Renowned Ukrainian coach Yuriy Virt commented on Serhiy Rebrov's goalkeeping choice ahead of the decisive Euro 2024 qualifiers.
Юрій Вірт (фото: nkveres.com)- Yuriy Mykolayovych, did you see Lunin's extravaganza yesterday?
- Of course I did. It was his best match at Real Madrid. Andriy had a lot of work to do and he coped with all the game episodes brilliantly. We can say that Real Madrid's victory over Leipzig is Lunin's merit.
- Can the captain pack his bags for Chelsea?
- Today, Lunin is definitely Real Madrid's main goalkeeper. If Andriy continues to play like this, he will be able to impose serious competition on Courtois.
- So you think Lunin should stay at Real Madrid even after Courtois returns?
- Of course. Courtois is one of the best goalkeepers in the world, but there is always high competition in big teams like Real Madrid. Lunin needs to stay at Real Madrid and fight for a place in the first team. I think that's what he wants.
- Lunin is shining at Real Madrid, Trubin is the main goalkeeper at Benfica. What should Rebrov do now in the national team, how should he be identified as the main goalkeeper?
- God willing, our goalkeepers will continue to play regularly for their clubs until the national team's Euro qualifiers. Then Serhiy Stanislavovych will have a headache: who to put as number 1. But it's a pleasant headache. The most important thing is that our team has really high competition in the goalkeeping position, and this is good news. We have two top goalkeepers who play in top teams - Lunin and Trubin. I think that only before the game with Bosnia and Herzegovina Rebrov will decide who will be the main goalkeeper in our national team.
