Khvicha Kvaratskhelia, the captain of the Georgia national team, spoke ahead of their upcoming UEFA Nations League clash against Northern Ireland. The match is scheduled for tomorrow with kickoff at 16:00 UTC.
“It’s crucial how we start the Nations League. Despite facing strong opponents, our aim is to win the group. We’ve proven many times that we are capable of success. We must achieve the goal that will bring joy to all of us.
Playing four matches within ten days is a tough challenge for any team. We’ve had similar experiences a few years ago, and we performed well then.
To be honest, I feel good and have no lack of motivation. On the contrary, I am even more motivated now, and I will find answers to all questions on the pitch.
I respect all my opponents and am equally motivated. I will always give my all. That will be the case now, and I hope we will succeed.
The Ballon d’Or? Of course, it’s a pleasure to be nominated for such an award; it means a lot to me. If I am compared to George Best, I am very proud of that! I am glad to represent a small country like Georgia at the Ballon d’Or,” Kvaratskhelia told Sportall.ge.
