Head coach of Lugansk "Zarya" Yuri Vernidub commented on the long-awaited transfer of goalkeeper Andrei Lunin to Madrid "Real".

According to the mentor of the Lugansk region, he hopes. that the young goalkeeper will succeed in the Royal Club.

"If he stayed in the Dnipro and continued to play in the Second League - would Lunin have saved a chance to progress or not? Another year he had to play for the Dnipro division higher. It is unlikely that during this time he would have received what would have been possible in just the season spent in the elite for "Zarya". I'm not talking about the challenge to the national team, in which the guy managed to make his debut.

Whatever it was, a year ago Lunin's transition became an important acquisition - both for the player himself and for the club.

Wished him the main thing - health. And also - to add in that dedication and desire to work with which he is endowed. Although Lunin predict the role of the second and even the third goalkeeper or the prospect of renting in another club, I still believe in him. I know the character of this guy, his potential.

When Andrew was in Madrid on signing the contract, he talked with the new head coach of "Real" Julien Lopetega. Lunin got a chance to prove himself:

he will go on tour with a new team. I'm sure that if he gets a chance, the guy will try to use it. For him now the minimum task - to be in the top three goalkeepers "Real Madrid. Thank God that Lunin's transfer took place. This only confirms that we are on the right track, "- said Vernidou.

Recall that in the season 2017/18 on the goalkeeper's account 36 fights for "Zarju" in all tournaments. In March 2018, the goalkeeper made his debut for the national team of Ukraine.
