After the match between Georgian and Macedonia, the Georgians were congratulating each other and Macedonians were extremely depressed.

Igor Kokoskov: “It is very important victory for the Georgian national team. Before the match, we had a simple situation. We were losing and going home or winning and continuing fight. I am glad we dealt with this challenge. I hope the Georgian team shows even better result in the next matches. Our last opponent Croatia is a strong team, however, with this enthusiasm it is possible to think about success”.

Tornike Shengelia: “After three failures, we won and are very happy. We really had not way back. We have realized the target”.

Zaza Pachulia: “The whole team played well. I would like to thank all the members of the team. Finally, we played properly in defense. The personal statistics does not mean anything for me. If the partners do not help, no matter how powerful you are, you cannot achieve success alone”.

Manuchar Markoishvili: “Finally, the Georgian team was able to reveal its potential. Such organization provides true confidence. The team is very motivated and I hope we will get though to the next stage. I ask everyone to support us in the crucial moment”.

Marijan Srbinovski: “I congratulate the Georgian team deserved victory. My team was unprepared to win the decisive match. The opponent was much better. We could not stop Markoishvili and Pachulia. Psychological pressure just destroyed us. I hope, we will use the remaining chance in the match against Slovenia”.

Vlado Ilievski: “I congratulate the Georgian players. They played great and just destroyed us”.
