here is Shava's interview after Liverpool game from his site
arshavin.eu
arshavin.eu: Andrey, congratulations on such a great achievement!
Tell us about the game.
A.A.: We arrived to Liverpool after Saturday's loss at Wembley.
Obviously we were not in the best mood, having been knocked out of
the FA Cup. Arsène told us that game was history and that we now
must concentrate on our remaining Premier League and Champions'
League games. We are playing a few teams who are fighting for the
Champions' League spots and those games might allow us to get
higher in the table.
The game? We did not start the game very well. Liverpool had the
initiative, they were creating chances in front of our goal. In
some episodes our defence came to the rescue, in others it was our
goalkeeper. Eventually we got into the game, started putting some
passes together, which resulted in a good attacking move that led
to a goal.
arshavin.eu: The goal was beautiful and well worked.
A.A.: All I had to do is put my foot in the right place and direct
the ball goalwards. Summing up the first half performance I think
the result did not reflect the game, Liverpool were pressing
throughout the half but ended up a goal down.
In the second half our opponents, playing at home with incredible
support from their fans, unleashed a barrage of attacks on our
goal. They managed to score twice, it might have appeared that we
were going to lose by a large margin.
arshavin.eu: Could have lost, were it not for Arsenal's number 23.
This brings us to the second goal...
A.A.: The defender did not expect me to burst from behind him.
Carragher had not anticipated this as well - he tried to get into
position to start the attack and as a result Cesc and myself were
left against a single defender. I was planning to pass the ball to
Fabregas initially, but having noticed that defender was closing
the space down, I decided to hit the ball, I managed to strike it
quite well, the ball flew past the post and the score became
2-2.
arshavin.eu: Goal number three...
A.A.: I managed to score the third one almost instantly after a
poor clearance. All I had to do was hit the target.
arshavin.eu: This goal did not break the hosts' resolve.
A.A.: No, their team has great spirit, they carried on passing the
ball around and attacking. Then they scored the third. Afterwards
the game became even more open: both teams went for an all-out
attack.
arshavin.eu: Which brings us to your final goal? How did you do
it?
A.A.: I saw Theo pick up the ball and realised that I needed to
dart forward. I'm happy he passed the ball to me. I didn't even
look at the goalkeeper, I was just thinking about hitting the
target. Unfortunately even four goals proved to be not enough for
us, it was a blow to concede so late in the game. Overall I think
the fans loved the show. This is the type of games hated by
defenders and goalkeepers and loved by the strikers.
arshavin.eu: Andrey, do people love poker in England? (quad goals
are called "poker" in Russia - translator)
A.A.: I'll gladly play it in every coming game.
arshavin.eu: Which goal was your favourite?
A.A.: The first one, it got everything going.
arshavin.eu: Andrey, this is a huge success. Will you be able to
keep your feet on the ground?
А.A.: I have a wife who will quickly put me back in my box.
arshavin.eu: You were awarded a bottle of champagne as the man of
the match. Did you to take the bottle home?
A.A.: No, the bottle went to our training camp.
arshavin.eu: What about the matchball?
A.A.: I was promised that I will get it tomorrow.
arshavin.eu: Andrey, the game was played in the city of...
A.A.: Beatles? Yes, they are a legendary band, of course I listened
to their songs. They're great them but I did not think about them
on the pitch.
arshavin.eu: 92 goals is a good achievement for someone playing in
your position. Century edges ever closer.
A.A.: Yes, but the final steps come at a very challenging
time.
arshavin.eu: You exchanged shirts with Torres after the game, you
do not normally do that.
A.A.: My childhood coach - S. Gordeev is collecting number 9
shirts. I hope a friend from St. Petersburg who was staying over
with us will deliver it to him.
arshavin.eu: What are your immediate plans?
A.A.: Arsène gave us a couple of days off so I'm going to spend
them with my family. We'll probably go for a stroll, visit the
Zoo...
arshavin.eu: Andrey, congratulations again! It was a fantastic
result.
A.A.: Thanks! My regards to St. Petersburg.
