Zalgiris is an extremely tough team to face, especially at home, where few manage to emerge victorious. They’re a very talented team that thrives at home, where they show maximum energy and fighting spirit. To compete, we’ll have to fight with equal intensity for the entire 40 minutes, to the best of our ability. Referees – Match refereeing entrusted to Carlos Peruga, Piotr Pastusiak and Sergio Silva.
