On November 11at 11:00 Temur Ketsbia a head coach of Georgian National Team held a press-conference at “Bomond Garden” Hotel.” Status of the match against Slovenia is friendly and it is good, because I have chance of making experiment, but it does not mean that result is secondary. We will fight for positive result”-stated ketsbaia.
As far as it is known the match between Georgia and Slovenia is held on November 17 at 23:45 Tbilisi time. It is not decided yet if Public Broadcasting will offer Live of this match.
- What is your aim against Slovenia?
- Our aim is that, I called up those players who have never played in National Team. I pay big attention to players from Georgian Championship. Obviously there is not good situation in championship and clubs have several difficulties, but it does not mean that players will not be paid attention. It is easier to make experiments in friendly match than in official match. I will be glad if new players will be distinguished in this match.
- Are you going to make experiments in tactic?
- No, I am not. Nothing will be changed.
- Is everyone from called up 30 players in good condition?
- At 12:00 o’clock very players from Georgian clubs will be here and as for legionaries, as far as I know all of tem are in good condition.
- How many players leave for Slovenia?
- I do not know yet, but 18 players are in match list. As a rule, changed in friendly match are more than 3 and I will use it.
- You called up Devdariani twice and in both case he suffered from injury, but now he is in good condition and you have not called him up…
- Once and forever it must be decided who is ready for playing in national team and who is not. It does not touch only Devdarian. I call up player, at the beginning they say that he suffers from injury and before the match we are informed that he is in good condition and can come in some days. What shall I do in such case? I have to refuse player who is already called up?
- Are there any players who avoid from playing in National Team?
- I do not say that they avoid from playing in National Team. Just it is unexplainable situation. The player which is called up has to arrive and we will decide is he ready for playing or not. We do not want to make some problems to playing and always take their clubs’ interests in our consideration. Their success in clubs is success for National Team also.
- How you estimate Slovenian National Team?
- It is good team, they played in World Championship. I know that they seriously prepare for this match and they will use the strongest staff. In spite of this, I make experiments and will pay attention to result.
-Have Gocha Khojava’s passport problems solved?
- I hope it will be solved. Khojava is in Tbilisi but as we are informed he feels bad and maybe he will not be ready for playing.
- How much profitable is match against Luxemburg on February 9? There is match against Croatia on March 26 and there is big difference between Croatia and Luxemburg.
- We are not Argentine National Team to play against those teams which we want. We agreed with Luxemburg but it is not decided yet of holding this match. I also wanted to have better opponent before the match against Croatia, there was one version of Argentine team, but they demanded such conditions that… there is long time period between these two matches, so the match against Luxemburg will not be preparation for Croatia.
- Have you talked with Jaba Kankava? He suffered serious injuries and treated much. Is he ready for playing?
- Jaba is in 18-man squid or plays in doubles of “Dnypro”. He does not suffer from injury as he said he suffers some little pains. It is not surprising, he was operated three times. It is pleasant that Kankava is back in National Team.
- What is better position for Ananidze, wing or centre?
- Jano can play in several positions. He will play where we will be necessary.
- What is the best position for him?
- There, where he plays in National Team.
