The Lithuanian men's football team is struggling to emerge from the swamp of defeats.

Yesterday, our country's representatives suffered their fifth consecutive loss, falling 1:2 to the Romanian footballers.

While Lithuanian football fans discuss the poor results, it was decided to seek help from Artificial Intelligence (AI) to address the problems plaguing the national team.

AI identified five reasons why Lithuanians are unable to earn points in international tournaments:

1. Lack of Resources: In Lithuania, the football infrastructure and resources, compared to other countries, can be limited. There is a lack of investment in youth systems, stadiums, and training.

2. Lack of Experience: Most Lithuanian players compete in weaker leagues, resulting in a lack of international experience. This can affect their level of play.

3. Competition: The national team constantly faces strong teams that have better conditions and more talented players. This increases the likelihood of defeat.

4. Frequent Coaching Changes: Frequent changes in coaches can hinder the team’s ability to find stability in their play.

5. Psychological Factors: Losses can impact players' self-confidence, which can affect the quality of their performance.

Regarding coach Edgaras Jankauskas' achievements, AI commented:

E. Jankauskas has experience both as a player and as a coach, which can be an advantage when working with the Lithuanian men's national team. He was one of Lithuania's leading footballers and had a successful career abroad, providing him with valuable experience.

However, when assessing whether he is suitable to continue in this role, several factors should be considered:

1. Results: Is the team achieving the desired results? Is there progress in both playing style and outcomes?

2. Player Development: Is he able to nurture young talents and integrate them into the national team?

3. Tactics and Strategy: Does his tactical approach align with the team's strengths and allow them to compete with stronger opponents?

4. Team Atmosphere: Is he capable of creating a positive atmosphere within the team, promoting collaboration and motivation?

According to AI, if positive changes occur in Lithuanian football, the national team could have a chance to compete in the later stages of major tournaments in the future:

1. Development of Qualified Players: By having a strong youth system and investing in talent development, the team could cultivate competitive players.

2. Proper Training Methodology: If the national team could work with qualified coaches and implement modern training programs, this would enhance the team's chances.

3. Experience in International Competitions: Regular participation in international competitions helps players gain experience and build confidence.

4. Consolidation and Stability: A stable coaching staff and maintaining the team's core over an extended period would help ensure consistency and better results.

"Reaching the final stage would be a tremendous challenge, but consistent work and investment could yield results. Teams like North Macedonia and Wales, which have achieved international tournament qualifications in recent years, demonstrate that it is possible. If Lithuanian football continues to develop and progress, the chances of reaching the final stage in the future will increase,” AI assured.
