The president of Vilnius "Žalgiris", Andrius Tapinas, revealed the reasons behind the 1:0 victory against "Kauno Žalgiris".

According to him, the win was determined by the improved psychological state of the team.

"This was our Vilnius "Žalgiris", as we want to see it. With emotion, sporting anger, helping each other, to the very end, digging in, seizing that much-needed victory."

Of course, due to the idea of taking the team to Druskininkai not to scold, not to explain, but to refresh their minds, we received experts' mockery that we were doing everything wrong.

And the team had the chance to be calm, to talk to each other, to walk without coaches, to relax. What happens in Druskininkai stays in Druskininkai, I won’t reveal anything, I’ll just say that I fell just before the final table.

I congratulate all 8000+ football enthusiasts who came to the football celebration and created a record that we will only improve in 2028. Today the victory is ours, "Džiugas" is at the top of the table, and the championship is just getting more interesting. After the international break, Vilnius "Žalgiris" will return powerfully strengthened with new players!” – wrote A. Tapinas.
