- Whom do you mean?
- I do not want to name them, others will be disappointed.
- What is your goal at European Championship?
- Our goal is a minimum, going through the next stage. Future will show everything.
- How do you think, which team is rival for Georgian National U-20 Team?
- Macedonia and Poland have quite strong teams, but I cannot say anything in advance. It is quite possible other teams to offer us surprises. If we take under our consideration that each member team holds five matches without resting, maybe physical readiness will play big role.
