Tornike Tarkhnishvili, midfielder of Latvian “Ventspils”, stated in an interview with the official website of the club that he needs more creativity on the field.

- You celebrated the first match at the championship with goal…

- It is very good to score goal in the first match. The most important is that “Ventspils” won the match. Our team won and I scored.

- You scored goal like Georgia – technically. Everybody watched it and was pleased. How did you remember this episode?

- Edik Sukhanov gave me a perfect assist. Such assists are made in England and Spain.

- What is your impression after the first match?

- I am sure “Ventspils” deservedly won this match. We wanted to win at the start. We played well, controlled the ball and had many goal moments. We could have done more. I think, the football players carried out all instructions of the coach. Of course, it was not ideal but in my opinion, we played well.

- You played well but it is not what you can do. Am I wrong?

- No, it is true. I must distinguish myself at each practice. I must do my best not for myself but for the team. It is important.

- At the press conference Jurgis Pucinsks, head coach of the team, mentioned he expects more creativity from you…

- It is right. I play on such position which demands more creativity. A lot of fantasy and nonstandard decisions are necessary. It is important for our forwards. I must work on it.

- How did you like atmosphere on tribunes in two home matches?

- I liked it a lot. I think the atmosphere will be better on the main stadium. Well done, fans.

- I think, you got used to the team easily…

- Yes, I did. The boys are great. I do not feel like legionary. The coaches help and support me. They give me useful advices.

- Do you like the city?

- Ventspils is a calm and cozy city. The boys told me Ventspils is great in summer. I just have to wait for summer.

- I can imagine how difficult it is to bear current spring for the Georgian who loves warmth…

- If 5 degree will be regularly, it is almost happiness!

- Have you passed adaptation easily?

- I think I am fully adapted. I know what the coach wants from me and I must work more.

- In the next round “Ventspils” will play against current champion “Daugava”. It will be an interesting team…

- It will be a tough and interesting match. I do not know what will happen but I believe we will do our best for each victory. Of course, “Ventspils” wants to win.

- In case of victory you will overcome the champion with 5 points. It is a great stimulus…

- Yes, but I think we must not think about it. We must show our football and beat one of the main opponents.
