Roman Petrenko analyzes the consequences of the possible transfer of the goalkeeper Zarya and the national team of Ukraine in the Spanish Real Sociedad.

Over the past few days, domestic football circles have been speculating about the possibility of leaving another young talented player abroad. If six months ago about the 18-year-old goalkeeper Zarya Andree Lunin spoke as a possible newcomer to the Madrid Real Madrid, now it is a question of another Real, but already a San Sebastian. We will consider what can give a possible move to one of the strongest world championships for the player himself, the old and potentially new clubs, as well as the Ukrainian team.

Undoubtedly, taking into account not the funniest realities of our championship, moving to the Example seems to be the fulfillment of a dream and an almost ideal scenario for the continuation of the career of a Ukrainian football player. Still some one and a half years ago, Lunin was known only at the level of the structure of the Dnieper, where Andrey quickly moved from the youth team to the first team in distressing club. The young guard of the gate in fact for a couple of months grew in potentially one of the best players in the country's position, and this treatment with each new match in Lunin's performance turned into a real assessment of the talent of a native of the Kharkov region.

In the Dnieper, Andrei "shot", after which he moved to Zarya, where he continues his professional growth. Not to notice the gifted goalkeeper could not and the coaching staff of the national team of Ukraine, and Lunin was in the cage of the main team of the country. I must say, I got absolutely on business. Autumn matches in the European League significantly added whists to the 18-year-old goalkeeper, and for many breeders of Old World clubs for years, Andrey's confident game became a real pleasant revelation. Especially postponed in memory match in Bilbao with Athletic, who in his native San Mames rarely gives points for a great life. Repeatedly the Basques left with nothing to the venerable Barcelona and Real Madrid, and here came the little-known Ukrainian team, and minimally beat the discouraged hosts. Immediately comes to mind the consideration: is this historical meeting for Luhansk the reason for a more detailed acquaintance with the football qualities of Lunin and his possible move to San Sebastian? !!. Very much and very admit ... Not so long ago celebrated the age of majority, Andrew from the first matches at the highest level has proved to be on the advantageous side, not only confident playing at the gate. Modesty and objective self-analysis for a very young athlete - the phenomenon is almost single, besides the goalkeeper does not hastily announce his European ambitions. Even when it was a question of a possible transition to the club of his dream Real Madrid, Lunin delicately replied that he did not feel ready to immediately win a place in the gates of creamy. With Real it's a bit different. "Donostar", as Sociedad calls in the country of the bullfight, this season is badly spent, in 19 meetings managed to miss as many as 34 balls: one of the worst indicators in Example. Yes, and the 15th line in the standings for the team, which not so long ago fought for high places, is clearly not what the numerous. So the chances to take the number one post in the middle of the Spanish football from the Ukrainian are available, and very solid.

For Zarya goalkeeper's transition to the top championship is also a real chance to demonstrate that in the Ukrainian championship you can grow in skill and then get into one of the strongest leagues of the world. This will certainly increase the attractiveness of the Lugansk club for the arrival in the team of qualified prospective players from different countries: what our football has been missing for the last few years. Yes, and Ukrainian young players who are watching Lunin's progress suddenly think about it and will start to massively add to their skills, rather than thinking about signing as long-term contract as possible followed by falling into the notorious comfort zone. There is no doubt that the possible transfer of Andrew to Real Sociedad will help the San Sebastian club, which has long been brewing a rush of fresh blood. So why not become a symbol of the revival of the "striped"? !!.

Its advantages in the case of moving the young goalkeeper in the example will receive the national team of Ukraine. Andrei Pyatov will hit 34 this year. Age for the goalkeeper, of course, is not critical, but when, as not now, it is necessary to think about the potential replacement for Shakhtar's goalkeeper. Maxim Koval in the fall lost his place in the Dynamo, giving the number one position at the mercy of George Buschanu. Denis Boyko on major holidays falls even in the application for the matches of Besiktas, and in the current offseason all will not change the situation, and, therefore, the place in the team can not yet count. In this regard, Lunin is already rightly considered to be the number two goaltender of Ukraine, and with the prospect in the near future to become the main. Of course, at the moment, the departure of Andrew to Spain - a very controversial issue and still far from its implementation, but such a step could be decisive in the career of a talented goalkeeper. However, anyway, everything will depend exclusively on Lunin.
