Finland-Georgia 1:1. Everyone agrees that Georgia had to win this match. At the beginning of the second time national team scored a goal, soon Finn Alexey Eriomenko was sent off and in spite of this soon the goal was scored against Georgians.
“World Sport” has connected to Gia Guruli the current manager of “Dinamo” Batumi and former player of Georgian national team:
- Supposedly you think that it was disappointing draw. What about the yesterday’s match?
- Yes, we would win this match. Unfortunately, Khizanishvili made mistake and that’s why we could not blame Revishvili. If Zura stood usually as he does nothing would happen. As for Revishvili, it is said that a goalkeeper must parry out the ball from near corner but it is also worth mentioning that Finn was face to face him. In such occasion it is difficult to save the situation.
- But, after 1:1 there was left approximately half and hour. There was enough time to score goal against ten-man Finn team. What about this half and hour?
- We had superiority when the teams were 11 against 11 and we had to use number superiority. I think they should be more concentrated. The ball was lost many times, assists were not exact.  There was not need to hurry up so much. I will name one example: during contra-attack Targamadze made a bad assist. In fact, an ideal goal moment was failed. When you make the last assist, you should be put the whole mastership and concentration in it.  It is true that it was before the goal, but this moment worth to mention.
- What about substitutions? Were they efficient?
- I saw that Finn manager managed to rearrange the team. Ours might believe in victory prematurely. It would be better to substitute forward with forward.  I know how Devdariani plays, he is not a striker, he is a midfielder and what Mchedlidze was doing he would not manage to do it in front. Forward disturbs defender and in such case zones got free for other strikers. In a word, I am disappointed due to this failure.
