be the best. Discipline is one of the key points"."
