Zuriko Davitashvili has been in sparkling form for several weeks. The one who should be one of the strong links in the upcoming Derby has just received good news from the coach of Georgia, the former Saint-Etienne player Willy Sagnol.
A few weeks ago, Zuriko Davitashvili met with observers to scrutinize the results from her native Georgia. A nation which, for the current Saint-Etienne attacking midfielder, is still little-known, but supported by an entire country, as he explained:
“For me, it's a pride to be Georgian. To play with my national team, it's a childhood dream come true. To be able to wear this jersey and show it during international matches, it's The love the people have for this team is fabulous. extraordinary. This is very important for us players. I know that we are not yet a very well-known nation but I invite you to find out more, to even accompany me so that you can discover our culture and our country. In terms of football, in Georgia we closely follow what is happening with the country's players who play abroad. Everyone is very aware of each other’s careers.”
Davitashvili on his way to League A?
Willy Sagnol, coach who has brought good colors back to Georgia since 2021, no longer does without his playmaker, even if the latter is not a potential starter. This does not prevent Zuriko Davitashvili, since he began his international career in 2019, from accumulating 46 caps for 6 goals scored.
There is a good chance that the ASSE player will end the month of November by adding a 47th and a 48th selection. Indeed, the looming international truce will offer Georgia two opponents on behalf of the League of Nations. After two defeats during the last international break, they will first host Ukraine on November 16 at 6 p.m. She will then travel to the group leader, the Czech Republic, on November 19 (8:45 p.m.). These last two matches could allow Zuriko Davitashvili and his teammates to qualify directly to join League A. To date, they are second and play-offs for the climb.
