Georgia loves football more than this sport deserves from the Georgian people.

European tournaments have just started but unfortunately, they have already finished for us. Now we are waiting for the next summer with new hopes and new expectations… However, many years have passed in expectations and hopes.

This year’s European tournaments showed us we could beat neither “Gabala” nor “Botosani”…

4 Georgian clubs which could not overcome the first obstacle – it is a reality.

In 2011 two Georgian clubs overcame two obstacles at Europa League. “Dinamo” and “Zestafoni” managed to defeat “Karpaty” and “Sturm”. We achieved more success in 2012. “Dinamo” and “Zestafoni” were one step away from Europa League group stage. “Metalurgi” Rustavi which does not exist now overcame two rounds and in the third round the Georgian club failed to “Rennais” of France.

In 2013 “Dila” Gori made through to playoff and in the third round the Georgian club won over “Anorthosis. In 2014 “Dila” went through to playoff again but this time the club lost to “Rapid” Vienna. “Dinamo” Tbilisi also made through to playoff and faced “Tottenham” London.

A year ago “Chikhura” Sachkhere overcame two rounds and played “Neftchi” Baku. Before that “Chikhura” defeated Turkey’s “Bursaspor”.

It was in the past and it does not matter now. Present is important now.

Yes, it is hard to build a new club once every six months, especially when you do not have enough budget but you must love your job. This year our clubs scored only one goal in four matches.

Besides that, we must learn how to support our clubs!

What happened during “Dila”-“Partizan” match is not worth writing. Unfortunately, it has a bad effect on the reputation of our country. Yes, fans are very disappointed with so many failures but nothing will be done with insulting our players on the field. We must find a way-out.

Now a new season will start, then summer will come and we will be back to European tournaments with new hopes and new expectations…
