I can’t say much today, it will be analyzed later. I am proud to be the coach of these players - Willy Sagnol

I am proud to be the coach of these football players, they presented the image of Georgia perfectly, said the coach of the national team, Willy Sagnol, said at the press conference after the Georgia-Portugal match.

“The Georgian national team exceeded all expectations… The main message to the players was - play! When you don’t have the ball, be disciplined, when you have the ball, play. They trained really well and exceeded all expectations!

I can’t say much today, it will be analyzed later. I am proud to be the coach of these players, they presented the image of Georgia perfectly. The main thing was that we did not regret anything. When you’re a debutant, you don’t have a lot of pressure. The main thing was to bring pride to Georgia and we did that!

When I came to Georgia, it was a little different football. The Football Federation has done a lot in the last 10-15 years. The boys want not only to win, but to win by playing well.

You can’t plan anything in football. As for Kiteishvili, he deserves to play in Europe"s top leagues. We didn’t even try to discuss future opponents in advance. We will fight to the end again! Until we heard the referee’s whistle, we were focused on the result”, - said Willy Sagnol.
