Willie Saniol talked about the Georgia race – with the home team’s technician reporting that dreaming is not enough, with his players having to give it all to get the qualification in . Willie Saniol at the Georgia – Greece press conference, for the Euro 2024 qualifiers, made it clear that dreaming of qualifying for the finals of the event is not enough, as they have to oppose the “blue-white” to give their best self to qualify for. The experienced technician even pointed out that the National Team is quite a difficult opponent, but his football players are ready and can take the win. Saniol’s words about Georgia – Greece To prepare for the race: “We had more time to recover. After the match with Luxembourg, all players are ready. We have a training course, we will try to see all the details and show our best with Greece. I don’t like to talk too much about the opponent – I prefer not to talk about our opponent and let’s work on our own stories we can build.” For the winner mentality: “When we heard we had to play against Greece, we already knew how difficult a game it would be. They have good players. This is final, so they both want to win. The winning mentality means you want to win. I often tell my players that sometimes dreaming is not enough. My kids and my parents can dream too, but they can’t play. You have to do anything to succeed. My players have improved enough, they are well prepared and ready to play this game.” For the possibility of an extension and penalty: “We were more than 60 minutes against Luxembourg. I changed players. I thought the others would have a winning attitude. We’re ready for 120 minutes and I think we’ll win. Chekvatatze and Kohorashvili trained and are ready. We are also prepared even for the penalty procedure, because this scenario exists.” For player reading: “All players are ready, all 26 players and three players left out. Yet everyone is ready to play on the first team. Unfortunately, I can’t tell the team about tomorrow. Everyone wants to win, and everybody’s ready to play. To contribute to the game. Individual success is not important, the important thing is to win an entire country.” For the team plan: “My reaction after winning with Luxembourg was as follows: I was happy with the team, we did everything perfectly. I want to be proud of our good performances. I told the players that what we were against Luxembourg was good. We have a plan for tomorrow, you mentioned a “rescription”, but that does not exist. Otherwise I wouldn’t be a coach and create a company that would sell this recipe. This is football, we won against Luxembourg, but we don’t know how the game will end in another game. I want to work on it.” For the psychological part: “I don’t have a degree in psychology, but I’ll tell you the truth. If the kids were under pressure then I’d tell the experts we need a therapist. Children control their feelings and we know how to deal with anxiety and pressure, even though we agree that sometimes it is necessary.” For the development in the country’s football: “When you talk about improvement, you cannot judge from a game. We have to see the marker on a wide range. In September 2020 we were in League D, now we are in League B along with England. We are not a team like England, we are not “seeking”. Sweden is now in League C, but I beg them. The growth that is impressive. Vladimir Weiss has done a lot. The federation and players have done everything. Tomorrow we may win, we may lose, but we will feel that there is great improvement and progress. We will try to show this progress.”
