Following an Optibet Virsliga 20th-round draw against FK Liepaja (1:1) Valmiera FC head coach Jurgis Kalns shared his comments and thoughts with the media.
Valmiera FC head coach Jurģis Kalns: “I don’t know if we have ever had such a big lead on the pitch as we had today. It’s a shame we didn’t get the three points here, it should have been a convincing win. For such a victory that no one would have any questions about what happened in Valmiera. Three points were to be taken, but missed opportunities and a penalty kick cost dearly. There is a lack of luck somewhere, she hasn’t come yet, maybe we shot it all last season. This year, it has been hiding behind the pine trees of Dalina Stadium, it is high time for luck to come out. With the return of Mena and Ndoye, we become a different team than we were until now. I told the guys today that if this is a team that is trying to take away third place from us, then they have no options. I was expecting a more serious opposition, a more interesting game, unfortunately, I didn’t get it. I am happy with the game we showed on the pitch. There were good flashes, only the result is not satisfactory. Little by little we are starting to run, I hope for more such and such additions and then this team could look more competitive.”
