Midfielder of Kyiv’s “Dynamo” and the Georgian national team Georgiy Tsitaishvili summed up the results of the Nations League match with the Ukrainian national team (1:1), in which he came on as a substitute in the 67th minute of the game.
Georgiy Tsitaishvili“It’s better that my game is evaluated by the coaches. I don’t like to talk about myself.
Of course, the Ukrainian national team is a strong team. Almost 80% of its players play in top leagues.
We came into this match with great motivation because the first encounter with Ukraine did not go as it should have (0:1, — ed. note). We played well, controlling the course of the match. Based on how we played in the second half, I believe we deserved to win.
I was doubly motivated. Of course, playing in the jersey of the Ukrainian national team cannot be compared to playing in the jersey of the Georgian national team. It was very important for me to win, but I hope everything will go well in the match against the Czech Republic,” — Tsitaishvili’s words are quoted by Goal.ge.
Let us remind you, Tsitaishvili played for the Ukrainian youth national team and became the world champion as part of the Ukrainian youth team (U-20), but ultimately accepted Georgian citizenship. Since then, the midfielder has played 23 matches for the Georgian national team, scoring 1 goal and providing 2 assists.
At the club level, Tsitaishvili is currently playing on loan for the Spanish “Granada.” It seems he will not return to “Dynamo,” as his contract with the Kyiv club will expire simultaneously with the end of the current loan period.
