Lunin come back with gallons

Asturias has changed the life of Andriy Lunin (21 years old). His arrival at Oviedo in January, after chaining two assignments without many minutes in Leganés and Valladolid, it was the opportunity he was waiting for and he did not miss. Therefore Madrid informed him on July 24 that next season he will be the second goalkeeper in the squad, the moment I wanted so much. The sports management believes that what is missing to finish can be achieved at the Bernabéu, so no attempt has been made to extend the link with Areola. It is expected that, in the medium term, the Ukrainian will end up challenging Courtois for the place in the eleven.

This is how the circle begins to close for Lunin, after in 2018, after his signing from Zorya for about € 8.5M plus 4 in variables, he agreed with Madrid to seek a loan to take goal in the First Division. Since then his journey has not been easy, He started as a substitute for Cuéllar in Leganés, where he barely enjoyed 544 minutes and 6 starts. Despite this, he left some sample of his potential, as in the penalty stopped in the Cup against Rayo, but without opportunities he ran the risk of staking …

So in summer he went out never to return from Leganés, which incidentally had to financially compensate Madrid for its secondary plane. He was able to stay at the Bernabéu, but Keylor's I keep-going made him leave at Valladolid. However, Sergio opted for Masip and the madridista packed his bags after only two appearances in the Cup, 210 minutes against Tolosa and Marbella.

Lunin, key in the salvation of Oviedo

An escape awaited him at the winter market, the from Oviedo in Second. Months later, the data say that he went down one step so he could then go up the entire ladder. In the Tartiere they gave him 1,800 minutes, for the 754 added between Butarque and Zorrilla. His role was pointed out key to salvation, receiving from he averaged one goal every 90 minutes, registering 6 clean sheets (30%) and demanding an average of 10 shots from his opponents to beat him (Courtois, 12; Areola, 7). The Asturian team received 29 goals in the first round and, with Lunin, 20 in the second, a difference that explains its permanence to a high degree.

Happy and grateful for the opportunity, the main reason why Madrid now pull on him, Lunin looks to the future with ambition. He is summoned along with the rest of madridistas at the end of August for the preseason. He knows that Courtois, the Zamora of the last League, starts as a starter, but he is not satisfied. He already warned in AS on May 25: “If I came to this club it is because I want to show what I am worth. I came to play.”
