Benfica regular admits poor display: “Bad…” | OneFootball

Anatoliy Trubin did not hold back in his criticism of himself, as well as the entire Ukrainian national team, after the surprising draw conceded to Azerbaijan. At the end of the match, the goalkeeper of Benfica - who has already returned to Portugal - admitted that it was a 'disgrace' and calls for changes in the next international break.

In statements to the Ukrainian newspaper Sport, moments after the end of the match, the number 1 of the Club of Light did not hide his disappointment at having drawn with Azerbaijan: “It's a disgrace. It's very, very bad because we need to win these games, no matter how”.

Next, the Ukrainian international stated that the entire team, including him, needs to improve and respond in the next international break: “If we want to get to the World Cup, we all need to think at an individual level. The next stage will be decisive, so we need to understand how we are going to fulfill our task, if we want something”.

Finally, after analyzing the match against the team that, days before had fired Fernando Santos, Trubin made a point of leaving a special message to the fans of the Eastern European country: “They are always the best. There is no reason to complain. It doesn't matter where we play. They will always support us”.

Remember that Ukraine, after the defeat against France (2-0), again lost points in the trip to Baku, where Georgiy Sudakov, new reinforcement of Benfica, scored the goal of the visiting team, moments before the Azerbaijani team tied. After two qualifying rounds, remember that Trubin's team only has one point, in a group that is led by the French, who have six points.
