Her National football was defeated in the penalty from and was eliminated from Euro 2024, with Georgian coach, Vili Saniol revealing that his team had trained for the possibility of the game leading to… Russian roulette. Georgia scored the 4 out of the 5 penalty shootouts it performed, but Greece had two lost executions with Bakaseta and Yakoumaki, allowing the Saniol team to celebrate the Euro 2024 qualification at the end. Saniol’s statements “More often many believed that I had to leave the National Agriculture, but that’s what I was trying to explain, that it takes months and years to get results. To tell you the truth, I never thought about leaving, because I feel good here, there are professionals around me, it’s a pleasure to work with them.” For the penalty procedure and its players: “We did a lot of penalty practice. When you have a penalty, you never know who’s gonna finish the game and so who’s gonna shoot. We talked individually and found out who was ready. In general, I don’t want to stand out the players, everyone’s good, even Dvali who played fantastically, the penalty he performed was a reflection of his game. Also, Davitasvili, Mikautatze, I don’t want to tell anyone apart, the penalty procedure wants big balls. I want to mention Kvekvescire, who cried more after defeating North Macedonia. He didn’t have to play much, but he scored the last penalty and it’s a good example, he showed a strong character and I want to thank the kids very much.”
