Real Madrid coach, Italian Carlo Ancelotti, said today that he is not looking for a new goalkeeper in the transfer market to succeed the injured Belgian Thibaut Courtois, before the start of the Spanish Football League this week. Courtois is heading to be out of action for quite some time in the season, following he tore the anterior cruciate ligament in his left knee during Thursday’s training.
However, the Italian coach said that the Ukrainian second goalkeeper, Andriy Lunin, is ready to fill the void left by Courtois, who won last season’s “Yashin” award for the best goalkeeper in the world. “We have full confidence in Lunin, who is a great goalkeeper,” Ancelotti said in a press conference before Real Madrid’s opening match in “La Liga” on Saturday once morest Athletic Bilbao.
He continued, “He was very good during the pre-season. He is talented and what he lacks is what all young players lack – experience, and experience he will gain day by day.” However, Ancelotti did not completely rule out the hypothesis of strengthening the goalkeeper line before the summer transfer window closed. “We still have time until August 31,” he added.
And he added, “We will see in the next few days whether we will include another goalkeeper, to enhance our options, because we depend on two colors.” The current season marks a new starting point for Meringue, following the departure of its striker, French star Karim Benzema, who moved to the Saudi League following 14 years at the Bernabeu.
