At the time, Arnas Tilindė, a 23-year-old who scored 14 points and the same number of utility points in the ranks of the Prienai Club, hoped that his team would still find its way to victory: The opponents climbed, took the balls , and we lacked the will, the struggle. Which is because I play well, but we lose. I could score some points, but the most important thing for me is to win as a team. We need to put our heads in order, we have to make an effort, we need sports rage. “
