The head coach of Real Madrid does not want to make the Ukrainian goalkeeper the main goalkeeper.
Andrey Lunin had another good match for Real Madrid. The Ukrainian made some great saves against Elche and kept his goal intact, allowing the “royal club” to win a dry victory 3:0.
However, Lunin’s excellent game did not convince Real Madrid head coach Carlo Ancelotti. The Italian does not want to make the Ukrainian the main goalkeeper and he will continue to be a replacement for Thibaut Courtois.
“Now that Courtois is back, Lunin will be back on the bench. But his level is amazing, he looked very good in these matches,” said Ancelotti.

At the same time, Lunin himself, as it happened, did not think to sit in the shadow of Courtois. In a commentary after the match with Elche, the Ukrainian said that he is happy in Madrid and does not want to change anything in his career.
“Lack of playing time? It’s not a problem, I’m at the best club in the world, it’s the best place and my whole family is happy. I enjoy every day, I work every day with best players and it’s a good atmosphere.
Trainings are held at a high level. I am physically and technically ready to play,” Lunin told Marca.
Recall that Andrey Lunin played 6 matches for Real Madrid (4 in La Liga and 2 in the Champions League), when the Belgian Thibaut Courtois was not on the football field due to injury.
