News about Levan Kenia is always interesting and when ‘Wolrd Sport” has connected him in Germany, it goes without saying that the first question was about his health condition. He has not played almost for two years and that’s why he is missing emotions, dribblings, assists, goals.. situation has not been changed: Levan Kenia (who is 177 cm instead of 174 now) has individual training again and supposedly will start training with the club in January.
There is information about Kenia’s transfer in “Dinamo’ Tbilisi and during the interview he was asked about it also. “I am very disappointed that Kaladze left national team. To my mind, Kaladze was the best football player in history of independent Georgia”-stated Kenia.
- Are you still having individual training in Dusseldorf?  Have you complicated your training?
- Yes, I have. Time by time I complicate my training and it becomes more and more intensive.  
- What procedures are ahead you before starting training with the club?
- I feel that I am not 100 5 ready, according to my condition I feel that it is still yearly. When you play football, you have to do your best during playing. Supposedly I will start training with “Schalke” in January and if I am not at the first meeting after ending it will join in any case.
- Has head coach - Hub Steevens talked to you?
- Now, very often I am with club. I cannot train with them, but I meet them. He contacts with me and knows almost everything about me. The main for me is to recover and in two months I will manage to be in perfect condition.
- What about “Dinamo” Tbilisi? Has anyone talked to you from authority of “Dinamo”?
- From the authority no one has talked to me. I heard about information that “Dinamo” is interested with me, but nothing concrete is known.
- As far as I know, Ukrainian clubs are also interested with you, are not they?
- My contract with “Schalke” expires at the end of season and nothing is known about prolongation. When I start playing then will have serious offers, but before it I belong to “Schalke”.
- So, it is decided that till summer you stay in “Schalke”?
- Yes, I will. Joining other club till summer is excluded. At the end of the interview Levan stated the following about Kakha Kaladze:” I am very disappointed. I am sure that it will reflect on national team. He is the best football player in history of independent Georgia. We played only 9-10 matches, but even one match is enough to see his class. I was 16-year-old, I was playing for Spanish youth team and when I was asked from where I was, after my answer they told that did not know anything about Georgia, but when I mentioned Kaladze, at once they understood, from where I was. Kakha is such authority and it goes without saying that I am very disappointed that he left national team”.
