Samuel Soares and Anatoliy Trubin discuss their place in Benfica's goal. The Portuguese player was launched by Bruno Lage in the last two championship games - and is preparing to renew - having already played more matches than the Ukrainian in the League (two against one). Artur Moraes does not have a defined starter, trusting both.
"It's modern football, there are no longer just eleven starters. Two players at the same level for the same position is good for everyone, that's how champion teams are made", began the former Eagles' goalkeeper, in statements to the newspaper A Bola.
Artur admitted to admiring both of Benfica's goalkeepers, giving high praise to the duo: "They are two young players, they are evolving, Benfica has greater defensive security than last season, it's normal for the goalkeepers to stand out".
Having retired from the field, the former footballer also gave advice to Trubin and Samuel Soares: "Keep working and maintain the level when the less good moments come... Everyone knows the demands of playing at Benfica and the responsibility of always being at your best. When everything is going well, everything is wonderful".
