Trubin says he’s had enough and blames Benfica signing, too many headlines | OneFootball

Anatoliy Trubin got tired of answering his teammates’ questions about Georgiy Sudakov. This revelation was made by Trubin himself, jokingly, in an interview where he also confessed that Rui Costa told him he had never seen him as happy as he was with the signing of his compatriot.

“The President [Rui Costa] and I spoke. He told me he had never seen me smile as much as I did when Sudakov arrived,” said Anatoliy Trubin, the 24-year-old Ukrainian international from Benfica, who is currently on national team duty, in a conversation with the YouTube channel 'Vzbirna'.

“I saw a lot of news. I realized there was interest and that negotiations were ongoing. I spoke with him. Obviously, I wanted the transfer to happen. I’m happy,” said Anatoliy Trubin. It’s worth remembering that before the deal for Sudakov – who was thrilled with Benfica’s surprise – was finalized, the goalkeeper even made some comments on social media.

“When he [Georgiy Sudakov] arrived, some players started saying, ‘Ukrainian friends, now you’ll be even happier.’ Everyone asked me what he was like. I was already tired of answering. I’ll help him in every way possible,” said Anatoliy Trubin, joking about the situation with his compatriot.

Finally, the Benfica goalkeeper addressed the Ukraine – France clash, which will take place this Friday at 19:45 and is part of the qualification phase for the 2026 World Cup: “We’re thinking about winning. I like what Yarmolenko said: ‘Saying is not the same as doing.’ Only the pitch will put everything in its place.”
