Georgia’s national team head coach Vladimir Weiss held a press conference before the forthcoming match against Serbia and talked about the meeting.

“We have not obtained the victory yet in the current qualifying tournament. The game quality was good and we deserved more, but unfortunately, we did not have the same result. The mood in the team is good, despite the fact that we lack Okriashvili, Mchedlidze and Daushvili.

Partsvania and Merebashvili – I keep an eye on both players. After when Partsvania will receive Georgian passport, I will observe him more. As for Merebashvili – at this point I did not have time for experiments. I trust all the players in the team and those who I tested so far in the friendly matches.

Some changes became necessary due to injuries of Mchedlidze and Okriashvili. That’s why we called up Lobzhanidze and Dvalishvili. We are working on two schemes: the old tactics and also on 3-4-3. As for the reason why Tugushi and Shergelashvili are not called up, at this point, I liked the young Jimi Tabidze and Rekhviashvili and both have been invited to the national team.

Of course, it is necessary to have a plan –B. we lack three leading players and a replacement will be necessary. I called up Giorgi Arabidze, who can play with Serbia, in any case, he will be given a chance against Latvia. Those 11 players, who will be ready to fight till the end for the victory, will show up on the field” – said Weiss.

The match between Georgia and Serbia will take place on March 24, “Dinamo Arena”, at 21:00.
