“Dila Gori finishes the Turkish meeting and returns to Georgia. The team held 4 test-matches and will not play till 18 July. On 18 July the team of Giorgi Devdariani will host Danish “Aalborg” in the first match of the second qualifying stage of Europa League. “World Sport” contacted Devdariani in Turkey.

- We had good conditions. It would have been better if we had had stronger sparring opponents. Overall, we had good meeting with “Chikhura”. It was worse with “Dinamo” Tbilisi.

- We watched the video of the match against “Simurq”. You had advantage in both matches. You were winning in both cases and finally, played draw. What was the reason?

- Tiredness. It was the main reason. We won the last match over Turkish club 3:1 but refereeing was bad. Generally, I do not want to talk about referees. Overall I am not dissatisfied with my team’s play. But if it will be enough against “Aalborg”, let us see.

- Have you added any player? Or has anyone left the team?

- No, nobody joined or left us but it is bad that I do not know which player leaves us.

- Have not they had contract?

- Yes, they have but there is written that if foreign club shows up, “Dila” will not prevent them.

- “Dila” can offer new contract to the players…

- Yes, it offers but this contract cannot make the players refuse offers from abroad.

- Will anyone leave the team before the match against “Aalborg”?

- I hope it will not happen.

- Do you have replacements of lineup? Is there a good reserve on the team?

- Quite good.  We held the second match against “Simurq” with the second team but the boys showed such a good game that I was happy.

- Aladashvili and Gongadze – they are right defenders and are one of the best on this position in Georgia. What decision will you make?

- At first I put Gongadze as a left defender. Then, Guruli played on this position and he justified my hopes. Perhaps, Aladashvili will leave the team. Hopefully, he will not leave before the match against “Aalborg”.

- Is Revishvili on good form?

- He played well especially against the Turkish teams.

- Have you watched the video of “Aalborg” matches?

- We sent a person to shoot friendly matches but he was not let in.
