General
PARTNER IN DEFENCE
He enjoys the interaction with his partner in defence at Dinamo Riga, Sandis Ozolins. "Sandis is one of the best players I've played with. It's very easy to play alongside him. In the past he was more aggressive and I had to cover him more, but now we read each other well. I can attack and he provides protection, and vice versa." (kasjauns.lv, 02 Sep 2013)
