"After Tuesday's 0-3 defeat in Tallinn in the first match of the newly started Baltic Football League against Vilnius, the head coach of the Estonian team praised the Lithuanian team.
"I cannot blame my players, because they did everything they could, it's just that the opponents were stronger than us today," he said. "We have to bow our heads to 'Vėtra' and admit that they are a better team. But we have nothing to be ashamed of."
"I was a bit surprised that we were punished so harshly in set-piece situations," the strategist said. "But we are still a young team, and in international matches opponents are often punished in set-piece situations."
"We know that 'Vėtra' has a big budget, but goals are not scored by money, but by players," added the opponents' coach. "In the match, it was clear that they were much better at controlling the ball - they were able to keep the ball at their feet even on such a slippery pitch."
