In the evening of his farewell match of former Dynamo Kiev defender and Italian Club Milan Kakha Kaladze gave the exclusive interview to Ukrainian newspaper “The Komanda”.

"Always strived to go further"

-Kakha, it seems it was all still recently: our very modest early you arrived to conquer Kiev where you invited Lobanovsky. And Provo-DITE farewell match. You are completely happy with how evolved your football career?

Now, turning around the backside, the nearly 20 years that I played football at a high level, I can say that I have no reason to be dissatisfied. Football is a sport in which the rum you can always get more than you have. I always tried to move further and further away and made what has become the most successful player of my country. I acted for the great Italian team AC Milan won the title, receiving a loud graal-shaft in many fights to SA-IOM high level and very proud of it. For example, the final match in the Champions League against “Juventus” I still remember in detail. And many of those memorable games ...

— Without which or without whom you would not have become who you are today?

I think I would have nothing to-Stig without love for football and for sport, without the hard work and good luck. Also, I always help my family's love and a hard working.

— You're lucky to work with many fine coaches in MI. Who is the top-left an appreciable trace in most career?

-I am with thanks and the support of all the coaches who have ever trained me, who taught me the basics of foot patients still in childhood, and those specialists, under whom I worked in the adult football. The first gave the basis that could develop later in Tbilisi "Dinamo" and, of course, in Kiev. A special coach and the overall teacher in the fullest sense of the word to me was of stalwarts Valery Vasilyevich Lobanovskiy. Working with him, I am the Stig and the level that allowed me later to go to Milan. There've been very interested to expand their potential, led by Fatih Terim and Carlo Ancelotti.

Both managed to attract the attention of Valery Lobanovsky, remember? Where is it you noticed?

-As far as I remember, re-šaûŝim point which persuaded Valery Vasilyevich invite me in Kiev, became my game in the national team of Georgia with the Italians. We parted in Tbilisi with rival e-rum-0: 0. Shortly thereafter he could fulfill my transfer to Ukraine.

"My business" got soundly

— That means to you the farewell match? Was it difficult to organize such match?

— First of all, for me, its a chance to see this level of their ex-partners, friends, rivals and coaches, which have spent a large part of his life. And another is to pay tribute to the cause which rum served. Finally, I shook the debt of the fans — long Ho-Tel held in Tbilisi is the nickname of this level. Was it difficult to bring the stars of Maldini and Fabio Cannavaro? Not many of these guys are my friends and willingly took the invitation.

Why was able to organize a farewell match just now, not last year, when you're officially finished the speech?

 — At first we do spend is the match in September 2012. But, as you may remember, was preparing for the Parliament of Georgia's elections and I was in the opposition, koali is part of the future regime. Me as a political opponent to shut down access to the Central Stadium. That's when I promised the fans that we are sure to defeat opponents of Dim in an election, and then in the spring I will host the match. In addition to the tangible version is PL-plus — on the field along with me will be my friend Georgi Demetradze,  who was arrested for some time.

"We know that power last year you carried out any obstacles and in addition to the prohibition to speak at the main stadium in the country. They arrested your bank accounts and ban, property ... And, despite all this, you are not getting frustrated? They didn't want to go back to the example of Italy?

— After I officially ­ designed opposed Saakashvili's regime, MA my bizne ­ sous in Georgia got really hard. Darker said, for me it is not a reason to stop conciliating curl and cease to fight against evil. Made during the conduct of its forces and what does MI-same problems as mine, are concerned about tens of thousands of people in Georgia who does poveri in our common cause against power and retain hope that we are able to change the suture the future. This belief, Liu ­ ­ bov′ my people support me, and have no day ­ or ­ bizne gami spoiled this relationship could not break com ­ you can.

— That proved harder — win the election or step to the real work of the Ministry, without actually having to do this?

Is the incomparably. Both are difficult but interesting. Since childhood I am used to a PE of ED and move towards its achievement. And the spores of those in work, and in politics.

Many famous Ukrainian athletes also go into politics. Was not a great deal of experience and at Andriy Shevchenko. Have you ever had a role model?

No, among athletes, politicians of such people. But as a general model for less than GE policies is our Prime Minister Bidzina Ivanishvili.

«...And we found ourselves in the darkness»

Despite employment, are you able to keep fit?

For the six months that I work for myself, in the Cabinet, would be in the days and weeks when not only failed to hold training sessions for children, calling it, but I had to sleep easily. Of course, I try to play football with my friends, go to the gym, but the time has vykrai ­ to or in the early morning or late at night, when normal people are sleeping (smiles).

— In your work, not the Mainland without incidents. So, in one of the first meetings, held under the chairmanship of PWM in VA mini-sterstve energy, the building of the Institute was gone ... Electic ­. Funny ...

— Remember this history of r(t) with a smile. Case: this was the first or second day of the WTO of my work in the post of Minister of energy, I was taking the delegation in his Office, and someone mistakenly or unknowingly messed up the switches in the building. We had the time of darkness. After two or three minutes, but it was all really funny. Néoux-divitel′no, the story of La Popa in the newspaper ...

-Apart from the fact that you are a senior ranks of Nick, you're still a father. The eldest son was named after his you-go dead brother Levan, and the youngest (he's now year) was given the name Kakhaber. Are you able to find the time for them?

— My family for me is the main thing in life. If someone says that he has no time for a loved one, a Sun-powered children, then all the things that he does not make much sense.

— As a young leaf of the gym, you have been dreaming of winning the Champions League, the other major trophies. What you face now?

Is a good question, but I'm on it of vichu briefly. I dream that came true Georgian dream.

Of course, I am proud that for years protected the CEE is against Georgia, was her captain. The only regret in my foot-sore career due to the fact that the national team has been unable to take part in a major tournament. No fate ... And, of course, the heartache is given two bow in one match (with the Italian national team in 2009).

...their projects

-I try to help the players in lodym, whether on our country. Even before the robust power of Yes I wanted to pop in to give the sports school in Tbilisi, but negotiations with the city administration have ended without the rezul′tatno, I do not have the land for construction.

But I do hope that your going to get. I have a new project: want to tile two of sports schools in his native St ­ kind Samtredia. They will be European level and, importantly, free of charge.

-Why did you become a politician?

-I won all in sport — and as a football player has exhausted their abilities. In addition, I told myself that coaching career is not for me.

As for my work to secure political, less than GE has pushed to the decisive action of the commitment to the situation in our country in past years. When I returned to Tbilisi and Bidzina Ivanishvili invited me to his team, I am much overplayed in the actions of Saakashvili.
