Benfica head coach Roger Schmidt shared his thoughts on Anatoliy Trubin's performance in the Primera Liga matchday 15 against Famalicana (3-0).
"Everything is important in football. It is important to score goals, but it is also important to defend well. Defence is one of the aspects of the game, and we have to be very good at it. Winning games like this without conceding goals is very important.
Famalikan created good chances and we needed the help of our goalkeeper. Trubin is progressing more and more, he is doing very well. We can always count on him when we need him. But, in general, stability in defence is very important because it means we don't need to score a lot of goals to win games," Schmidt was quoted as saying by Benfica's official website.
It will be recalled that Trubin became the real hero of the match against Famalikan: with the score at 1-0, Anatolii was forced to repeatedly save his team from a sure goal and endured until the 85th minute, when his teammates managed to double the lead.
