Latvian striker has joined Marijampolė’s “Sūduva” Valery Shabala He says he was surprised by the level of mastery of the new teammates.
The 25-year-old footballer joined the team of Lithuanian champions a week ago.
“It just caught our eye then. When I woke up in the morning and got a message from the agent that I was interested in ‘Sūduva’, a good offer was made, which I quickly accepted. I was already without a club for 2 months, I also didn’t want to wait for the Polish transition window to open for another 2 months, and here came a good deal from a good club … I also knew the coach, although I didn’t have time to work with him. No problems, so we quickly agreed and we came to Marijampolė, “said the forward, who scored 12 goals in 53 games for the Latvian national team.
V. Šabala claimed that he had not spoken to anyone about “Sūduva”, because he knew enough about the club. In the Marijampolė move, the striker had to play more than once during the control match.
“I did not call anyone, I knew for myself that the club has been champion for 3 years in a row, it performs very well in European Cup tournaments, that there is a good stadium, training grounds here.” I had not heard any negative comments about this club, so the decision was made very quickly, “said the Latvian.
The footballer knew enough about the club, but his new teammates surprised him.
“I knew there were a lot of legionaries on the team, but I was surprised to see their level with my own eyes. He is very tall. Austrian Daniel Offenbacher, who recently joined the team, was particularly surprised. This is a very high level player who works beautifully with the ball, – V. Šabala shared his impressions. – In terms of organization, everything here is also great. Everyone helps, I have absolutely no difficulty. “
The striker spent the match “Sūduva” with “Kauno Žalgiris” on the reserve players bench.
“The sports form is definitely not the best now, it takes longer. I think in 2 weeks I will be ready to play, “said the newcomer to” Sūduva “.
The Latvian spoke about the goals in the same way as compatriot Glebas Kluškinas, who joined the Marijampolė team with him.
“There is nothing to talk about the team’s goals, everything is clear here. We must defend the champion title and strive to perform as well as possible in the European Cup tournaments, – said V. Šabala.” Personal goals too they are simple: get in good shape, score goals and help the team. “
The striker, who started his football career in Riga, signed a contract with Club Brugge (Belgium) in 2014, but was constantly leased to other teams. In this way, the Latvian managed to compete in Anorthosis from Famagusta (Cyprus), Jablonec and Pribram (Czech Republic), Miedz from Legnica (Poland), DAC from Dunajska Streda (Slovakia) and his native Riga. In 2017 V. Šabala returned to Poland: he signed a contract with Bielsko Biała’s “Podbeskidzie”, from which in mid-2019 he returned to the well-known “Miedz”.
“Sūduva” will play the next league A game on Saturday at 5 p.m. on an excursion with Panevėžys.
