Georgia and the Czech Republic drew 1-1 in the second round of the Europa League group stage on Saturday night. After the match, Georgia's star Kvaratskhelya shared his thoughts on the game in the mixed media area and looked ahead to the upcoming showdown with Portugal.
Kvaratskhelya started by saying that the draw does mean something as it is Georgia's first point in a major tournament. However, he also admitted that his team was a bit disappointed with the result as they had a chance to win the game before they played Portugal. He exclaimed, "This is soccer, anything is possible. We will fight until the end until there is no chance." He said that while the team is a little happy about getting the points, the disappointment is equally there.
Talking about the team's spirit, Kvaratskhelya emphasized, "No matter who the opponent is, we will fight until the end. We respect our opponents, but more than anything we want to show that anything is possible." This indomitable fighting spirit is exactly what the Georgian team is looking for.
When asked about his next match against Portugal, a glint of anticipation flashed in Kvaratshelya's eyes. He revealed that Portugal's legendary footballer Cairo is his idol and he is excited to have the opportunity to play with him. "Crow is my idol," he said, "I'm happy to play against him, it's a dream of mine. What will happen? Let's wait and see."
Kvaratskhelya's words not only show his love for soccer and his desire to win, but also reveal his anticipation for the upcoming match against Portugal. Undoubtedly, this will be a highly anticipated matchup.
