"I grew up so that my mom had never attended the match with my participation here, and she is here today. It is a sad day, I say goodbye to football. But I am very proud. I want to thank all of you. Today I again saw that Georgian people love me "-cried Kakha Kaladze and in his place only people without any emotions could keep from tears.
When 55000 fans chant your name, stars of world level hug you, it is very difficult to control emotions... The youngest son of Kaladze also cried but he was crying due to a lot of noise.
It was a day of Kaladze. The trophy-winning football player of all time, Georgian player who has been a figure in the "Milan". He has twice won the Champions League. Georgian fan recognized him at the stadium, it was here that he neitralizoval the terrible, Vieri played a great role in its move to Dynamo Kiev. And then there was the "Milan"-the peak of his career!
We will not enumerate those regalia players who have had the honor and played in the Kakha farewell match. Their names speak about much.
After Bera's song went to the players of “Dinamo Arena” crowded with loud applause. Kaladze played for each command by halftime, and he was replaced at the last minute--he ran the circle of honor.
During the break before the public was "Erisioni". Overall, the evening was well organized.
As for the game itself, the teams did not enter the field of just having some fun and, as is often the case, did not tried to give each friend to score to end the match in a draw.
Shota Arveladze scored a fast ball but with explicit off side position. And the score was opened by Georgi Demetradze , he scored a penalty kick.
The first 40-minute halftime ended 1: 0 in the second and AC Milan scored 3 goals. First, Filippo Inzaghi gained the right to penalty kicks and converted it himself, then the legendary Ukrainian Andrey Shevchenko hit accurately from a distance of 13-14 meters and a third goal from the middle distance the eminent defender scored Sampdoria, 54-year-old Pietro Vierchowod.
Played perfectly in defense of Fabio Cannavaro, reliably defended the whole game and Paolo Maldini, "Sheva" arranged a few rapid raids into his style, Luca Toni also strongly tried to stand out.
We saw on the field almost all the best players in the history of independent Georgia-you can see that some are already out of shape, overweight, but have seen their game still was nice. Because the score in this match was not the Chief.
Friends-Mujiri, Demetradze, Zamtaradze, Iashvili, Tskitishvili and Sturua dedicated Kaladze song.
