“I am very happy to have won my first trophy for this great club here. I want to continue to please our fans. I did what I had to do — I saved my team. They scored seven penalties, I just needed to save at least one, and we won.
This is a good start for me. I hope this is the first of many trophies. I am very happy because the last year was not very successful, but now I feel that we have a very strong team,” said Trubin.
