Trubin answers benching with five saves! “Extraordinary player” | OneFootball

After being left on the bench in Ukraine’s win in Hungary (1-0), Anatoliy Trubin started in the goalless draw in Georgia and was named man of the match after making a total of five saves, some of them highly difficult.

Asked about the change between the posts, among other alterations, coach Andrea Maldera said he was very pleased to be able to rely on two good goalkeepers (Trubin and Dmytro Riznyk), praising the Benfica keeper’s quality.

"It is truly an interesting and positive problem to have two such reliable players. I had absolutely no doubts about Trubin, he is an extraordinary player. He made a huge number of saves today, but he was not the only one to play well", he said.

He then commented on the team as a whole. "As far as this issue is concerned, I do not divide the team into starters and substitutes. We are a united team. I believe I should have given other players the opportunity so that they could play. They gave me very important answers to my questions. And I am very satisfied with the players who came onto the pitch today," he added.
