Trubin’s display overshadowed by Benfica star: nothing out of the ordinary | OneFootball

Benfica defeated Gil Vicente, 2-1, and Anatoliy Trubin saved the reds from another defeat. However, José Mourinho refused to give credit to the 'number 1' of the eagles, believing that the goalkeeper had a relatively quiet night in the second half.

"I didn't watch the game. I was distracted and didn't watch the game. We watched a different game. Trubin makes a fantastic double save in the first minute, takes a free-kick goal from 16 meters that was a foul for us", the Benfica coach began to say, after the final whistle.

Mourinho recalled that, during the match, the Ukrainian "had two close shaves with the post, and then he had exits to crosses, caught long balls...", making it clear that he disagrees with the man of the match award for the goalkeeper: "I didn't see anything special in Trubin, honestly".

This season, with the Benfica jersey, Anatoliy Trubin - valued at 28 million euros - has played 11 matches: five in the Champions League, five in the Liga Portugal Betclic and another in the Supertaça Cândido de Oliveira. In the 990 minutes he was used, the goalkeeper conceded six goals.

The Benfica will be back on the pitch next Tuesday, September 30, at 8:00 pm, at Stamford Bridge, against Chelsea. The match is part of the second round of the Champions League and will be played against the team led by Enzo Maresca.
