Real Oviedo goalkeeper Andriy Lunin today appeared in the Press Room at El Requexón:
How was the lockdown for you? How are you feeling?.
- Now it seems as though it all went by quickly, but two months is a long time for a footballer. I feel good, I'd been working a lot at home.
What have Real Madrid said to you about your performances for Real Oviedo?.
- We are going to keep going until the final match, because we have to finish what we've started. I have to show my level on the pitch and achieve the objective with Real Oviedo.
You were going to miss the derby due to international commitments. Could that be the positive of this situation for you?.
- The derby and an international match are different things; two competitive, difficult matches.
Would you be up for staying at Oviedo next year, in the event of the club staying up?.
- A lot will depend on Real Madrid. I hope to finish (the season) well and that we can stay up at the end of the season.
Does the 8th June seem like a good date to resume La Liga to you?.
- Better from the 12th onwards.
How could the return to competition after a three-month break affect goalkeepers?.
- It's difficult for any player because we lose the feel of the game. We have to be demanding and everything will turn out fine. The keeper's job is a little different, since outfield players can do physical work at home and exercises to be in good condition. We need to drop, react, maintain our agility. They are different things.
After the objective of achieving survival with Real Oviedo, do you see yourself playing for Real Madrid next season? Do you feel prepared to take on that huge challenge?.
- I prepare for that every day. I will do everything that is in my hands.
What is the competition like with the other goalkeepers?.
- I have never had any problems with teammates. We work together very well and we will be training in two groups from tomorrow.
