"I can express my opinion about any components of the game, both field players and goalkeepers".

"There were no complicated negotiations, but when Raul Riancho Shevchenko left, he invited me to take his post. I will not say that he persuaded me, but I took the time to think things over. As a result, I gladly accepted this offer. I will do everything to be the most useful for the national team ".

"Lunin? On it the decision will not be for me. And the fact that he is a young promising player proves that he has a contract with Real Madrid ".
