Levan Mchedlidze 21-year-old forward of Italian “Empole” is again in national team. As far as you know, Levan had debut in “Crusandars” at the age of 17. After scoring goal against Scotland it seemed that he would be one of the favorites of the team. But lack of practice, injuries…
On Monday in the morning Levan came to technical centre “Basa” and gave an interview to “World Sport”:
- Supposedly, it is not necessary to ask what kind of feeling did you have when you were called for national team..
- It goes without saying that I was very happy.  Last time I played for national team three years ago. I missed it.
- What can you say about the upcoming match against Greece? There were several facts, when Georgian team was none-motivated but in spite of this beat opponent..
 - People need victory and that’s why any match is very important for national team, especially when we play against strong opponent. But it would be incorrect if I say that we will win in any case. We are not such strong yet and then future will show.
- Lately you play and supposedly you even do not want to remind the period when you suffered from injuries..
- I hope that injuries stayed in the past. I am in good physical condition for a long time.
- “Empole” started Serie A very bad..
- Yes, it did. Today in the morning I heard that head coach was released. Of course it is not pleasant, but it was logical: we lost matches in a row.
- “Empole” had the strongest staff in Serie B. why do not achieve your goal?
- Everyone mentions it. I hope we will improve situation. We can win any match in League.
Temur Kestbaia was asked about Mchedlidze at the press-conference and he answered the following:
 “Leavni would not play for U-21 national team in Georgia-Switzerland match due to two yellow cards. But in any case we were going to call him up. Just, at the beginning we wanted him to play for youth team and then to join national team after October 7”.
