Bayern goalkeeper Manuel Neuer commented on the defeat in the match of the 3rd round of the group stage of the club world championship against Benfica (0:1), separately noting the play of the Ukrainian goalkeeper of that team, Anatoliy Trubin.
«The start of the first half was not very successful, but in the second half you saw a different team that controlled the ball and defended well. It was much better than how we started in the first half, and I think the intensity was much higher. If we distribute the ball quickly, if we have fast actions, we create many chances, but today we lost momentum, and that was a key moment.
Of course, Trubin was a great goalkeeper today, and he played very well. We missed a moment when Harry was offside, that was a great shot from Joshua, but all these little moments led to the defeat,» — Neuer is quoted by the official FIFA website.
