Do you remember the final scene of "The first swallow"? when  our players defeated by the English were singing "Aba, Ula". There is some hope, in spite of the failure in this scene. But as for "Dinamo Arena", the fans leaving it were very depressed. They could not look at the champion of Georgia which ashamed with the English in an optimistic way.

Something unexpected happened? supposedly, no- this summer we have written several times that there were big problems in selection and adaption of the staff in "Dinamo". it was evident with middle class "Styua" too as well as in the first two rounds of championship, where the champions were lucky with "Zestafoni" and "Dila", in other way they would not get any points.

There is no combination, Xisco was not impressive that's why was substituted in the first half with Vuovo, who also did not do something special.

Vilas-Boas did not use any football player of the national team. He did not take Lennon and Defoe due to "mystical traumas" in Tbilisi and did not let play the right defender Kayl Walker too. In the Premier League in difference of the match with "Crystal Palace", there was not Belgian Yan  Jan Vertonghen too. As for "Dinamo", in fact it played with an optimal staff. At the beginning they offered the rival pressing and seemed determined, but soon the difference between the class was evident. The English soon calmed down the match and at the 13th minute scored the first goal. "Dinamo" was busy in attack  and as a result the rival managed to make a contra-attack. 22-year-old Andros Thousand, ran almost the half of the field and did not leave any chance to Loria from - 1:0. After that the guests kept the advantages and at the 44th minute they scored the second goal. Thounsand (he was the best in "Tottenham") assisted from the right wing of the field and Brazilian new-comer Paulinho scored a goal. Ours also had one moment, when Kvirkvelia assisted from the left wing and Dvali who was standing the goal kicked the ball with head, but French goalkeeper of the guests Hugo Loris managed to save.

Describing the second half does not have any meaning. We have not seen such miserable "Dinamo" for a long time, as for "Tottenham"... they were playing as they liked to. And it seemed that they were playing with half power.
