The team led by the Ukrainian Yevgeny Ryvkin lost 1: 2 against Venezuela and 0: 3 against Kazakhstan in this championship.
So the most important confrontation over the possibility of continuing the tournament became the most painful failure.
Although the Lithuanians were the first to score, and the Costa Rican goalkeeper 9 min. He received a red card, ours did not take advantage of it and then they missed 5 unanswered goals.
“As the saying goes, if a team loses, it’s the coach’s fault. So it’s all mine, it’s my defeat What did we fail in this duel? We could not cope with the psychological pressure of the duel. The boys did not play as they should. Even after a well-deserved goal, they got more confused, “said J. Ryvkin.
The coach assured that he felt it was necessary to draw conclusions and move on after these games.
“I am not talking about myself. I mean the Lithuanian team. You have to keep marching. After all, this is a really good team, there are young and experienced players and I am convinced that this team has a future, ”said a Ukrainian futsal specialist.
Speaking about the match with Costa Rica, J.Ryvkin explained that the bear’s wish may have been realized by the desire of the players to perform their best in front of nearly 3,000 fans who filled the “Žalgiris” arena.
“But it’s a matter of experience,” added Ryvkin.
– You talk about the national team as if you were far from it. What is your future after this championship, after these three tournament matches? – J.Ryvkin was asked.
– At the end of the month, the contract with the Lithuanian Football Federation expires. I’m not saying “all the best” to the national team. But I am not the one who decides, the LFF leaders decide. I have no rights over boys, I have rights over myself.
I needed to think of something so that the players would somehow free themselves from that responsibility, they would not think about the importance of the match. Whats Next? I need to rest, reflect on this whole situation.
However, I have the feeling that we should support this futsal team; these players deserve respect. After all, getting off the streets and finding the strength to believe in yourself and fight the best teams in the world is worthy of respect.
I am proud to have had to coach and maybe even have to coach such a team. My question is not the main one. After all, the component of a coach’s job is a variety of career options.
– Before the game, the news was spread that Artūras Juchno had left the team. Is it said that a black cat passed between you and a footballer who even decided to end his career in futsal competitions in general?
– There are things that I will never “take” from the team. In my opinion, it is an internal team matter. There is no conflict, no scandal: in my head, he himself left the team, he did not deal with psychological problems.
Therefore, I can only express the same words of thanks to Arthur that I express to other players. Remember that the members of the Lithuanian national team are not professionals, serious tensions are possible. Because they are still needed as professionals.
I also want to say that this is a team sport. I’m not talking about Arthur, but I want to say that everything is created by a team, it is in one boat. Definitely don’t look for underwater rocks in this situation.
– But how can it be that a player simply comes and says for no reason that he wants to withdraw from the championship.
– But it was. There was nothing else. Everything that happens in a team is normal, it is a kind of training process.
– How did other players react to such a decision by A. Juchn?
– You have to ask the players, not me. I didn’t feel anything, the footballers came out on the field determined to fight. If there was a negative background, we would all see it from the first minutes of the game.
– You mentioned many times that the team had no experience in the championship, could not play the necessary control matches with strong opponents. Who is to blame for this?
– I cannot answer who is to blame, because the question is very difficult. First of all, there is the world ranking.
We are far from the leaders. If we beat that good national team, it would immediately drop from ten to twenty places. Perhaps the best and not very willing to play with the team that has a low rating.
Another thing: really good teams had to play with us in August. But why those control matches didn’t happen, I really don’t know. I did not negotiate with the teams.
