Georgian national team’s head coach Vladimir Weiss frankly spoke at the press conference.
Georgia – Kazakhstan on March 29, 21:00, “Dinamo Arena” – here will take place his debut.
Impressions of the week: “A week later, I will say that the players are talented, but we have to protect the balance of the team. Playing good in the friendly matches is important in order to move it in qualifying circle”.
Tactics: “Every coach has his own vision. There is more chance to win in offensive football. Generally, I often change tactics during the game. It depends on how the players are ready for the meeting. I will not hide that some players are not 100 % ready. For example Levan Mchedlidze, because he has a few playing time in “Empoli”. My goal is to find place for everyone in the system.”
Rearrange the players: “Universalism is one of the important factors of football. It is good, when a player can play at different positions and it is good that such players are in the national team. For example Vako Kazaishvili, Jano Ananidze and Tornike Okriashvili. Hopefully, it will be lucky pen, with which I write the composition for the match against Kazakhstan.”
Ananidze’s position: “Tskhadadze played with three central defenders, Ananidze was a pillar and Jaba Kankava backed him in midfield. Jano played well against Scotland, but I see him in attack. I think, Ananidze did not show his potential, because of frequent injuries and rarely played for the club. I hope he will play better and make fans happy”.
Those who stayed beyond the team: “I did not close the door for anyone. I do not care age when the case is about a good player.”
How envisioned team against Spain, if tomorrow Spain is rival, instead of Kazakhstan: “When you play Spain, special attention should be devoted to midfield. We would try to keep the ball. As Spaniards, as well as the Georgians love to carry ball. They are similar in this. Sometimes it is good, sometimes – too bad. I’ll definitely put Mchedlidze against Spain, because he is the holder forward. Even so, it is too early to speak about Spain. I think only about Kazakhstan”.
About Kazakhstan team: “They played well against Azerbaijan and could win 3:0. I was not surprised by their victory, because I see that football is progressing there. I spent three wonderful seasons in “Kairat” Kazakhstan and always will warmly remember it. Well, as I know the Kazakh football, so they know me, so I cannot say that any team will have the advantage in terms of awareness”.
About promoted players from U-21: “We took Lasha Dvali, Giorgi Aburjania and Nika Kacharava. They have resources to firmly set themselves in the team. Two of them will be in lineup in the match against Kazakhstan”.
“Thank you for the interesting and business questions” - Weiss praised journalists.
