Georgian national team had an intensive training with almost the whole team at Helsinki meeting in this evening. The only exception was Irakli Sirbiladze, who held the match in Finn championship two days ago, that’s why according to Ketsbaia’s decision he had individual training.
“Sirbiladze asked for Ketsbaia himself not to have as intensive training as others and to have individual training, but he does not suffer from injury. Other players also do not have any healthy problems. The team had training at reserve stadium of football club “HIK”. Olympic stadium will host the last training before the match tomorrow. Georgians will train from 18:30. Before half and hour Temur Ketsbaia will hold press-conference. According to the preliminary information, about 500 Georgian fans will come from Scandinavian countries for supporting Georgian team”- Otar Giorgadze chairman of the press-center of Georgian Football Federation told it to “World Sport”.
After ending the training, Irakli Sirbiladze made a comment for the official web-site of GFF. Striker of the team thinks that, a lot of fans will attend the match, which is held the day after tomorrow, because football is loved in Finland.
“When the Finn saw our matches against Belarus and Spain, they appraised us very much. They really did not expect that we would show such a strong resistance against Spain. To my mind we will manage to beat them with determination and technical football. In my opinion, the Finn will not manage to show relevant resistance against such technical and fast players, as Georgians are. That’s why we have to try to use this advantage. Local people think that we have equal chances than Finland and Belarus, for taking the third place.
A difficult match awaits us. No one thinks that it easy to beat Finn team. Generally they are focused on legionaries. I think chances are 50/50. If we use our chances maximally, we will achieve success”.
