After a very important victory, the “Žalgiris” coach is happy: “The men suffered, they showed character” Sports

The teams scored just two points in the tournament table before the match, so the price of victory was high. The tense match was the only goal in 9 minutes.

“He was good today in defense against fast opponents. We realized our opportunities, although we had even more. It is very important that we have gained three points at the end of the season in such a difficult match. It’s always difficult to play here, so three points are very important, “said A. Baga.

“After this game I am very happy because it is like a derby. Victory is very important, – Andral Kaludžerovičius, the striker of the second team “Žalgiris” – This is how we played or what happened in the match will be forgotten. We will fight to the end and strive to win the championship. We hope that Sūduva has rivals who will take points away from him. “

A.Kaludžerovičius did not enter the protocol of the match as the scorer: a goal was attributed to his goal for Egidijus Vaitkūnas. But the Serbian was one of the “culprits” of that episode.

“I hit the goal, the goalkeeper rebounded, and then I did not understand what happened, the ball fell into the goal. I did not understand if it was a goal in his own goal. Probably more on his own, but not important. We spoke before the game: we need to score in some way, no matter who or how. It is important to win. That was the only important thing today and we are happy we achieved it, “said the forward.

In the second half, “Žalgiris” had at least three hundred percent more chances, but did not take advantage of them and therefore the intrigue of the match remained until the end.

“I had two good chances, Liviu Antalis also had one. But it is difficult to take advantage of all the opportunities. It is normal to take advantage of an opportunity in one game and not in others. Scoring a goal is not that easy. This is the most difficult thing in football. Today we score once, we do not fail. Congratulations to the team, we are going home to meet you, ”said A. Kaludžerovičius.

Asked about the high pressure from the rivals, Žalgiris coach A. Baga stated that it was one of the parts of the team’s plan: “The Kaunas team starts their attacks well, they play well with the ball. If we gave them time, there would be problems. Therefore, close the start of the attacks should be earlier. We also talked about it, we prepared for it, we did it. “

Despite the persistent struggle, which required a lot of effort, Žalgiris made the only change. “We are well prepared for the end of the season. The boys have practice playing. Another thing is that it is difficult to enter these types of games. Antalis, Kaludžerovičius, Videmontas played well in attack, they also helped in defense. It was not logical. change anything, ”explained the Vilnius strategist.

After this round, there will be a break in League A fights due to international national team matches.

The next official match of “Žalgiris” is awaiting on October 17. – Semifinal of the Hegelmann Cup LFF with Sūduva.
