"Lietuvos rytas" rival - significantly changed "Siauliai" team
"Lietuvos rytas" team will play against "Siauliai" on Saturday. Last summer the upcoming rivals significantly strengthened, and the legendary player Mindaugas Zukauskas was the most contributing to the rebirth of the club.
The former basketball player was determined to help the crew to recover glorious times and have done a lot of work before this season.
"We have created a team of the future," said the manager.
"We signed contracts for 2-3 years. But the first task was to sign a contract with coach Antanas Sireika."
The 61-year-old strategist returned to Siauliai after a couple of seasons in "Juventus" club.
Vladyslav Korenyk, Paul Hill, Lukas Aukstikalnis, Zydrunas Kelys, Martynas Echodas, Arvydas Cepulis, Gytis Neimantas, Tomas Lekunas were replaced last summer by experienced Vytautas Sarakauskas, Arminas Urbutis, Americans Nicholas Zeisloft, Omar Prewitt, as well as young, but capable of becoming an unpleasant surprise for the rivals Ignas Vaitkus, Kristupas Zemaitis and Laurynas Birutis.
