Comments:
Valdas Urbonas, coach of the Lithuanian team:
“The trilogy of the October match will end tomorrow. The Albanian team is a team we already know, one of the favorites of the group. I think an interesting match awaits us. After our last match, two of our players, M. Vorobjov and D. Kazlauskas, have been suspended, they will not be able to participate in tomorrow’s game. We have some questions about Arvydas Novikovas. He suffered an injury, but I really hope he can play. The recovery time was quite short, but the rules were the same for all teams. We use time to rebuild physical strength. We are focused and want to end the third game with positive emotion. “
Edoardo Reja, coach of the Albania team:
“The Lithuanians played a good game in Tirana, they put a lot of pressure on our players and canceled all our advantages thanks to the pressure. By the way, the only goal of the match fell after Lithuanian high pressure, after which we lost the ball. The Lithuanians are a physically strong team and they will do their best to win tomorrow. We look for the weaknesses of the Lithuanian team and we will try to turn them to our advantage. We see progress in our game and we will only fight for victory tomorrow. We want to recover the lost points. We have many new players in the team, they are young and promising footballers. Their attitude and manageability are at their best, of course they still need time, but these are players who can complete tasks on the field. I would not speak of losses or absence of certain players in the team. I would like to highlight the new people who will fight in every match and strive to prove themselves. “
