Ancelotti 'skips' meritocracy with the Real Madrid goal

Carlo Ancelotti, trainer of the Real Madrid, appeared in the room of press of the Olympic Stadium of Berlin to participate in the previous press conference to the party between the Union Berlin and the merengues, that will mark the closing of the phase of groups in the UEFA Champions League for both squares. Between the diverse subjects that tackled in relation his combined, the Italian took a moment to resolve the debate around who would be the goalkeeper title of the white picture in this meeting, if Kepa Arrizabalaga or Andriy Lunin.

The guardameta Spanish was absent in the team during some weeks because of a muscular injury in the abductor right, what prevented him participate in the parties of turn against the SC Knickers and the Naples in the League of Champions, as well as in the clashes of LaLiga against the Cádiz CF and Valencia Cf. During these meetings, the cancerbero Ukrainian, initially in the paper of acting, attained to exert of excellent way, offering security in the portico of the merengues. Up to now, in the eight clashes in this period in which it has been under the three sticks, kept his goal invicta in four occasions and only has received five goals.

Ancelotti Follows trusting Kepa like titling immovable

However, for Ancelotti, the stood out numbers of the of Krasnohrad have not been sufficient so that he decide by him like titling. Although initially it thought that it could keep the titularity, relegando to the of Ondarroa to the bench in the two last meetings of the ones of Chamartín against the Granada CF (2-0) and the Real Betis (1-1), finally Ancelotti left clear that the Spanish, totally recovered, will restart his place.

Apropos the titularity of Kepa, the Italian has wanted to give a small explanation to justify his questioned decision. "I do not know if it is unfair to leave in the bench to somebody, would be unfair all the parties. Somebody has to remain . The well is that Lunin has had the opportunity that did not have in the past to show his characteristics and are very happy. It did it well. Kepa did not have to show it, has a path. The last period of Lunin has been well, but it is necessary to take into account that Kepa has done it well always", concluded.

Lunin Still does not finish to strengthen in the goal merengue

The Real Madrid fichó to Andriy Lunin in 2018 and cataloged him like a promise, being considered the archer of the future for the club. Nevertheless, after five seasons, only has had the opportunity to contest 25 meetings with the elastic merengue, having been yielded to the CD Leganés, Real Valladolid and to the Real Oviedo. Nevertheless, also it is necessary to value that it has been acting of a big guardameta like Thibaut Courtois in the white cast, which has limited notably his time of game.

However, after the injury of long dates of the Belgian, seemed that the Ukrainian could take a step forward, but his opportunity was cut by the cession of emergency of Kepa. Ancelotti Seemed not being convinced that the ex of Dnipro have the necessary merits to assume the titularity of the arch merengue, at least while the Belgian was not available.
