Well-known journalist Serhiy Tyshchenko told how the career of Ukrainian goalkeeper Andriy Lunin will be affected by his successful performance in yesterday's return match against Manchester City (1-1, 4-3 on penalties) in the Champions League quarter-finals.
"After yesterday's match, Andriy Lunin's status has changed. Now Ukraine has a top goalkeeper. Accordingly, not only Andriy himself, but also Ukrainian football has gained an image status.
Now Lunin is worth a lot. Now he can count on appropriate financial conditions. European clubs will be monitoring the Ukrainian goalkeeping market. After yesterday's game in Manchester, Zhora Bushchan's chances of moving to the top championship have increased significantly. I don't see any problems with Bushchan playing somewhere in the middle and below Spain, Italy and even England.
The chances of Oleksandr Saputin's transfer in the summer have increased significantly. Only because he plays in Lunin's last Ukrainian club, Zorya. Plus, all the other Ukrainian goalkeeping talents will be in the spotlight - Neshcheret, Fesyun, Kanareikin, Isenko, Krapivtsov, Kravtsov, Ledviy, Campion, Hereta, Backus, Vanivsky, Kharechko, Fesyuk, Petrenko, Voloshin, Makarenko and so on.
I predict that one of the young Ukrainian goalkeepers will end up in Europe this summer. Lunin will also be credited with this," Tyshchenko wrote on his Facebook page.
