The goalkeeper of the Spanish "Leganes" Andriy Lunin was the last to join the youth national team of Ukraine U-20, which arrived in Poland to the World Cup, where rivals in the group tournament are waiting for her - the teams of the USA, Qatar and Nigeria.

- Andriy, you have just joined the team. As a mood, what goals do you set for yourself?

- The mood is good, I haven't had the national team for a long time. The world championship is waiting for us. Maybe for someone he will be the only one in life. That's why I want to play as well as possible and show my level. We will not say loud words about winning the world championship. Let's move step by step. First, we set a goal to leave the group, and then try to go as far as possible.

- How do you assess your physical condition at the end of the season?

- I feel great. I trained at the club, played the last two matches, got into the game rhythm.

- In the first round of the group stage of the World Cup, the Ukrainians will face the USA ...

- I don't know anyone in it. In general, it is a strong opponent. Athletic team, fast, pressing well.

- Who will be Ukraine's main competitor in the group - the United States, Qatar or Nigeria?

- This is the World Cup, all national teams are unpredictable here. It will be difficult against any opponent.
