At the post-match press conference Giorgi Devdariani, head coach of the Georgia U-19 team, noted his team played in the second half better than in the first one and highlighted his players are not ready physically.

Giorgi Devdariani: “The team held the second half better. After substitutions the team started playing better. The first goal had a bad effect on our team. We lacked concentration at the end of the match”.

- Would not it be better to make substitutions in the first half?

- We had a plan which did not work. We had to learn the opponent in the first half and to keep the net dry.

- What was the reason of lack of concentration at the end of the second half?

- I want to thank “Saburtalo”. 11 players from “Saburtalo” play for our team. However, “Saburtalo” plays in First League where the team holds 3-4 matches. If you attend the matches of “Saburtalo”, do you think it is possible to beat “Real” Madrid players? I could not have pretensions to the players. Our team lacks physical preparation and it is the reason for some mistakes.

- Is it tough to be motivated for the upcoming matches now?

- We often win after losing a match. Chanturia practiced one day but he plays in lineup of “Empoli” reserve team and I trusted him. Kerdzevadze plays for “Samtredia” and I trusted him too. The substitutes will be in lineup in the next match. We are not ready physically but we will do our best in the upcoming matches.

Luis de la Fuente, head coach of the Spain national team, stated victory over Georgia is the best news of the day for his team.

Luis de la Fuente: “I think today victory of our team is the best news for us. I want to note Georgia played better than us in the second half. However, our team won anyway. After the match I talked to the manager of the Georgia national team and thanked him for such a good match”.

- Can Portugal be your opponent?

- Now we only think about the match against Turkey. Portugal will not have an easy match against Georgia on Sunday.
