Justas Lasickas, who recently signed a new contract with Olimpija, has been chosen as the best Lithuanian football player in 2023, and a special award also went to his compatriot playing for Maribor. Pijus Širvys, who joined the Purple and Whites in this transfer window, received the news during the preparations for the second part of the season in the Prva liga Telemach that he was chosen as the best football player in the Lithuanian league, where he played for Panevezys.
“A very important day in my career, a really nice moment. I am happy and proud to have become the best player in the Lithuanian league. When you win such an award, it’s the collective effort of the entire team, as we lost only one game in the championship and conceded only 14 goals. Undoubtedly, for me, it means that the hard work so far has paid off. At the same time, it brings additional motivation for my story in Maribor to be very successful,” said 25-year-old Pijus Širvys for the club’s website, who was also selected in the best eleven of the season.
“Due to club training, understandably, I couldn’t attend the award ceremony. We are in a very important part of the preparations, so I couldn’t travel from our base in Belek. I will receive the award when we return from Turkey to Maribor. My girlfriend and parents will bring it to me when they come to visit,” added Pijus Širvys.
