Boris Paijadze is the biggest football name in Georgia, and tomorrow the arena in Tbilisi named after him will tremble and dream - or rather, the whole country will dream.
Georgia is at the gates of paradise, in the finals of the play-off to go to the European Championship, it welcomes Greece - if the country of the Caucasus Mountains and the Black Sea celebrates, it will be part of a major competition for the first time.
Due to his elegance, Paijadze was called "football's Enrico Caruso", after the famous tenor from Naples, and the prayers of the whole of Georgia will be directed towards another guy who became famous in the city below Vesuvius.
Hviča Kvaracheli, football maestro of Georgia and Napoli, will have the opportunity to do what no one before him has managed - to lead his country to the European Championship.
"You won't hear him shouting during the game, but he is our leader - a quiet leader," described Quarachelli, one of the coaches in Willy Sagnolo's staff, the British David Webb.
During the previous two years, the world got to know the football poetry of the guy who was called "Quaradona" in Naples, after the deity of this city, Diego Maradona.
"Everyone sees that he is a player with incredible technique, but he is also a very humble guy and a great professional," Webb added to the British "I news".
Hviča had to skip the semi-final duel with Luxembourg because of the card - now he is here, but he doesn't want to put himself in the foreground.
"It doesn't matter who will score a goal - the only thing that matters is that we run on the field, fight and win," Kvarachelija told the website of the Football Association of Georgia.
The match between Georgia and Greece will be played tomorrow (Tuesday) at 18:XNUMX, and the winner will finish in Group F at the European Championship, where Portugal, Turkey and the Czech Republic are already waiting.
The two remaining playoff matches will be played tomorrow - Wales will welcome Poland in Cardiff (the winner will go to a strong group with the Netherlands, France and Austria), while Ukraine will host Iceland in Wroclaw (the better will finish in the group with Belgium, Romania and Slovakia).
