“Speaking clearly, it was the futsal giant and the team who were starting to rise to the top in this match. There were even a few chances to score goals after the combinations we had, but it is disappointing that there was not enough concentration.
We must thank the men for their efforts, as it is extremely difficult to take a big step in professional football from the amateur.
On the other hand, I am glad that my team retains every opportunity to get a playoff berth, ”Lithuanian strategist Jevgenijus Ryvkinas said after the loss.
In the first confrontation, the Lithuanian army led by the Ukrainian J. Ryvkin sadly landed in Venezuela 1: 2. This broke Costa Rica 1-0. The Kazakhs, for their part, defeated the Costa Ricans 6: 1.
Both Kazakhstan and Venezuela already have tickets to the eighth final.
The Lithuanian team was once again “fed up” with the illness of the unsuccessful start of the game, since in the first confrontation, the goal fell on the Lithuanian goal during the first attacks of the opponents. Venezuela took 1 min. 30 sec., And for Kazakhstan – 20 sec.
“Well, it’s not a disease. Only the team lacks experience at this level of fighting. We don’t play so many matches with strong teams that we can say something different. You may want to train as much as you want, but when you go out on the field, it shows up. something like psychology.
If at our level the lack of concentration still saves a bit, then in the World Cup things go faster and go much further. I will say that after those quick goals we managed not to start the game and concentrate, and that is the merit of my team ”, said the coach.
The result of the match was opened by naturalized Brazilian Taynan Da Silva.
Even with the loss of about 2,000 Lithuanians. The fans that came to support our team did not skimp on their gratitude and even much applause: “cool men”, “Lithuania”, “men” sounded.
At the end of the 19th minute of the match, Lithuanian goalkeeper Egidijus Zagarskas caught the ball and discovered that the Kazakh goal was empty and hit: the ball flew four inches from the axis of the goal.
The second goal from the Lithuanian goal fell 11 minutes into the second half, and Daurenas Tursagulovas scored from defense.
The third and final shot went to Albert Akbalikov, who scored a point in the 36th minute of the game.
“To win you have to attack, but to this day we are a much more defensive team. Yes, maybe some people don’t like this game. But you can’t come and just foam, then you will get a lot of goals.
As you can see, there are such overwhelming results in the championship. Truth be told, the team and I are constantly looking for other results to keep our chances in the playoffs. By no means did I say there was no need to go out and lose. The men prepared for battle themselves, but the Lithuanian team still has its own roof.
Take a look at Kazakhstan – quality legionaries have been invited there and that is paying off. But this is not our path, ”commented J. Ryvkin.
The Kazakhstan futsal team, which ranks seventh in the world in the world futsal championship in Lithuania, arrived after successfully playing national team matches, beating the Netherlands, Albania, Romania, Slovenia and the Czech Republic.
This is the third time that Kazakhstan has participated in the most important futsal tournament. Until then, representatives of this country played in 2000 and 2016.
This team has been strengthened in recent years by being complemented by several naturalized Brazilian futsal players.
The 35-year-old goalkeeper Leo Higuita was voted the best goalkeeper in the world five times, and Douglas Junior, 32, and Taynan Da Silva, 28, were selected as the five best players of the last European Championship.
Higuita, who was one of the first Brazilians invited to the Kazakhstan team, has been representing the country since 2013.
– The last match of Group A against Costa Rica is awaiting on Saturday, which can determine if it will play in the next league. You can no longer defend yourself. How do you imagine that match? – Lithuanian national team strategist J.Ryvkinas was asked.
– Nobody says we’ll defend ourselves. It will not be just a defense. The team has already entered the championship and we will move on.
This will be our main battle. After all, even if we had a draw with Venezuela, we would still need a win over Costa Rica.
– When preparing the next game with Kazakhstan, you said it would be good not to lose painfully: does the result of 0: 3 satisfy you?
– As for the other groups, I am now basically satisfied with this result. After those big differences in other games, there is a good chance that we can continue with the priorities after defeating the Costa Rican. But we don’t have to look at those other results now, we just need victory.
