The Georgian goalkeeper also took advantage of his time in front of the media to praise his teammate Georges Mikautadze: “ He is very good. I think he will also go to a very big team. » Regarding Spanish talents, he stressed: ” Lamine Yamal has a lot of qualities: he scores goals, gives assists… They also have, in my opinion, the best goalkeeper of the season in La Liga with Unai Simon. We will have to fight and stay focused, at this level, as we have done so far. »
