Valdas Urbonas: “Brief preparation. We met yesterday, we will train today and tomorrow we will have a match with the Faroe Islands. Time is short, but regulation is the same for everyone. I’m so glad those people joined, we got what we asked for, with some adjustments. But that does not change our attitude and course, and I believe that tomorrow we will go out and fully commit ourselves to the square and achieve a positive and victorious result.
I want to continue that successful series. That team, the line of the game, the core of the players that can guarantee or show a good game, that can bring us a positive result, has been cemented. We have seen it lately. Of course, the situation today may change a bit due to the golden matches in League A, because we don’t have Žalgiris players, at least for now. This has a significant impact. We don’t have Fyodor Chernycho either. But we don’t want to get away from what we do, not lose track. “
Hakanas Ericsonas: “We are happy to have this match, because in a few days we will play with the Latvian national team. Within walking distance, a similar line of Lithuanian and Latvian play in our favor, we are all satisfied.
I don’t want to talk about the weaknesses of the Lithuanians, but our strength is a new team. I think we will be ready, we will emphasize the game in defense, we have a structure in attack, there are also strong individual players. The Faroe Islands are a small country, but we are doing well and I am satisfied with the way the team is playing.
In tomorrow’s game we will continue our search for the game, we will try to improve it, we are happy to have a great rotation and prepare for the game with the Latvians. We will use all the changes, because the starting lineup has not changed in the last two games. “
Since 1998, Lithuania and the Faroe Islands have met eight times. The first match ended in a 0-0 draw, and then the Lithuanians got 6 consecutive victories. However, in 2009 the Faroe Islands managed to beat the Lithuanian team for the first time in the World Cup team.
