Artem Shabanov: "We want to rehabilitate"

Vice-captain of "Metalist 1925" Artem Shabanov - about the atmosphere in the team after the game with "Chernihiv", goals in the match with "LNZ" and thoughts on the future opponent:

— Artem, we understand the disappointing result of the match with "Chernihiv". What are the moods in the team now? Have you already managed to digest it?

— The moods are not very good, everyone wanted to win and advance to the final, but we have this result. We will quickly forget it, switch gears, draw conclusions, and focus on the next match.

— As an experienced player, you have been through a lot. How do you think this can be done as quickly as possible?

— Honestly, I don't know. Only time is needed. It's good that we have the next game, and we are still fighting for European spots. So we need to focus and do our best.

— Have Mba and Arevalo been supported already? Have the guys recovered mentally?

— Yes, we supported them. Whether they have recovered mentally or not - ask them. But we supported them, everyone could have been in their shoes, and missing penalties is a lottery, in my opinion.

— Regarding the upcoming game with "LNZ". What can you say about the opponent?

— They have a very good defense, they concede very few goals. They are a very strong team, playing vertically. We will watch them, and the coaches will draw conclusions and tell us how to counteract, what needs to be done. We will prepare for this game.

— Will the negative result of the previous match help to further focus on this crucial battle, to rehabilitate, perhaps?

— I think we want to rehabilitate, first of all, so we will try to do it in this match.
