After this match, not only the fans but also the club president Andrius Tapinas were disappointed.
“We all agree that Vilnius “Žalgiris” is in the deepest hole after the loss to “Hegelmann”. In such a case, there are two ways to proceed. You can sit, feel sorry for yourself, and think about how it happened, and on Sunday go to the champions at the Darius and Girėnas stadium,” said A. Tapinas in a video published by Vilnius “Žalgiris”.
“Or take measures that could shake the team and help get out of the hole, which, in my opinion, is psychological. The club chose the second option. We do not want to sit idly and wait for something to happen without taking action.”
He revealed that the team left Vilnius for a camp in Druskininkai.
“Today the team left for a four-day camp in Druskininkai. This will not be a camp with two training sessions a day or cross-country runs. This camp is designed to reset minds so that players can privately talk about what is not working in the game. We will try to help them build mutual connections without coaches, among themselves. An active program is planned. I hope to see a different team.

Then on Sunday, they will travel from Druskininkai to Kaunas. There they will face the champions “Kauno Žalgiris”. In that match, the Kaunas team will be the favorites. I have no doubt there will be a record number of spectators,” A. Tapinas looked ahead to Sunday.
Today, the Vilnius team was joined by a player with Belgian citizenship – 25-year-old Danny Koy Lupano. A few days ago, the club was joined by Ukrainian footballer Stanislav Bilenkis.
“The club is preparing to introduce newcomers. We have introduced two, one more is expected. It’s good that two are already here. We have good commercial results, which allows us to spend more. We expect at least one more newcomer. The primary task has been accomplished. There will be time for the newcomers to get used to the team.
The downside is that Andrius Skerla will be away for U20 national team training. A plan will be prepared, and the assistants will manage,” A. Tapinas concluded the video.
