Today, the last round of Ukrainian Premier League will be held and perhaps, “Illichivets” of Tornike Okriashvili will not leave the tournament. Besides that, the team should beat “Dinamo” Kiev, “Sevastopol” and “Kryvbas” should lose their matches.

Okriashvili talked to Ukrainian “Sport-Express”. Here is a short version of this interview. The most important is where Tornike continues his career:

- Perhaps, your fear on the pitch is cause of critical tournament situation…

- I always believe in my possibilities. I play with any opponent as I can. When I play I do not think about the tournament schedule.

- When does your loan deadline expire?

- After the match against “Dinamo” Kiev.

- Do you hope that “Shakhtar” Donetsk will transfer you from “Gagra”?

- Of course. I will do everything to interest coaches of “Shakhtar”. I know that there is a great competition on my position in “Shakhtar”. Brazilians play there. But it does not make me afraid and I will fight.

- Did Mirca Lucescu contact you?

- No, but I know Lucescu observes young players. I am sure he knows quality of my playing.

- Are you called up in the team?

- Yes. I am called up in the team and played during 40 minutes against Slovenia. We won 2:1.

- Did you play in the team at the age of 19?

- No, at the age of 18. I played in U-21 team at the age of 17.

- Is head coach of Georgian national team interested in your playing in the club?

- Of course. He has contact with my manager. The national team is interested in me.

- Which player of “Dinamo” Kiev you do not want to play against?

- Yarmolenko, Gusev, Milevski… though, I want Shevchenko to come back. It is dream to play with him.
