After the voting of the European elite round 2014 among U-17 football players, Nodar Akobia, head coach of the Georgian team, said to “World Sport” that they faced strong opponents.

Nodar Akobia: “Every opponent in the group is strong. We have very notable opponents. The game can be with everyone. Mobilization and good preparation is necessary. We must learn their play and the build our tactics on it. Germany is a favorite of both tactically and physically. Germany will be such level team as Netherlands, to whom we played in Tbilisi at the qualifying stage. Have you seen a weak team of Serbia? Moreover, they play at home. I do not only know Ireland from the opponents, and about Germany and Serbia I have an idea”.
