Jozsef Szabo, former coach of Dynamo Kyiv and the Ukrainian national team, criticized Real Madrid coach Carlo Ancelotti after his remarks about Los Blancos’ goalkeeper Andrei Lunin. Szabo’s words are quoted by Ukraine’s Sport Express.
In a recent interview, the Italian coach said that Lunin’s main goal is to be ready to replace Kepa Arrizabalaga.
“The teacher has no right to say this openly. You must be careful with your language and always consider the consequences. If he wanted to tell Lunin that he did not trust him, he had to call him for a private meeting so that no one would know or hear.
After that, Lunin could work worse in training than in sleep, as he was constantly worried. I never understood why Real signed Kepa. Did he create a goal miracle? NO. They took him because he was Spanish.
Lunin is certainly not weaker than Kepa and even surpasses him in some moments. I don’t know why Ancelotti doesn’t see Andrey as the first goalkeeper,” said Szabo.
24-year-old Lunin was transferred to Real Madrid from Ukrainian Zorya in 2018. The Madrid club loaned the goalkeeper several times. He played 12 matches for Real Madrid last season and conceded 13 goals in these matches.
He has six matches with the royal club this season. Real Madrid ranked first in La Liga with 35 points after 14 weeks. In the Champions League, Ancelotti’s team reached the 1/8 finals of the tournament ahead of schedule.
