Castro handed award to Trubin

Before the start of training, the Miners’ coach Luis Castro gathered the whole team, congratulated Anatolii Trubin on the Player of the Year title according to the fans and handed him a corresponding prize.

“You know that I’m a coach who doesn’t like to individualize and who values the team as a whole. Because football is a team game in which the team must prove themselves and be strong. It never depends on one individual. That's exactly how I've always seen and continue to see football,” said Luis Castro. “At the same time, I really appreciate the opinion of the fans, and if they named Anatolii the Player of the Year, I respect this title. Perhaps, they made the right choice. I like all our goalkeepers: Shevchenko, Hrytsenko, Pyatov, Trubin. They are fantastic goalkeepers! Trubin worked a lot, tried hard, I gave him the opportunity, and he used it to the maximum and proved himself. This is the player who gives us great hopes for the future. And I'm glad he's getting this kind of award. But let me remind you that he wouldn’t have been able to do anything had he not been supported by this fantastic team Shakhtar, including all the players. Congratulations!”
