Jaba Kankava:"Homeland is not Just a Word for Me"

 

The basic halfback of Dnepropetrovsk "Dnepr" in conversation with the Komanda newspaper declared that he is always ready for game in the national team of Georgia.

The victory in “Ilychevets” was more difficult, than with "Arsenal"?

— Certainly, to beat "Ilyichevets" moreover in his territory, it was difficult. “Ilychevets” good team, young... They played very diligently, secured each other at each opportunity. Therefore at them it is rather heavy to gain a ball. To embody our advantage in a goal, it happened to sweat fairly. Besides, now exit victories in the championship of Ukraine easily aren't given wherever it was necessary to play.

 — There was an impression that you personally played against Okriashvili, so often you to it had skirmishes...

— It is wrong to call it a skirmish. With Tornike I fought for the first time. He is a technical and very fast football player who is not easy to hold when his team runs in counterattack. But I consulted and didn't allow the compatriot to be developed according to the full program. And in general I want to notice that on the site I counteracted not only Okriashvili.

 — In both matches of the starting championship you won back full time. The trainer completely trusts you?

— If puts in "basis" and doesn't change, so counts on me. However I understand that I need to prove no matter what the right to a place in a starting lineup in each match. Now in "Dnepr" it is a very big competition.

Statistically, in each duel you steadily make six-seven fouls. The compelled risk?

— I don't consider the fouls. For me the main thing — to stop the opponent so that not to receive yellow or, than that is worse, a red card. While, thank God, I am possible to avoid punishment rather wanted to tell, not to provoke the referee, not to pass an admissible side.

 — Jaba how can you estimate your physical condition?

— Only the head coach has the right to do it. If Ramos has any remarks in my address or wishes, it always approaches during training and he explains everything in detail. Sometimes the instructor, depending on with whom we play, gives an individual task.

Some experts consider that quickly starting "Dnepr" won't have enough forces on all autumn distance of a season.

— I don't know why they speak so. We feel perfectly — feet run, the head works well so still is it necessary? And as far as forces will suffice us, depends, I think, only from us. Football — game which does not always come to an end logically, sometimes a miscellaneous happens. And as for our performance in the spring, in a failure we are guilty only. It is sure, that negative experience also is useful to us, believe, we drew appropriate conclusions.

- In the third round you hot “Zorya”, is the victory guaranteed for “Dnepr”?

-All of us will do his best, but it won't be easier to beat them. In spite of the fact that “Zorya”lost points in a house meeting, to my mind they will play well.

- Does the call from Georgian national team a stimulus for you?

- Can you tell me the player, who is not inspired to play for his national team? Homeland is not just a word for me. I am ready to arrive in Georgia on the first call.
