We see how strong they are in spirit and mentally. We must help them with rehabilitation, recovery, and prosthetics so that they can enjoy life.
It is a great honor for me to play a friendly mini-match with them, this is the least we can do for them. They have been through many difficulties and trials, but they did not break, went through rehabilitation, and are returning to a full life, where there is a place for sports and football in particular, and we must help them in this.
So, of course, when we were offered after a hard training session to come here and play with our veterans, everyone immediately agreed, and we found the strength (smiles). This is important not only for the military but also for ourselves," said Karavayev.
