Nikolay Medin: "Trubin should leave Shakhtar"

Former Dnipro goalkeeper Mykola Medin shared his thoughts on the career development of Shakhtar goalkeeper Anatoliy Trubin.

- Anatoliy Trubin spent the season at a very high level. Yes, there were mistakes, but the quality of the game is impressive. Trubin's trump card is his calmness. He is very balanced and stress-resistant. He also has an analytical mind and phenomenal goalkeeping skills. And most of all, Trubin differs from his competitors in that he starts his team's attacks very well. He does not send the ball anywhere, but controls it well.

Trubin should leave Shakhtar and go play abroad. Unlike in the Ukrainian league, he will have constant stressful matches and regular challenges abroad. And his future career will depend on how he copes with these challenges. He should not move to England, because it will be too difficult to adapt there. But the championships of Italy, Spain, or France are quite suitable for Anatoliy. He shouldn't move to the top clubs, because he can lose playing practice by staying in the reserve team. The best option is a mid-table team that will not be among the leaders of the championship, so that the Ukrainian has a lot of work on the field. Ideally, this club should play at least in the Conference League or the Europa League," Medin said.
