– There are a whole lot of younger folks on this nationwide group. Ernestas Gudelevičius was invited to the group, who went wild sporting the shirt of the Lithuanian nationwide group. What are you able to say in regards to the youth of the nationwide group?
– They’re within the nationwide group as a result of they should be right here. Ernest is coaching with Fiorentina’s important group, who’re enjoying within the Europa League last.
He is in fairly good kind in the intervening time, we have all seen his potential and I feel regardless of being 19, he is prepared for males’s soccer.
– You talked about that some gamers is not going to be there resulting from accidents, however what about Vykintas Slivka, who just isn’t talked about as an injured participant? Did you ask for a relaxation your self?
– He additionally has complaints about knee pains, the season was lengthy, and the contract with the present membership has additionally expired, the household scenario requires consideration. A mixture of causes meant that he would miss this worldwide window.
– In what kind are the gamers who got here to the nationwide group?
– The summer time window is probably the most tough, as a result of gamers in Europe or Asia (Fedor Chernyh) completed their seasons a few months in the past, Arvydas Novikov completed his season three weeks in the past, who continues to be barely injured.
After all, there are worries, there are conditions, however the identical Latvians have losses, the season ended 2-4 weeks in the past. That is what we do that camp for, to maintain the gamers in form as a lot as potential.
– Are you shocked by the truth that final 12 months’s A League champions Panevėžys are presently on the backside of the league?
– I, like everybody else, am shocked by the place of Panevėžys within the desk, the standard of the sport, its fall, however there are lots of causes for this. The gamers who have been in final 12 months’s squad are not within the group, however they’re within the nationwide group.
– Two months in the past, the scenario was completely different – the leaders performed, they performed a whole lot of minutes, they have been in good athletic form. The federation set huge objectives to win the Baltic Cup and promised a giant bonus. Wanting on the scenario as we speak, what’s the important aim within the match?
– Soccer is a dynamic sport. Within the final window, half of the now injured gamers have been wholesome, however now the scenario has modified.
Now Artemijus Tutyškinas began enjoying within the final rounds, Kipris Kažukolovs began to compete. We lose one thing, somebody improves their scenario.
There are issues which are past our management. On daily basis one thing can occur, the scenario can change. I want to develop a extra constructive perspective – we now have losses, however what are we going to do now? Are we going to begin utilizing that as our excuse? Will we be supported by the gamers who are actually within the nationwide group?
I would not say that these are second-rate gamers. They’ve all the time been on our prolonged listing. Now could be their time.
We actually hope that the injured gamers will return sooner, as a result of then it is going to be higher for the entire group, for the soccer federation. Choice from 24-25 gamers can be harder.
– Have the LFF’s guarantees relating to bonuses not modified?
– The Federation has all the time saved its phrase. So far as I’m right here and perceive every little thing, it appears to me that not (smiles – ed.). We are going to see once we win the cup. I’m assured that the issues which were promised to us will come to move.
