National coach questions Bruno Lage’s choices at Benfica: Decision | OneFootball

Anatoliy Trubin - who commented on the new addition to the eagles - revealed that the Ukrainian national coach, Serhiy Rebrov, asked him why he hadn't been the starting goalkeeper in Benfica's last match against Alverca last Sunday, with Bruno Lage's choice falling on Samuel Soares, a goalkeeper trained at the Club da Luz.

"He personally asked me why I didn't play the last game. What did I answer? I don't know, it's the coach's [Bruno Lage] decision," Anatoliy Trubin revealed in an interview with the Youtube channel Vzborna, noting that the Ukraine coach questioned him about being a substitute in Alverca.

"It was the first time that the season ended with the Club World Cup. There was a small break and the new season began. My form? It's not bad, but it can always be better," said Anatoliy Trubin, a 24-year-old goalkeeper, discussing Benfica's participation in the new format of the FIFA competition.

"[The secret to Benfica's success] Hard work and teamwork. Of course, the focus is more on the goalkeepers, but I think the whole team has been doing well and that's why we have good results, especially defensively," concluded Anatoliy Trubin, analyzing the good form of Bruno Lage's team.
