Roman Pipia:“It is a very important day for “Dinamo” as well as for whole Georgian football, because these Spanish players joined us. I hope that they will strengthen “Dinamo” Tbilisi. We chose fast tactic. New head coach trains the club according to “Barcelona” methods. I hope that this method will bring success to “Dinamo” Tbilisi.
Zurab Pololikashvili:“I hear very often that none normal player will come in Georgia for playing football. A lot of Georgian players who play abroad disappointed us and did not join “Dinamo” Tbilisi. But it also has its own reasons. They have long-term agreements with their clubs. At the same time I and club’s president work with other clubs. We chose Spanish players. We waited for head coach to see what positions need to be strengthened and after that we offered agreements to Spanish players. Three of them will sign two-year agreement with the club. Playing itself shows how they will strengthen the club. They have not registered yet and that’s why they They will not participate in I qualifying match of European League against “Milsamis” of Moldova. I wish new players good luck with “Dinamo”. They have worked with Garcia head coach of “Dinamo” and adaptation will be easier for them. Personally they are good people and I hope that they will make friends with Georgian players during two years and will succeed together. “Dinamo” is a new team. The current staff was formed for several weeks and players need some time for adaptation”.
After that Pololikashvili and Pipia gave tee-shirts to Spanish player. Later Pipia left the hall and Spanish players made comments.
Albert Yague: “I am here for three days and I like being here very much. I am satisfied with an atmosphere in the club. I hope that my friends will adapt soon and we will celebrate victory tonight”.
Xisco Munoz: I would like to thank Zura, the club’s president and staff. I hope that soon we will gain international success”.
- Why did you decide to come in Georgia?
Xisco:“Dinamo” is a very successful club. This project was attractive for me, what is being fulfilled in the club. I hope that we will justify hopes of these people and will attract fans also”.
- Do not you think that changing Spanish Primera Division to Georgian championship is regress?
Xisco: “I do not think so. I won everything in Spain what was possible to win. I think that I can develop as person and as a player in Georgia.
- Have you ever heard anything about Georgian championship before? Do you know that Shota Arveladze was playing for “Levante” like you?
Xisco: “I do not know Shota, because we were not playing at the same time. I love football. I arrived in Georgia because I want to become champion”.
