Unai Simon does not consider, despite Zamora winning the least capped goalkeeper in EA Sports’ La Liga, to be “one of the best goalkeepers in the tournament” and chose Ukrainian Andrey Lunin of Real Madrid as the most outstanding goalkeeper of the last season.
“Everyone has their own opinion. I also don’t consider myself among the top three goalkeepers in the League. Mamardashvili had a great championship, Ter Stegen and Oblak still seem to me to be world-class goalkeepers. Lunin seems to me the best of the season, although he did not play 28 games for Zamora,” he said on a day open to the media during the Spanish team’s concentration.
This is how Simon responded after being asked about some statements in which his teammate and Real Sociedad rival Alex Remiro did not include him in this “top 3”. “I don’t have to be in the top three. I think sometimes these things are talked about too much and they try to destabilize the situation with these comments that lead nowhere,” he said.
He also downplayed the importance of beating Zamora to his confidence ahead of the European Cup. “The award was decided on the last day. If we had missed one or two goals, I would have joined the national team in the same way. For Athletic and for me as a goalkeeper, Athletic means a lot because we haven’t won this trophy for a long time, but here in the national team, three goalkeepers are starting from scratch. It’s a completely different competition and now it’s about fighting for the debut against Croatia,” he said.
