After a two-year break, Mindaugas Kupšas will again wear the Utena Juventus team jersey. The tall man, who competed abroad last season, shared his thoughts on the year he spent in Utena, the quarantine and next season’s goals.
Fines are being issued this season
The tall man, who decided to stay in Lithuania, said that returning to Utena was the best possible option for him.
“I just didn’t want to wait long, I wanted to stay in Lithuania and the best place to come back is Utena.” My season on the Juventus team was good, both in terms of managing the club and the season itself, so it was not very difficult to decide, “said the tall man about the decision to return to Juventus from Utena.
The basketball player who defended the honor of the Hapoel club in Jerusalem in the 2019-2020 season said the season was difficult for him, but he mentions it as a good experience.
“It just came to our attention then. There weren’t many games, I had to get used to the other role because the level of the team was quite different and the goals were the highest. It was a good experience, I saw a new culture, new people. From each season I try to remember only the good things and I don’t look at the bad things. It was a good time, “Kupšas said of last season.
During the quarantine, the basketball player trained at home, and as soon as there was an opportunity to play sports in the gym, he moved there.
“We had to stay home for the first two weeks because we had just returned from abroad and had to be quarantined.” I exercised at home, and as the restrictions eased, I started walking to the gym. I train 8-10 times a week and prepare for next season, ”said the basketball player of the quarantine.
The tall man was also satisfied with the speed with which the team completes.
“It just came to our attention then. It was only the middle of the summer, and the entire team was almost complete, only a few players left. It’s fun when the team meets earlier, then there is time to communicate more with teammates.” , the player was happy.
Speaking about the goals for next season, Kupšas was specific: he wants to be among the 4 strongest teams in the Betsafe-LKL championship.
“We want to disturb the peace of the Quartet and shake up the Lithuanian elite. I hope everything is fine, we will avoid recessions and play together as soon as possible,” Kupšas said of the goals for next season.
The basketball player who returned to Utena after a two-year break did not forget the great atmosphere in the Utena arena.
“I think the vibe is great. The arena is not big, but the fans create a great vibe and light the opponents with a real sauna. I wish the fans would not stop choosing in the arena and warmly support the team. It is banal , but the fans are the team’s sixth player, which contributes strongly to the team’s result, ”the player praised the atmosphere at Utena Arena.
