Georgian national team continues preparing for Euro qualifying match against Malta. This match will be held on October 8. Like previous days, Temur Ketsbaia trained the team at "Mikheil Meskhi" stadium today. Training started at 17:00 and lasted more than an hour. All players participated in training. Aleksandre Iashvili who had muscle problem was among them.
"Squares", shots in goals, assists and two-goal on half stadium - in spite of rainy weather, training was interesting and intensive. Ketsbaia reproved and praised boys.
As for two-goal, teams played with the following staff:
I team: Revishvili - Salukvadze, Asatiani, Amisulashvili, Kaladze - Daushvili, Ananidze, Koshkadze, Klimiashvili - Iashvili, Siradze.
II team: Loria - Kvekveskiri, Lobjanidze, Kakubava, Kvirkvelia - Kobiashvili, Khizanishvili, Gogua, Merebashvili - Dvalishvili, Gelashvili.
It is difficult to guess who will play in the main staff. But one thing is noticeable. Goalkeepers and defenders were in the 1st team, midfielders and forwards were in the 2nd one.
Though, on October 7, main staff of Temur Ketsbaia will be found out - on Thursday Georgians training will start at "National" stadium at 19:00.
End of today's match was good: Ketsbaia put 8 balls on penalty spot and all three goalkeepers (Revishvili, Loria, Kvaskhvadze) had to parry his kicks.
After the training, Lado Dvalishvili, forward of "Maccabi" Haifa, talked to "World Sport":
- Are you ready for the match against Malta?
- I am preparing and I hope, I will show it on the field. We will do our best to take 3 points.
- Perhaps, you also want to score a goal.
- I will try. The most important is to win the match.
- On October 12, you will play against Latvian team where your teammates are playing ("Skonto" Riga). Did you contact them?
- We talked and of course, both sides are sure that they will win. But now we are thinking less about Latvia. First we have to hold match against Malta.
As for Malta team, they trained at "Mikheil Meskhi" stadium at 19:00 and like yesterday, the training was closed after 15 minutes. Tomorrow Malta will train at "National" stadium at 21:00. 15 minutes before that, their coach John Buttigieg will hold press conference.
