Arriving from Bordeaux this summer, Zuriko Davitashvili has fully adapted to AS Saint-Etienne. The Georgian striker has a blast in front of the Geoffroy-Guichard crowd, which he places above the Bordeaux supporters. A statement little appreciated in Gironde.
Criticized for its summer recruitment, AS Saint-Etienne can at least rejoice in the signing of Zuriko Davitashvili. The former Girondins de Bordeaux winger, recruited for around 6 million euros, represents the good pick of the Saint-Etienne transfer window. The Georgian international already has 5 goals and 2 assists in Ligue 1. Statistics which make him the main offensive asset of coach Olivier Dall'Oglio, but also Geoffroy-Guichard's new darling.

A mutual favorite given that Zuriko Davitashvili says he is impressed by the Greens public. The AS Saint-Etienne striker even placed Saint-Etienne supporters above the fans he encountered in Bordeaux over the last two seasons in Ligue 2. “ We have incredible fans, even when you don't play well, the atmosphere makes you want to do betterpraised the former Dinamo Batoumi player on the Geo Team YouTube channel. This gives us additional motivation. »
« These are the best fans I have ever played in front ofinsisted the best player of the month of October in Ligue 1. Although, in Bordeaux, they are also incredible. Here, they like football differently: the stadium is always full, the supporters behind the two cages, it creates a magical atmosphere. It's totally different when the supporters are there. We lost our first home match when they were away, we felt a big void. Everyone should experience the atmosphere of this stadium at least once. » On social networks, his statements go down badly among Girondin fans who have not always seen him evolve at his best level.
