Having communicated with the Russian media, Klaipėda "Atlantas" coach Konstantinas Sarsanija stated that the Lithuanian A League championship is interesting, but when asked if Lithuanian clubs could compete in the Russian "Premier" League, he said: "Only for survival". "In Lithuania, there is not as much money as in Russia. And there are no such huge differences between the budgets. That's why there is more friction in the championship, it is interesting. Of course, the level of the championship is lower than the Russian "Premier" League," former St. Petersburg "Zenit" club director, known in Russia as a football agent, told sovsport.ru. "There are four or five strong teams. These are Panevėžys "Ekranas", Vilnius "Žalgiris", Marijampolė "Sūduva", "Atlantas". Also "Šiauliai". However, I think that in the top league in Russia, these clubs would only fight for survival. But "Ekranas" could play on par with the Austrians in Europe," said K. Sarsanija, who this year defeated the teams of "Sūduva" and "Žalgiris" with "Atlantas".
