Experienced midfielder of "Metalist 1925" Vyacheslav Churko - about the final match of the season against "Veres", tuning in to it, and the importance of victory for the team:
— The end of the championship was not easy. How much does this series of six winless matches personally annoy you?
— It happened as it happened. We have one last match left, where we need to take three points and go on vacation in fifth place with good emotions.
— After such a series, do you want to finish the season quickly or, on the contrary, do you have a desire to fix everything?
— There is a desire to fix everything, but it is probably in the new season. Hopefully, we will finish nicely now, rest well, and prepare for the next season.
— How united is the team after such a stretch?
— The team is united now. I can say that not everyone wants to go on vacation - everyone wants to continue. But unfortunately, we can no longer qualify for European competitions this season. I hope we can achieve this in the next season.
— The last bright match was against "Veres" when we finished that match in Rivne. Surely, this match will be different. What do you think will be different about it?
— I don't know. I believe that "Veres" became a more principled opponent for us after that match, so we will prepare 100% to win.
— In tactical terms, what can make "Veres" dangerous?
— They move well in the central line as a team. I think they can act as the first number and play more on counterattacks. I hope everything will work out for us, and victory will be ours.
— What do you want to prove to yourself in the last match?
— That we can win, as we did before.
— How important is it to finish the championship in fifth place?
— I believe it is very important. Going on vacation with a victory and fifth place is better than without a victory. With good emotions. Moreover, fifth place is not far from European positions. I think we need to solve this issue in the next season.
— What would you like to say to the fans before the last round?
— Believe in us until the end - and together we will succeed.
