A Lithuanian representing the Portuguese club’s under-23 and under-19 teams will play in Kaunas on a rental basis for at least one season.
“I think it was the right decision that I could have made at the time of the whole pandemic. I have returned to an environment that I know well and that will represent my city team,” said the 20-year-old defender.
In January 2019, Armal signed a 4.5-year contract with one of the flagships of Portuguese football. Later, the player moved to the Benfica club of the Kaunas Stumbras team.
In the first Lithuanian league, V. Armalas made his debut as a member of Stumbro B at the age of 16 and quickly established himself in the team’s starting eleven. The 2018 season was the most memorable for Vilius – the player had a chance to debut in League A and often competed after 90 minutes at the end of the season.
Currently, the footballer is constantly invited to the Lithuanian Under-21 team and is one of the main defenders of the center of this team.
At the new club, V. Armalas has already made his debut and played the match against “Kaunas Žalgiris”. Vilius and his teammates will play the next match this Wednesday in Vilnius against the Baltic Football Academy team.
The Hegelmann Lithuania Club is a company in evolution and ambitious to grow and improve. I think the team itself is a good mix of young and experienced promising players. In League A we will be competitive.
I myself feel good, the team players and staff received a warm welcome, it gives confidence. My sports form is good, I came here directly from the training process ”, said V. Armalas.
The defender looks forward to returning to the A League fights and experiencing the joy of the match.
“I am looking forward to the start of the fights in League A and the LFF Cup. I hope that we work hard in training and games, that they help us improve individually, so that we can enjoy football as a team,” said the Blue and White debutant. .
Defender Lukas Čerkauskas, 26, also joined the Blue and White team.
Lukas spent the first year of his career in the reserve team of Panevėžys “Ekranas”, from where he later transferred to the main team, which was dominant in Lithuania at the time. Representing Ekranas, the defender became a two-time Lithuanian champion, in 2011 and 2012.
The following year, Panevėžys’s team won bronze medals, and after the season, the Panevėžys resident moved to Kaunas Stumbras, where he represented for several years.
Later, L. Čerkauskas’ career centered on Alytus, where he wore the DFK “Dainava” jersey for one season. In 2018, the footballer returned to the ranks of Stumbras and played in it until the start of the 2019 season.
Two years ago, L. Čerkauskas returned to his native Panevėžys, where the player helped the Panevėžys team to take their first steps in League A for two seasons.
“I feel very good, I know the city and the Lithuanians in the team well. I’ve had to compete with most of them before, ”said the Panevėžys national defender, who joined the Blue and Whites.
“From what I see in training and games, what kind of work ethic, dedication and desire of the club, I have no doubt that we will be competitive in League A and even the strongest teams in the country will have to read with us.
I would like all of us to be healthy and, most importantly, patience for both us and the fans next season, ”said L. Čerkauskas.
The debut of L. Čerkauskas, who represented several Lithuanian youth teams, could be seen in the control duel against “Sūduva” from Marijampolė.
From now on, Hegelmann Litauen’s honor will be defended by former potato team Levan Macarashvili. The midfielder signed a contract with the Blue and Whites last week and became a full member of the team.
The 23-year-old newcomer to the team is well known to Lithuanian soccer fans, having previously defended the honor of Kaunas Stumbras. Kartvelas played in the Provisional Capital in 2017-2019, played 69 games and scored 9 goals.
“Frankly, I had no idea to go back to Lithuania and still to Kaunas. I am very happy to be here. We have already had to train and play with new teammates, I felt very good, we will see how it will be next,” said Hegelmann Litauen, a fresh from Sacartwell.
Leaving the beleaguered Stumbras behind, Levan crossed hands with Armenian Premier League Vanadzor Lori and played there for the season and had 5 assists.
Last season, Macarashvili spent his team in Saburtal, Tbilisi.
“Of course, I knew about my new club, I followed their game while playing in Kaunas. I knew that the players of that club have good conditions, that the club always looks for the highest goals,” said Levan.
L. Mačarašvilis has already managed to play the first control match at Hegelmann Litauen club last Saturday against Kauno Žalgiris.
“My goals are very high, I want to finally win League A with Hegelmann Litauen, I want to help the team. We are preparing for the championship and we will fight in every game,” said the Blue and White rookie.
