Viktoriia Shevtsova, defender:


– The defeat by Kolos was very unpleasant, one of the key factors was mettle. We analysed all aspects and hope that the game against the Kharkiv-based team will be successful. Metalist 1925 are a quality team, the footballers have a high level of training and play for the Ukraine national team, however, any strength has a counterbalance, so we should find the opponent’s weaknesses and take advantage of them.
