Unhappy Benfica player went to Restelo to see The Weeknd | OneFootball

Anatoliy Trubin took advantage of Sunday night to attend The Weeknd concert at the Estádio do Restelo. The Benfica goalkeeper was present at Belenenses’ stadium to watch the show, which wrapped up the Canadian artist’s time in Lisbon after Saturday’s performance. The Ukraine international was not alone and attended the concert with his partner, Maryna Andriienko.

His appearance comes at a time when he is going through a less positive spell at Benfica. The undisputed first-choice goalkeeper for the Eagles over the last three seasons, the situation changed with the arrival of Marco Silva. The Portuguese coach has been backing Samuel Soares, who recently claimed the starting spot, pushing Trubin into a secondary role in the Eagles’ goalkeeping hierarchy.

The situation is not pleasing the Ukraine international, who has lost ground at precisely the moment when he is trying to establish himself as one of Benfica’s main figures in goal. Even so, despite the dissatisfaction, the Reds’ board still has confidence in the player and is preparing to move forward with Trubin’s contract renewal.

The goalkeeper’s future at the Club of Light should therefore continue to be one of the topics to watch, at a time when Marco Silva has already defined new priorities for Benfica’s goal. The idea is also to renew Samuel Soares’ contract.

This decision takes on particular importance, since the Ukraine international was linked with a move away from the Luz throughout practically the entire transfer window. Benfica looked for a solution for the player, but did not receive any offers, a scenario that appears to have contributed to the change in strategy.
