Shota Makharadze: “Today we integrate more young players”
- Shota, a tense match - how do you estimate your players in it?
- First, I'd like to turn to gratitude to the opponent for the warm welcome. Everything was well organized. Given the situation with the pandemic, I would like to thank all those who are interested in holding and preparing the Division-A matches. As for the game, we scored an early goal, then we could double our advantage in the score. We did it only in the second half. Then missed a curious ball - the goalkeeper had no playing practice for a long time. Thanks to all the boys for the spirit and dedication in difficult conditions. Thanks to all the staff, coaching staff and every player.
- What is the reason for the early substitution of Evgheni Ozhekhovsky? Playing discipline?
- No, this is not a playing discipline. He did not fit into the game, he dropped out at times, so we made a substitution. We have a high level of competition, there are younger players who are already imposing the necessary struggle for a place in the line-up.
- The second match with the participation of our team is tense. In your opinion, is Division-A a more interesting tournament than the Championship of Resrves?
- I like both championships. In the last championship we played with a completely different team. In this championship, the squad has radically changed. Today we integrate more young players. Both championships have their pluses and minuses, so I respect both championships.
