Many people have a question: Why footballers of "Vit Georgia" cannot make a progress after transferring in other football club? Of course, there are some exclusions (for example, Otar Martsvaladze), but it often happens that these footballers left their best years in the "Veterinaries". It is difficult to answer but maybe the main problem was that "Vit Georgia" was very friendly club... Maybe it is friendly today too, if it was not so Irakli Klimiashvili would not say these words: "I cannot imagine playing in any other Georgian club, I cannot go against "Vit Georgia".
A very shameful case happened in the club this summer: during the match with Ukrainian Krimteplits Giorgi Beriashvili physically assaulted coach Gela Gomelauri. After this Beriashvili was put on transfer and Gomelauri left the club after several days: a real coach should really have done this after losing 0:6 with Chezh "banik" on League of European qualification round.
After losing 0:6 Georgian club played draw 0:0 with "banik" in Chezh Republic. Draw without a goal would not be a bad result for any Georgian club but it depends on what motiviation the match has. After leaving Gomelauri, Merab Kochlashvili is the head coach of the club, Zurab Beridze is his assistant. They have been working in this club for many years and they know the situation well.
What ambition will "Vit Georgia have in the upcoming season? Aleksandre Kvakhadze, Lasha Japaridze, Luka Razmadze, Grigol Bediashvili, Giorgi Beriashvili - these 5 leading footballers went to play in "Olymp". Giorgi Datunashvili, as well as young forward Mikheil Rostiashvili, was transferred in Kutaisi "Torpedo".
New footballers are still coming from farm team. "Vit Georgia" never buy footballers from other teams. Such were only two these year - goalkeeper Giorgi Dzadzamia and defender Irakli Chankvetadze.
Klimiashvili is a leader forward of "Vit Georgia" who is also one of the best footballers in Georgian Youth Team. Also Jaba Lipartia will be main strength and a 20-year old Giorgi Vasadze who took his place among 11 footballers and had a good season. 2 candidates are on the position of central forward - Vakhtang Kvaratskhelia who suffered from injuries last season and Besik Chimakidze. Giorgi Janelidze and Beka Zakradze played well in test matches who are also forwards. Maybe Ardalion Mikaberidze will be a main goalkeeper, Davit Lomaia and Guram Adamadze will play in central defend , Giga Bechvaia or Davit Khurtsilava will be on right wing and Chankvetadze - on the left wing.
During control matches: after coming back from Chezh Republic "Veterinaries" beat first Sachkheri "Chikhura" 4:0 (Zakradze - 2 goals, Kvaratskhelia and Chimakadze - one goal), and then beat Azerbaijanian "Turan" 2:0.
"Vit Georgia" seems to fail fighting for great goals this season. Though nothing has changed in the club policy. The club is still physically strong. The main reason of this is vitamins. Guram Rukhadze is a president of the club who is a famous specialist and he rules the club really well. Many people say that Rukhadze is the only president in Georgian football clubs who had no loss...
Let's see how new "Vit Georgia will play in the championship, reapeating 2004 and 2009 years is more like a dream - "Vit Georgia" became champion in these years.
