Following Tonybet Virsliga’s 15th-round win against FK Liepaja (3:0) Valmiera FC head coach Jurgis Kalns shared his comments and thoughts with the media.
Valmiera FC head coach Jurģis Kalns: ”Another tough game here in Liepaja, on the artificial surface. I am glad that we got three points. We had expected that the game would turn out to be a bit tougher, but two goals scored, beautifully scored goals, were more episodes. I think that Liepaja was a bit disturbed by the second yellow, nothing is over at 2:0, I think if we had stayed with the same numbers, they would have given a bigger counter. As it was, it was. Then a third goal early in the second half sealed the game. We talked in the dressing room that the beginning of the second half is important, we have to do without cards and injuries, and if we can save our strength, then we do it. You don’t have to rush to score the fourth and fifth goals, because three points are still awarded. I think that we successfully played the game to the end. The main thing was three points. Not only because against the competitors, but because from the point of view of the table, from this point – until the national team break, it is important to stick to these victories, so that you can go into the national team break with a good mood and a further vision for the second half of the season.”
