Davit Mtivlishvili, right defender of the Georgian U-19 team, mentioned in conversation with the official website of UEFA that his team played weakly against Serbia and the Balkans deserved this victory.

"Our attack was non-existent today. The Serbian players are very physically strong and it was a difficult game. Now myself and all my team-mates are very sad, but we still have one more game to play and we need to improve."

Mtivlishvili talked about European U-19 Championship:

“It is a wonderful tournament and it is very important, not only for our team and the federation, but also for our country and our people, because in Georgia people are crazy for football. Of course we wanted to play better, but unfortunately we have not managed that. We have made too many mistakes."

Mtivlishvili hopes that this experience will help him develop into a good player at his club:

"After playing at this tournament I have an even bigger motivation to work and train harder. I am looking forward to returning to Georgia to do my best in trying to develop into a good player at my club”.

Georgia-Turkey, like Serbia-France, will start at 17:30 Tbilisi time on 26 July.
