On Tuesday, the audience gathered at the Kaunas Žalgiris Arena could see a somewhat unusual picture: Antanas Guoga, president of their competitors respectful of the principles, the president of the Vilnius Rytas club.

The 45-year-old businessman and MEP in the photos of the Euroleague match in Istanbul with Fenerbahč in Istanbul also wears a Žalgiris cap.

Such an image in the public space did not catch Morning's fans.

In particular, in the other European basketball countries – especially in Greece or the Balkan countries – it is difficult to imagine the rivalry of the attributes of the club of competitors.

However, Guog BasketNews.lt himself has stated that he saw nothing wrong with that – he is called by the entire Lithuanian team.

Žalgiris is a Lithuanian team. I myself was born in Kaunas and when Zalgiris is competing with the best Turkish team in such important matches, there is a great desire to win them, "said Guoga." It's not a pity to put a green cap on me. "

The dissatisfaction of the supporters of "Rytas" of Guoga had already taken off after officially declaring in the liberation of the club that "the Lithuanian team must always be in first place".

The most active supporters of the B Tribune group and the individual fans reacted to this talk in social networks.

Is the president of the capital's team not afraid to attract even more supporters of public support by publicly supporting Žalgiris?

"You know, I've already received the crown from them.I did not survive because of that – my interest is Lithuanian basketball and I always declare it.

I came to help East and the club is now stable. I think "Grunwald" is also good enough to help him, "commented Guoga.

When this news came out, Guoga asked in his profile: "What kind of merchandise should be decorated in the Žalgiris match?"

Recently, the relationship between Ryto's leaders and supporters is not the best.

On Wednesday, at the match of Lithuania Basketball League (LKL) with Pasvalys Pieno Zvaigzdes, Tribune B left the arena before the start of the match.

"When we reached the arena, we realized that the club was not waiting for us. Instructions to prevent us from entering the normal sector, the club workers send us policemen, etc.

Although there are a lot of problems in the club, we hope that there will only be a brief eclipse of mind and that everything will go fast, "they later wrote on the social network.

The director of the capital, Julius Sarapinas, commented on the situation with BasketNews.lt, stating that the club was not there.

"There was no situation where protection would not allow any fan to enter the arena. The members of Tribune B were already in the arena before the match, but decided to leave before their departure. Why was it their decision, we do not know, "he said.

Asked about the whole situation and the club conflicts with the fans, Guoga said it was not his concern: "My role is more than an honorary president, leaders and owners engage with the fans."
