“Samuel will play Chavish, but it’s not a competition between Trubin and Samuel. Not at all. Of course, I hope to win and then I hope to play either Atletico or Felgueiras… I can’t guarantee that Samuel will play in the next match in the Portuguese Cup. This decision is for this match.
Samuel is an excellent goalkeeper, but in the five matches I have played here, he has not played a single minute. I always wanted stability, not only with him but with other players, and he never played. He works hard, he deserves to play, he’s here with us. Trubin played two matches in the last 15 days, Samuel did not play. We have complete trust in him, and yes, Samuel will play tomorrow,” Mourinho was quoted as saying by the club’s press service.
This season, Trubin played 17 matches, ten of which were clean sheets with 13 goals conceded.
We will remind, the match of the 1/32 finals of the Cup of Portugal Chavish – Benfica will take place today, October 17, at 21:30 Kyiv time.
Earlier it was reported that Sudakov trained individually before Benfica’s match against Shavish.
