Ukraine goalkeeper Andriy Lunin intends to fight for a place in the Real Madrid first team after the Spaniard Kepa Arrissbalaga joined the team. Our compatriot said this to the team's coach Carlo Ancelotti after one of the training sessions.

This information is available from Defensa Central. "Kepa's signing does not change anything for me, I will continue to work hard," the Ukrainian Real Madrid legionnaire said in a conversation with Ancelotti.

At a press conference before the 2nd round of the Primera Division match against Almeria, the Italian coach himself said that Lunin would take his place in goal. At the same time, he praised the work of Kepa in training, who joined Real Madrid earlier this week after the Belgian goalkeeper Thibaut Courtois was injured.

"Kepa is adapting very well. He's young, but he has a lot of experience at international level, and Lunin is a little bit lacking in that sense, which is normal for a young man. I don't think the goalkeeper rotation will be every three days, but having two very good goalkeepers gives one or the other more minutes. While Kepa adapts, we continue with Lunin," the Italian said.

It is worth noting that the Ukrainian goalkeeper played a great match against Athletic Bilbao, in which the Madrid team won an away victory.
