To have gone through this path… I want to play in the final, this is the last and most important match. I understand my contribution It’s important for me to be in the match, because not playing and the awards ceremony will be a blow.
Everything ended well. Pain before the match? They did a test for the virus, it showed. They say it’s contagious, so I can’t work with the team. Due to the fact that this is being sent, I have been suspended. But before leaving for the finals, a repeated test showed nothing. Of course, the sensations are not very pleasant, because the more you think, the more you force yourself. My family saved me – a son, a wife and other issues. And I lay in bed for several days with a fever.
First and second Champions League trophies? If your contribution is larger, then it will be more appreciated. I want to win on the field, not in jeans. There were a lot of emotions,” Lunin said in an interview with the UAF press service.
