Post-match press conference:

Aleksandre Chivadze: The only positive thing is that young players played in this match. I am not satisfied with the result.

- Playing quality was not good…

- You know the age teams have only two days for meeting. Dzalamidze and Arabuli joined us yesterday. They arrive two days earlier and we cannot check their physical conditions. We depend on their professionalism. Before the match I told them Luxembourg would play as No.2. When the football players are not physically ready, it is no use to talk about tactic.

- So, physical condition is the main problem?

- Some players did not have good physical conditions. We counted on Bachana Arabuli who had high temperature yesterday and could not play today. I talked to the football players and told them if they are not ready, they should not come here.

Reinhold Breu: “It was a very tough match. I am very happy. We had new players today. It was a good match. I am satisfied with the playing discipline of my team, especially in the first half when we scored goal and had a chance to score another one. Georgia is a good team. We make accent on team play. Overall, I am satisfied with my team. I always say referee is boss on the field and I will say the same now”.
