Andrey Lunin

There are few juniors in world football, for which European grandees would not skimp on millions. Ukrainian goalkeeper Andrey Lunin was so lucky to join the list of real Madrid's most expensive acquisitions among players under the age of 19.

Andrei was born in February 1999 in a family, as he said in an interview, "banker and technical employee." At the age of 6 he joined the football section, to the first coach Ivan Manko. The father supported the interest of his son, and my mother was not sure for a long time that Andrei needed a career as a football player, but when the first successes came, began to go with him to the training camp.

The goalkeeper started with mini-football and from the position of a striker, but at times the coach put Andrei on the goal. The goalkeeper suggests that, most likely, it was due to high growth. Lunin now has parameters of 191 cm and 81 kg.

In his native Krasnograd there was a football club Torch, but lunin never wanted to play there. With the local team, consisting of boys 2 years older, Andrei went to Kharkiv for company and on weekends he played for the local Arsenal. At the age of 11, the young footballer was invited to Metalist, where a couple of years later he signed the first professional contract in sports biography.

The years spent at Metalist were remembered by the goalkeeper with interesting trips to the cities of Ukraine within the framework of the championship of the youth football league and participation in the U-14 final.

In the middle of the 2014/2015 season, Andrey Rusol, a former defender of the Ukrainian national team who was working in the selection service of the Dnipro club, contacted the young footballer's father. The advice of former Ukrainian national team goalkeeper Vyacheslav Kernozenko was not without. Three days later, The Lunina arrived in Dnipropetrovsk, not particularly sorry for parting with Metalist, who began to have financial problems. Andrey even managed to play against yesterday's teammates and win.

The coaching staff of the new club noted that Lunin came with good basic skills and goalkeeper technique, noticed that Andrei competently works with two legs. In addition, the goalkeeper had an emotional resilience, which was surprising to expect from a guy his age.

Almost immediately we talked about the future prospects. Mentors believed that it is necessary to gradually pass all the stages - youth, youth, and then the team of the highest level. However, no one was going to artificially restrain the growth of the footballer.

In the season spent at Dnipro, Lunina was involved in the matches of the ukrainian youth team. With the team Andrey won the first victory in the Ukrainian Cup and reached the quarter-finals, helped to get a long winless streak, and under the curtain received a call-up to the national team.

The adaptation, according to the goalkeeper, went well. He befriended Andrei Pyatov and goalkeeping coach Pedro Hara, found common ground with his mentor Andrey Shevchenko. In each match Lunin tried to perform his playing duties on the field.

The most offensive missed ball for Lunin - in the opening match against "Carpathians" when he could well defend at zero. However, failures do not knock out of the rut. After the game, the goalkeeper thinks a lot, and the next day he doesn't think about anything bad. At an earlier age, it was so easy not to perceive defeats, I had to talk to coaches and parents to work out calmness.

The financial crisis soon reached Dnipro, but by that time Andrei, along with one defender and two midfielders, had moved to Luhansk's "Dawn". Here the skipper got the opportunity to play against the leading teams of the country, to "feel" the lawns of the Europa League. Another issue is that because of the change in the approach in the organization of the attack, Lunin began to work less with the ball and more often to give long passes. At the end of the season, the fans recognized Andrei as the best player.

In May 2017, Lunin participated in the qualifying round of the 2018 FIFA World Cup. A year later he set an age record as the youngest goalkeeper of the Ukrainian national team.

Among his colleagues, Andrei does not have any one recognized authority. De Gea likes the game on the goal line, with Manuel Neuer giving first place to Manuel Neuer. And a sample of sporting longevity, stability - Gianluigi Buffon. Cristiano Ronaldo is the last person Lunin would like to see in front of his goal:

The goalkeeper happily avoids serious injuries. Answering questions about this, I remembered only problems with the knee, and even then it happened in "Dawn".

Little is known about the life of the goalkeeper of the Ukrainian national team off the pitch. Andrey's girlfriend's name is Anastasia Tomazova, the photo with her in large numbers is posted on the "Instagram" of the football player.

Nastya is from Dnipro, 3 years older than her other half, studying at the national university named Olesya Gonchar.

No sooner had Andrey got used to the national team, as representatives of Napoli knocked on the door to the young goalkeeper, offering a contract for the amount of €8 million, Liverpool, Inter, Juventus and Everton. But everyone was blocked by the generosity of Real Madrid. For the goalkeeper " Dawn" received 8.5 million, and if Lunin shows a decent result, the bonuses will raise the amount of the transfer to 14 million. Thus, the Ukrainian will surpass Gonzalo Higuain, whom the Spaniards bought from River Plate for €12 million.

Andrei, already famous for his poise, soberly assesses the situation. He says he does not want to become the first number in the Real Madrid goal, but expects to do so in the near future. And the club is not chosen for mercantile reasons - Lunin realized the childhood dream. And in addition, he wants to meet the "super-man and super-player" Cristiano Ronaldo, as well as record the victory in the Champions League.

According to rumours, such a rapid rise in the goalkeeper's career may not have taken place due to the conflict between the head coach zindin zidan and the president of Real Madrid Florentino Perez. The latter was not satisfied with the statistics of Keylor Navas, in his place considered the candidacy of Kepa Arrisabalaga.

He believed that the new skipper would not help, as the problem is not in the defender of the goal. Evil tongues explained this attitude of zidan by the fact that the third number of goalkeepers "cream" was his son Luca. Of course, my father wanted to see the guy in the first team.

The parties have come to an agreement with mutual conditions: zidan wins the Champions League and the national championship, and Perez postpones personnel changes for the summer. The coach fulfilled the conditions by half and left Real Madrid, who replaced him Julen Lopetegui was more compliant and did not object to the new goalkeeper.

In addition to the purely applied, Lunin is assigned the role of a symbol of the new era in Real Madrid. In the press there are suggestions that the owners no longer want to spend fabulous money on the stars and not be sure that the spending will pay off and justify the nickname "Galacticos". In addition, the current players do not cheaply the club.

That's what Perez intended to rebrand Real Madrid by attracting young, ambitious but not sky-high players as long as the club retains the reputation. How reliable this information is, it remains to be seen, as Florentino is ready to offer for the Brazilian Alisson Becker 60 million.
