The Ukrainian goalkeeper spoke about an unsuccessful match at the European Championships as part of the national team.
Andrei Lunin admitted his mistakes in the Euro 2024 group round match against the Romanian team. In a conversation with reporters from Marca, the goalkeeper spoke in detail about what happened.
In addition, the goalkeeper of the Ukrainian national team summarized the results of Euro 2024 and spoke about the game of “blue and yellow” in this tournament.
According to Lunin, in the second and third matches, Sergei Rebrov’s team played better than against Romania, and therefore deserved the best result of the tournament.
“Since the start of the war, football has been special for the country, because millions of Ukrainians follow us and want a little joy. Before the games, they send us videos, photos, audios, flag We also saw soldiers watching the battles in the trenches with weapons we watched these videos and heard the shouts and shots of the battle, but they were watching the game.
First we had to go through the qualifying playoffs in March, and we did it. We want to give people the joy of reaching the playoffs of the final stage of the tournament, to thank the fighters who protect us. We are very disappointed that it didn’t happen, because of the football we showed in the second and third matches, we deserved better.
Obviously I made two mistakes. The first error was technical, and I think it could have happened, but it was a mistake. I know what the goalkeeper’s mistake is and the striker’s mistake. Goalkeeper error is 90% goal. The second goal was sad because I didn’t see the ball come out and then I lost my vision in the half because the defender was already paralyzed. I jumped blindly, but missed. And that’s why at the end of the game I apologized, it was the least I could do. I apologized and continued working,” the goalkeeper said.
We remind you that Lunin previously announced his desire to stay at Real Madrid.
