The assistant coach of the Lithuanian champions FBK Kaunas, Eugenijus Riabovas, stated that the removal of "Dinaburg" from the Baltic Football League means that the match between Kaunas and this club on Sunday will not benefit the Kaunas team.
"The fact that "Dinaburg" has been removed from the Baltic Football League is not beneficial to us. In this league, our young players could gain international match experience, which is useful, but now we will play less," said Eugenijus Riabovas, the assistant coach of FBK Kaunas, on Friday.
The coach confirmed that the team is still preparing to travel to training camps in Poland and Germany. There they should meet with the "Lithuanian" club of Edinburgh "Hearts". "Yes, we have agreed on these matches, we should meet," said E. Riabovas.
In the coach's opinion, this A League season should be very tough. "This season, a very strong opponent should be "Vėtra". During the off-season, they became a very strong team. Of course, "Ekranas" will traditionally be a serious opponent. But we are not inclined to write off any team. This season, eight clubs are contenders for the top four."
The coach delighted the club's fans with the news that the legionnaire defender from Senegal, Pascalis Mendy, has already recovered, but also announced the temporary loss of Nerijus Radžius - the experienced defender suffered an injury.
