Fires put out: after overwhelming failure and fan discontent – the public withdrawal of “Rytas” / News

The Vilnius Rytas team (1-3), which was sliding on the international front, suffered a crushing defeat in the Champions League against Riga VEF (60:94) on Wednesday, which greatly complicated the capital’s chances of advancing to the next stage.

Despite the painful failure and the difficult start of the championship, on Christmas Eve the team from the capital posted a public message on Facebook in which the club director Justas Jankauskas apologized to his fans and expressed confidence in the coach and the players.

We would like to apologize to the “Rytas” fans for the unjustified results of the recent team. They do not fully meet the seasonal targets set. We also want to ensure that there are no more people experiencing failure at Rytas than working within the club.

At this point, we want to express our full support to the coaching staff and the players. We are aware of the difficulties the team has had to face since the start of the season.

These words do not seek excuses. However, it cannot be ignored that the situation due to injuries and the virus at the club stabilized just a few days ago. We want to make sure that the work in the organization is continuous, and everyone’s desire is only one: to give victories to the fans. “

After a poorly played match against the VEF team, the most loyal group of “Rytas” fans – “Grandstand B” – left on Wednesday.

“You may like Morning, you may hate it, but everyone understands that what is happening here is not and cannot be at the team level.

Obviously, the coach and the sports director have to take responsibility, and that is what we hope. The laughter of the passive became reality. It’s time to change, not on the site, but alongside it.

The entire carousel of players and staff each month does not satisfy our approach to value for the club and its vision, nor does it produce results. The team created has no face, just a mosaic … There has not been a single apology from fans for one humiliation after another throughout this series. If there is laziness to play, they can be replaced by youngsters.

Patience has limits and it’s over. Happy Holidays. PS: Enjoy playing without spectators. “

Ryto’s boss spoke about the loss at a post-match press conference. coach Donald Kairys and main midfielder Martynas Echodas, but the organizers forgot to turn on the sound and their speeches were not heard.
