After losing to Belarus (0:2) in the qualifying round of World Cup 2014, Temur Ketsbaia stated his team played better against the team of Georgy Kondratiev in Minsk than in Tbilisi.

“We played better than in Tbilisi. It was a good game in Minsk. We had many moments. We tried but we were lack of shoot, assist etc.

It is bad when you are scored goal at the beginning of the match. We will try not to make the same mistakes.

Our goal is to fight for the third place. Belarus and Finland have the same goal. Now we are in the third place but we have to fight for keeping this position. We have young boys in the team and I hope they will gain experience in such games.

Goals which we were scored, we should not have been scored. In order to achieve something, we must play on “zero”, - stated Ketsbaia and mentioned substitution of Okriashvili – “Okriashvili entered the dressing room and told me his leg hurt. He was hero in Tbilisi but we needed heroes here as well.

We had such players against Belarus who do not have playing experience. We planned Jano to play in the second half.

I cannot say we were tired. We attacked in the second half.

Mistakes were the main reason of failure. I congratulate the Belarusians on victory”, - internet-edition football.by cites the words of Ketsbaia.
