One of those already sweating in training under Ante Šimundža is Pijus Širvys. The representative of Lithuania is one of the three newcomers at Maribor, where Pijus Širvys will strengthen the competition as a right-back, a position where Šimundža faces some challenges due to the injury of captain Martin Milec. Pijus Širvys doesn’t hide his satisfaction for signing with Maribor, which in his eyes, regardless of its position in the standings of the Prva liga Telemach, is the biggest club in the country.
“I am happy to join the biggest club in the country, with the most trophies and a rich tradition. When I heard there was interest in me, I didn’t have to think twice; I accepted the offer without hesitation. I realized Maribor is a big club from day one. In terms of organization and all aspects,” Pijus Širvys told the club’s website.
The 25-year-old footballer, who played for FK Panevežys before coming to Slovenia, highlighted that he had a successful period before arriving, playing football at a high level. He believes he can quickly prove himself in Maribor. “We immediately got to work since an important part lies ahead of us; we must make the most of the preparations. We’ll work hard to be ready for the second half of the season. I had a good season in Lithuania, scoring many goals as a defender. I hope to be effective in Maribor too, but that’s not the crucial point. The most important thing is that we win,” concluded Pijus Širvys.
