Goalkeeper coach of the Russian national team Vitaly Kafanov I was satisfied with the goalkeeper’s performance “Karabakh” Andrey Lunev during the return match of the 1/8 finals of the Europa League with “Bayer” .
The match in Leverkusen ended with a score of 3:2 in favor of the Germans. Bayer scored two goals in stoppage time in the second half and advanced to the next round.
— “Qarabag” played well again, again they led 2:0, but at the end of the match they lost their advantage again. In the episode with the first goal, there was little chance of saving Andrei, but in the second missed goal he was unlucky – they hit him at point-blank range. He did everything right, but he wasn’t lucky enough. Lunev did his job.
I think without this deletion we might not have missed the victory. Andrey, for his part, did everything he could. Usually such plays drive both the goalkeeper and the players crazy. They are very difficult to live with and the thorn in the heart remains for a long time.
I am now more concerned about Andrey’s psychological state. It is very important how quickly he can forget the painful defeat and return to the state that was before these matches. Andrey is a psychologically stable guy. I think he will be able to survive this period without pain,” Kafanov said, as quoted by Metaratings.ru.
