Trubin says Benfica star’s situation is easy compared to his own | OneFootball

Anatoliy Trubin - who may soon have another compatriot among the Eagles - has no doubt that Sudakov's adaptation to Benfica will be easier than when he arrived at the Estádio da Luz. In an interview with Tribuna Expresso, the goalkeeper commented on the greatness of the Reds and spoke about his teammate's situation.

"In away matches, sometimes you get the feeling that you’re playing at home. It happens that in the stadiums there are about 70 percent Benfica fans and only 30 percent from the home team. That’s why it sometimes feels like we almost always play at home", said Anatoliy Trubin.

"Actually, at Shakhtar I only learned swear words from the Brazilians. So, to be honest, that was difficult for me because I’m one of those people who needs time to settle in and feel comfortable with everyone. Later it becomes easier, but even so, now I’m surrounded by incredible people", added the Benfica goalkeeper.

"When I arrived, everyone said, 'if you need anything, if you need help just say so, we’ll help with everything.' The people in the city are very friendly, it seems to me that the Portuguese are very open and welcoming to everyone. So, overall, everything was good", said the Ukrainian international.

"Of course, now adapting is easier than it was at the beginning. When I understand the language and culture better, I feel the people and it’s much easier for me. Now I can help others, for example Sudakov. His situation is easier than mine was because I can help him with almost everything", Trubin concluded.
