Yuriy Virt: "For today the main goalkeeper of the Ukraine national team is Andriy Lunin"

Former Ukraine national team goalkeeper and now a well-known Ukrainian coach Yuriy Virt told who he considers to be the main goalkeeper of the Ukrainian national team at the moment.

"For me now still more deserves to play in the starting line-up Andriy Lunin. I think that the game he shows at Real Madrid gives reason to be the main goalkeeper. He won a tough competition there. He won against the most expensive goalkeeper, Kepa (we are talking about the record transfer for goalkeepers for 80 million euros from Chelsea in 2018 - ed.).

His every action on the football pitch at Real Madrid is analysed in detail. It's all under pressure. And he copes very well. He is very well prepared mentally and psychologically. We are now seeing head coach Ancelotti saying that "we have a great goalkeeper". I think, with his game Lunin deserved more, because this is Real Madrid, after all, one of the best clubs in the world. To win a place in the starting line-up there is worth a lot. Let's also say that he is very reliable - he helps the team so much. He has no mistakes, you can say that everything is quite stable. And on the line, and on exits and kicking. This is pleasing.

As for Trubin, in Benfica he is really on a good account. Always plays, the main goalkeeper. But still the last matches were such... We can remember against Porto (0:5 - ed.).

It is good that we have two such goalkeepers, but for today the number one is Andriy Lunin", - "Tribuna" quotes Virta as saying.
