Shara led Žalgiris last season, but the interrupted season due to the coronavirus also marked the end of the era of the Kaunas fan favorite in the temporary capital.
Kaunas, 44, who has crossed with the hands of Barça, elevates the team to stardom to the top of the Euroleague, the Catalan team is the first in the tournament table with 8 wins and 2 losses.
Š.Jasikevičius, who led Žalgiris to the final four in 2018, is watching his former team’s game in the Euroleague, where Martin Schiller’s men are now mired in the quagmire of five consecutive losses.
After landing in Kaunas, Shar hugged her father Lina and communicated with the Lithuanian media.
– How do you rate the game of “Žalgiris” so far this season?
– Very well. They hold up well at the table, there have been losses, but you have to see who you played with, with teams in the top eight that are well trained and show great game. Those losses may not have been a surprise, but I have to admit that it plays very well, I’m excited to see it.
– What mood are you in now?
– We were not in a very good mood, we lost twice in a row (against ASVEL in the Euroleague and Valencia in Spain – Aut. Past), we relaxed after a very good month. We felt good and then they quickly lowered us to the ground.
– Did you take any action after those two losses?
– I’m trying. We saw the video, there were conversations, I think the players understand … They have to understand that each game has to start, each rival makes you have different problems, that reaction against Valencia was not what we expected.
– How do you assess the implementation of your philosophy in Barcelona?
– There are many changes in the team, everything is going quite well. Many high-level players left the team, only Nick Calathes came, everything is going as normal. We are making progress, but of course the last week is worrying.
– And personally, what state of mind are you in again?
– It would be a super humor, if not those two defeats. We always say that you bring the situation from work home, the mood after two losses is not the best. There wasn’t much time to think about that trip to Kaunas. Sure, it’s great to be back, but you know we live in basketball and the basketball situation is what it is.
– What a pity that tomorrow there are no fans in the arena?
– We are even better fighting for victories. Done.
– What picture of “Žalgiris” do you see so far, how much has it changed?
– After many situations have remained the same, Žalgiris has four, if we take Vasturi, great creators, which we said is the most important. The game is very nice, with a lot of movement, the developers solve a lot, then there are roliniai players who understand everything perfectly.
The large number of developers is very worrying.
– In this situation basketball is sometimes not in the foreground, how sometimes other things become more important?
– I think we have to see the fact that the world is very difficult, and we work our jobs, we earn money, we can enjoy our work. And that not everything will be perfect, you saw. The most important thing is that we do what makes us happy. There are problems for everyone, for us perhaps less than for others.
– Can you meet the family?
– Yes.
– Is it fun to go back to Kaunas?
– No. Nephaina (laughs). Clearly a faina. After all, a house.
