Levan Kenia: "Football Player Is Nothing without a Goal"

Kakha Tskhadadze had a debut in the Georgia national team and he is forming a new team. “World Sport” contacted Levan Kenia, midfielder of the Georgia national team and “Slavia” Prague, in Prague and talked to him about the previous two matches.

According to Kenia, the national team has a lot work to do and the Georgian players know it.

- Levan, how do you summarize the last two matches of the Georgia national team?

- Against Malta positively. We had advantage and controlled the ball. We played with fear against Germany. We had a different plan but the opponent was very tough. We must have played with more confidence. We made some mistakes in episodes but we must try to play right football. Nothing will be done without a try. Nobody was born a world champion. The Germans played incredible football.

- Did Georgia have a chance of positive outcome against Germany?

- It was tough because we did not play with confidence. When team is missing confidence, it is tough to achieve success. I mean confidence in offence. We did our best in defence.

- What can you say about new head coach Kakha Tskhadadze?

- In my opinion he wants to play right football. We have a lot work to do and we know it.

- Levan, you showed up in the second halves against Malta and Germany. How do you summarize your play?

- I would estimate normally. I made some mistakes but I have already said we have a lot work to do.

- The current qualifying round has practically finished for our national team. What will be our goal in the remaining matches?

- Of course victory.

- Is Georgia able to play at the 2018 World Cup?

- It is a tough question. Our goal must be to win all matches. I think football player is nothing without a goal.

- What do you think about pitch invasion by 7 fans…

- First of all, I want to thank fans. As for the pitch invasion, I cannot say much. Hopefully, we will not have to play in front of empty tribunes.

- “Slavia” is a team with great traditions in Czech Republic. However, the club does not play well this year. What is it caused by?

- We held last matches badly. Now we must earn maximum points in the remaining matches.

- Do you have suggestions from other clubs?

- No, I do not.

- What did you say to Manuel Neuer during Georgia-Germany match?

- Nothing special.
