Mourinho unimpressed with Benfica starter: I saw nothing... | OneFootball

José Mourinho was not impressed with Anatoliy Trubin's outstanding performance against Gil Vicente. The goalkeeper saved the Eagles, who ended up winning 2-1, but the Special One believes that the Ukrainian was not the best on the field.

"I didn't watch the game. I was distracted and didn't watch the game. We saw a different game. Trubin makes a fantastic double save in the first minute, concedes a goal from a 16-meter free kick that should have been a foul for us," began the Benfica coach, after the final whistle.

Mourinho recalled that during the match, the Ukrainian "had two close calls with the post, and then he came out for 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, wearing Benfica's jersey, Anatoliy Trubin – valued at 28 million euros – has played 11 matches: five in the Champions League, five in the Liga Portugal Betclic, and one in the Cândido de Oliveira Super Cup. In the 990 minutes he has played, the goalkeeper conceded six goals.

Benfica returns to the field next Tuesday, September 30th, at 8:00 PM, at Stamford Bridge, against Chelsea. The game is part of the second round of the Champions League and will be played against the team led by Enzo Maresca.
