On July 1st, in the Round of 16 of the European Championship, Spain will face Georgia for a spot in the quarter-finals. Ahead of the match, Georgia’s head coach, Saneol, attended a press conference.
About the Match
Saneol: We enter the game with great confidence because, in reality, we have nothing to lose. In my opinion, we’ve already “won.” I’ll be very excited on the pitch. It’s an exciting moment because our performance has exceeded expectations. Spain has had more rest, but that doesn’t matter. I believe my players are well-rested and eagerly anticipating tomorrow’s match.
About the 1-7 Defeat to Spain in Qualifiers
Saneol: That was a painful moment, but sometimes in life, you need such moments to move forward. These moments are tough; you don’t perform as expected, and you think you’ve done everything wrong. Without setbacks, you can’t achieve greatness. It’s part of life. That match taught us many things, and we learned valuable lessons.
About the Spanish Team
Saneol: Spain has been the best team in the competition so far, so this match will be very challenging. We’ve played them four times and lost all four encounters. But this game is different, with a new context and atmosphere, so anything can happen.
About the Game Plan
Saneol: Against Spain, if all you think about is defending, you won’t succeed. We need to reproduce the excellent performance we had against Portugal.
