Kazakh defender Dinmukhamed Kashken, after moving to Zalgiris, spoke about his goals in an interview with the press service of the Lithuanian club, and also named his strengths, expressing his readiness to be useful in a new place.
It is noted that interest in the Lithuanian Championship among Kazakhstanis is caused by the figure of Vladimir Cheburin, who has been successfully working in this country for many years. In addition, the feedback from Lithuanians playing in the KPL (Arturas Zhulpa, with whom Kashken played in Aktobe), prompted the Kazakhs to take a closer look at Lithuania.

He gave me good reviews about Vilnius and Zalgiris. "I've been here for a few days now and for me it's a very beautiful city. I moved to Zalgiris because it's the best club in Lithuania that plays in the Champions League. It's very important for me to be able to play in Europe, to progress," he said. Kashken.
The 22-year-old spoke about his position on the pitch: "I usually play as a central defender, but I can also play on the left or right wing. My strengths are top-mounted combat, physical strength and the first pass."
During his short career, he has already managed to try his hand in Spain and change teams in his homeland. "I spent a year at the Atlético Madrid academy. At the age of 19, I moved to another Spanish club called Casablanca, which played in Spain's elite U-19 youth league. In Kazakhstan, I played in Aktobe, then in "Kaisar", - emphasized the defender of the national team of Kazakhstan.
Although he arrived in Vilnius after the start of the season, the player noted that he prepared for the winter training camp: "I was preparing for the season with Shakhtar from Karaganda. I played in four test matches. Everything is in order, I do not complain about injuries. I'm ready to play" , he said.
