The semi-final match between the Lithuanian and Latvian national teams is scheduled to commence at 4 p.m. on Saturday. Ahead of the fixture, Arvydas Novikovas addressed the media, expressing his pleasure at returning to the national squad.
Speaking after an official press conference held the day prior, the veteran player noted the positive experience of coming back to the team. “It’s always a pleasure to return, and now that there has been such a long break, it’s even more pleasant,” Novikovas stated. He added that the continuity within the squad and coaching staff facilitated a smooth reintegration process.
“The core of the team has remained, the coaching staff has also not changed, so it was not difficult to adapt,” he remarked. Despite the ease of adaptation, Novikovas conveyed his high level of anticipation for the game. “However, I will not hide the fact that I was and still am excited – I was talking and going to the pitch,” he concluded with a smile.
Earlier coverage included comments from E.
