Timi Max Elšnik was selected as the best footballer of the year in the Prva Liga Telemach, but an even more prestigious award went to his teammate Justas Lasickas. The full-back, who recently signed a new contract with Olimpija and will extend his stay in Ljubljana, was even named the best footballer in Lithuania in the year 2023!
Justas Lasickas, who played in Serbia before coming to Slovenia, became the Lithuanian Footballer of the Year for the first time in his career. Last year, Edvinas Gertmonas, the goalkeeper of Žalgiris, won the award, and before him, Arvydas Novikovas, who currently also plays for Žalgiris, was the best for two consecutive years. Justas Lasickas, as expected, also became the first player from a club in Slovenia to be named the player of the year in Lithuania.
“If you are chosen as the best, it means there have been unforgettable moments behind you. It’s nice that there were more good moments than bad ones. That people remembered those and voted for me means a lot to me. At the same time, I fondly remember the past years,” said 26-year-old Justas Lasickas at the gala event, which he attended directly from the preparations in Turkey. So far, Justas Lasickas has played 39 matches in the Prva Liga Telemach.
