Benfica’s Ukrainian goalkeeper Anatoly Trubin did not shake hands with Monaco’s Russian midfielder Alexander Golovin before the match of the fifth round of the general phase of the Champions League.
The broadcast included a moment where it is clear that golovin extends his hand and Trubin Ignore the Russian. After this, Sasha looked in surprise at the leaving Ukrainian goalkeeper.
Father of the Ukrainian goalkeeper Vladimir Trubin spoke about his son’s decision: “I think this is stupid. I’ll talk to him at night!
Trubin Sr. also noted that he has not seen his son for a long time and is unlikely to see him in the near future, because he lives in Donetsk and his son plays in Portugal and does not recognize the annexation of the DPR to Russia. . Furthermore, the child does not help his parents financially.
State Duma deputy, Olympic champion Svetlana Zhurova commented on the vile act of the Benfica goalkeeper:
“You shouldn’t expect anything else from them. They have instructions. If the Ukrainian goalkeeper had shaken Golovin’s hand, he may not have returned to Ukraine. There was a time when your athlete Yaroslav Maguchikh after the photo with Maria Lasitskene was the subject of harsh criticism. As a result, she had to exaggeratedly say that she didn’t like Russia to be left alone. So there are immediate consequences there. I don’t want to put myself in your shoes, I’m just stating a fact.
Ukrainian and Russian athletes communicate abroad. And before we talked, we spent time together, we went to training camps. And then everyone realized that this could not be done. Our athletes don’t need to react to this, they just need to train and play.
“When this is all over, it will be necessary to say separately that all athletes must shake hands or not shake hands at all.”
But what does the two-time Olympic biathlon champion think about it? Dmitry Vasiliev:
“Most likely, this is not the personal position of the Ukrainian goalkeeper, but following instructions from Ukrainian politicians. Manifestation of corporate ethics: As the top man in the country says, then everyone follows his orders. I would like to believe that this is so. I really hope that when everything ends at SVO, he will be the first to shake Golovin’s hand.
This is the result of brainwashing in Ukraine. People are afraid that their actions will affect them later. After all, they need to continue living there.
The Ukrainian goalkeeper did not harm Golovin, he simply did not shake his hand. Alright. Alexander will understand this and survive, and time will put everything in its place.”
