The scorer was Igorio Tarasovo, and the shot went wide.
15 minutes I. Kardumas, who was interviewed, believes that his team did not make any serious mistakes: “We gave 100 percent. Forces, we played the best we could, in the end it wasn’t enough. The rivals exhausted their possibilities, we did not take advantage of ours and unfortunately we lost. It’s tough, but we have to accept it and prepare for the next game, which will be very important. “

Speaking of goals lost, the goalkeeper also recalled the untapped opportunities of “Sūduva”.
“When you don’t take risks, something will happen on your doorstep. That’s how it turned out … Everything happened quite quickly, the rivals had good opportunities, they have good forwards who took advantage of it. What to say, that’s football. Sometimes the goals come from nowhere , that cannot be changed, “said I. Kardumas.
The hiatus in League A is provoking more and more discussions in Lithuania, which, combined with the hiatus of the national teams, lasts more than a month in total. Before leaving for Finland, Sūduviai only played one friendly match with Gargždai’s “Banga”, while in other countries national championships continue. So maybe the team is losing pace?
“It just came to our knowledge then. Both I and the team … We do not look for excuses, we are athletes, we only look to the future. We give 100% strength, and if the competitors are better than us, we shake hands, We travel and prepare for the next match to win them, ”said I. Kardumas.
For the past three years, Sūduva has been through the Europa League third qualifying round and has been one step away from the group stage. I. Kardumas thinks that this year is not worth comparing with previous ones.
“This year is another story, greatly changed by the COVID-19 pandemic. Everything was ruined: the preparation, the European League system. We only had one game. If we had played at home, I think everything would have been much easier It would have been an advantage, because we would have played on natural grass, not synthetic, it was a bit harder, the ball moved faster, a lot of small details came together and we were unlucky.
This is the same “Sūduva” that it has always been. So backwards, many challenges ahead. I’m in a good mood, we’ll get in good shape and finish this season on a note, ”I. Cardumas confidently said.

This season, there were often rumors about a perhaps worse situation in Sūduva’s dressing room, but the goalkeeper only shook his head when he heard the question about it.
“I don’t want to talk about street stories, I really don’t want comments. I have nothing to say about it ”, – I. Kardumas fell.
Although fan expectations have grown tremendously in recent years, the “Sūduva” goalkeeper has no doubt that this year’s achievements on the international front cannot be misjudged.

“Going into the third phase of the European League is not a bad result for Lithuanian football. No other club in the country has achieved as much in Europe as Sūduva. So I think both this team and the last few years deserve respect. Sūduva is here now. on the map of European football. In European football, when it comes to Lithuania, it’s Sūduva. I think the club deserves respect and faith. ” 15 minutes I said Kardumas.
