Although the Panevėžys native Vykintas Slivka is only 18 years old, a few weeks ago his name was declinated by fans of the Italian Serie A giant Turin "Juventus" all over the world. The reason for this - the Lithuanian's inclusion in the "Serie A" match application with "Genoa".
Although V.Slivka did not debut in those matches with "Genoa" in the ranks of "Old Lady" in the Italian championships, it is possible that this season we will still witness such moments. All young "Juventus" footballers dream of the opportunity to train with the main "Juventus" team and millions of young players worldwide, but in Vykintas' case, this is no longer a dream, but reality.
"Experiencing all the events together with the team - a fantastic feeling. Andrea Pirlo scoring the decisive penalty kick was something "unreal", all the emotions erupted instantly. A truly extraordinary feeling to be a part of a club like "Juventus"," V. Slivka emotionally told Futbolo.TV website about the match in Genoa.
For a Lithuanian playing for one of the most famous clubs on the planet, this interview with Futbolo.TV is the first serious conversation about his career, indelible impressions in Italy, dreams, books, Panevėžys "Ekranas", and "Juventus" stars, which he used to see only through a television screen. This and much more - in this open interview.
"Vykintas, a few weeks ago you sat on the bench for the first time in Serie A matches with "Genoa" as part of the Turin "Juventus" team. Can you say that it was one of the most memorable days of your life so far?" - Futbolo.TV journalist Paulius Jakelis asked V. Slivka.
"Without a doubt, I can say that. That day I lived my dream and had the opportunity to see how everything looks from the inside. The organization, living conditions, food - everything is at the highest level, you don't have to worry about anything, all your concentration is directed towards the approaching match. Before the start of the match, you won't hear any laughter in the dressing room, every player tries to focus on the match, and all thoughts are directed towards the upcoming duel.
Coaches and team leaders give the final advice, before leaving the dressing room we hug over the shoulders and stop in a large circle, a few seconds follow various slogans and we all go out to the field. It was a fantastic feeling to experience all the events together with the team, and when Andrea Pirlo scored the decisive penalty kick, it was something "unreal", all the accumulated emotions erupted instantly. A truly extraordinary feeling to be a part of a club like "Juventus".
