As far as you know, on November 13-18 the 11th group matches of I qualifying European Championship of U-19 team will be held. Georgia, Netherlands, Wales and Moldova are in the group. The team of Vasil Maisuradze started meetings on November 4 and hold the open practice at the technical center “Basa”.
The team of Maisuradze is not assembled till the end yet, because the players of “Torpedo” and “Dila” are missing.
Vasil Maisuradze: - The only problem is that we are waiting players from “Torpedo” and “Dila”. We have not the final list yet, we will decide it in the coming days.
- When will these players be in place and why failed their coming to the team?
- The clubs did not allow them, because still is Championship rounds. We could not do anything in this case. They will be here on November 9, but restoration and accustom needs another day.
- What information do you have about opponents?
- The Netherlands is the most powerful rival. Unfortunately, we do not have any video material about the team of Wales. Even they did not send the tape, or it has not come to us. The fact is that, we do not have the tape.
- The core of this team, born in 1995, you led out in the semifinal of European Championship of U-17 last year. Accordingly, we are waiting a lot this time too.
- I do not want boys to come under unnecessary pressure. They will play and conclude everything. I do not want to tense them about to win over the Netherlands necessarily. However, we will play under the 1st number against Moldova and Wales.
- You have not only born in 1995 in the team, but also juniors.
- Yes, Kerdzevadze, Zarandia, Tevzadze and Tabidze are born in 1996. Two goalkeepers of three are born in 1997: Goshadze and Kurdadze.
- Does Lasha Dvali has trauma?
- Yes. Dvali and Akaki Shulaia are injured and that’s why they are not in the list.
- Enrolment of Aleko Chakvetadze in PAOK is almost decided. He is born in 1995 and is not in your list.
- The case of Chakvetadze is resolving now, that’s why I did not interfere at this stage. We know his possibilities, we had him in the team early and the chance will be given in the future.
