The one who for many is the best goalkeeper so far in the Euro, Giorgi Mamardashvili, analyzed the round of 16 match against Spain. La Roja is a favorite, but warned that Georgia is going to fight. Never better said. He also spoke about his future at Valencia. It seems that he is clear:
Prediction against Spain
“For me, Spain is the big favorite to win the Euro Cup. Georgia, on the other hand, is a small country, but with a big heart and we have to fight as hard as possible to see what happens.”
Do you underestimate Georgia?
“We have already had a good Euro Cup. Now we have to enjoy, fight and compete.”

Praise for his stops
It’s not easy, but I’m prepared for it. Throughout the year I have prepared to reach this level and I hope to continue like this.
Main weapons of Georgia
“We have to be good in defense and try to come out quickly on the counterattack. We have fast and quality people up front.”
Memory of 1-7
“I think we were unlucky.”

Spain’s greatest concern
“Almost all of them. Yamal has a lot of quality: he scores goals, he gives assists… They also have, in my opinion, the best goalkeeper of the season in LaLiga. We will have to fight and remain focused, at this level, as until now.”
Sentimental connection with Spain
“I remember all these years very well. I have had a very good coach at Valencia, José Ochotorena. Working with him is a pleasure.”
Coach Sagnol’s contribution
“Willy has told us that we have to continue at this level.”

His best stop of the 21 Euros
“The last game, against Portugal, against Diogo Dalot, although it does not count because the referee invalidated it when reviewing the VAR and calling a penalty in our favor.”
Future at Valencia
“My future will be clear before the day after tomorrow afternoon.”
El ‘pichichi’ Mikautadze
“He’s very good. I think he’s also going to go to a very big team.”
Kvaratskhelia
“I think it’s better than all of Spain”
Beat Spain
“I’m not going to say that we are going to win. What we have to do is fight until the end and see what happens”
