Novice Metalist 1925: “I want to succeed”

Venezuelan winger “Metalista 1925” Sebastian Castillo commented on the transfer to the Kharkiv club.

– Congratulations on signing a contract with “Metalist 1925”! What emotions are you feeling now?

– Thank you very much. First of all, I thank God for this opportunity. I feel a lot of emotions right now because this was an opportunity that I always hoped for and worked for and now I don’t want to lose it.

– Did you have time to realize that a new stage in your career is beginning?

– Yes, of course, that’s what I think about the most. I know it won’t be easy, but I’m going with great enthusiasm and desire to show my talent, make my country’s name known and help Metalist 1925 achieve positive results.

– Did the fact that many Latin Americans moved to higher European leagues after the UPL influence your decision to sign a contract?

– Yes, I think so. Venezuelans performed very well in Ukraine, and this opens up opportunities for football players from my country. I think playing with Venezuela at the U20 South American Championship also played a part, as did my good performance with my team Deportivo.

– Tell the Ukrainian fans a little about yourself. What position do you play, what are your strengths?

– I consider myself strong in the one-on-one game. I am also very technical with the ball, and I also have a good shot from outside the penalty area. I can play in all attacking positions of the team, but the position of the left winger is native to me.

– Have you already trained with the team? If so, which of your teammates would you single out?

– I have only been with the team for a few days, but I can already see that there are some very good players. One of those who stand out the most is the captain. I will gradually get to know the boys better.

– Have you already made friends with someone in the team?

– I consider myself a friendly person. I enjoy being friends with all my teammates and I will try to earn everyone’s friendship. However, I have now spent more time with Nicolas Arevalo.

– Did you know anything about Metalist 1925 and Ukraine before joining the club?

– Yes, I knew about the team because I followed the UPL through the Venezuelans who played here. There were players in my former team who told me a lot about the Ukrainian championship.

– What are your goals for the second half of this season?

– My main goal is to perform as well as possible to help the team achieve the goals set for this season. I think if the team does well, I will be happy too. I like to focus on team success and I want to succeed with Metalist 1925.
