The former Girondins de Bordeaux winger, Zuri Davitashvilispoke about his rapid integration into AS Saint-Etienne.
“In pre-season, against Villarreal, I scored two goals and made an assist, so that helps too! I felt that the whole club had confidence in me, and I still feel that. Plus, I already had experience, so we can say that the adaptation period is over. We are starting to adapt, the new arrivals, including me, and we have to start showing our game. In Bordeaux, when I arrived, no one knew me. When I arrived here, my transfer cost more to Saint-Étienne. Plus, during the first season in Bordeaux, I was on loan. There were document problems at the beginning, so I couldn't play, and it was difficult psychologically. Afterwards, I scored in my first match in Bordeaux too, so that helped me again. But it must be said that the first season was hard for me in Bordeaux, you could see it in the stats. And this season in Saint-Étienne, even the stats have improved.”
The former Bordeaux player also invited people to respond to the comments of
Christophe Dugarryconcerning him.
« I looked at the team composition, it’s catastrophic! Did they take the guy from Bordeaux? Do you realize that he was the holder Davitashvili or I don't know what! In Bordeaux he had no place. He was already a substitute in Ligue 2! “. To which the main person responded.
“I think he didn't watch the matches and only saw the 8-0 defeat, and of course that had an effect. Compared to me, I think everyone can have their opinion on all players, and that's normal. When I read these kinds of comments, it's a kind of motivation for me, and it's with my game that I have to prove things, there is no other solution. You have to get out there and show that person who is criticizing you that they are wrong. I think everything is fixed after my performances, and that's how it is, everyone has their opinion, and it's impossible to be liked by everyone Not everyone thinks you're a good player, even if you are. It's part of football, of sport, and for me it's a challenge, a challenge, because it strengthens you! It gives you the motivation to work more on yourself. You have to please the fans, the family and everyone with your game and show that it is not a coincidence that you are here, in this club, at this level.”
