Napoli signed a technical winger.

2022 Khvicha Kvaratskelia

Khvicha wanted a chance in the top 5 and Spalletti proved to be a mentor who believed in him. Napoli is a great club for a winger. They actively played on the hips for a long time. Insigne’s departure, Lozano’s problems, Osimkhen’s presence – Good conditions have been created for Kvaratskhelia for his debut. Included for Champions League matches. If Kazan players have entered a clause on the transfer fee of a footballer returned home from Rubin, they will receive a bonus to fight for a ticket to RPL.

2021 Giorgi Mamardashvili

One of the most promising young goalkeepers of the top 5. The only pity is that the state of Los Ches is bad, the defense is not a gift, the worst of the top ten teams. But 76% of saved shots indicate Giorgi is the one to bet on. He is young, he is learning to play with his feet in short, the games are obtained, he can certainly work even better at the exit. Mamardashvili was remembered, at the age of 21 in La Liga, not all goalkeepers can boast of it.

2015 Jaba Kankava

Only four Georgian footballers have experience in France. The former captain of the Georgian national team joined Ligue 1 after many years of performances UPL. Kankava chose Reims in a bad moment, the team is relegated. Although Jaba did his job, met tough opponents, and garnered a decent collection of yellow cards, they returned to the top without him. After a successful match with Tobol, Kankava once again played in France in the second league, and now at the age of 36 in Slovan.

2008 Levan Mchedlidze

Speaking of the main Georgian legionnaire in Serie A he will be a little shorter, but here we are talking about a talent who was not lucky. Mchedlidze ended up at Palermo on loan from Empoli. He scored against Juventus, but injuries intervened. He has appeared more often in Empoli, also in Serie B, but the result is more or less the same. The heavy striker was not pleased with the goals and his team with the results. Despite having played in Italy for 11 years, he has taken part in six different Serie A seasons.

Year 2005. Zurab Khizanishvili

The center-back ended up in Scotland at the turn of the century, playing for Dundee and Rangers. Then he was spotted at Blackburn Rovers. And although they were later loaned to Newcastle and Reading, before moving to Turkey, Zurab managed to play Premier League. He played 62 games in the English top flight as part of the “tramps”, because for the rest of his clubs in England he played in the lower league. A strong defender, the legend of the Georgian national team.

year 2001. Kakhaber Kaladze

The mayor of Tbilisi is one of the best winter signings in the history of AC Milan. Kaladze attended Dynamo schools in Tbilisi and Kiev. He played on the left and in the center of defense, he remained for eleven years in Serie A. he The only Georgian footballer to have won the Champions League twice. In the first case he played as a base, in the second he entered as a substitute at the end. He played for the Nesta and Maldini clubs, but as a player of rotation he showed himself in full.

year 2001. Giorgi Demetradze

I entered the top 5 in the same year as Kaladze. An agile striker with experience in Alania and Dynamo Kiev ended up in Real Sociedad, where Karpin wasn’t there yet, but Khokhlov was already there. And if Russian footballers were useful, then Demetradze did not play in Spain. And after the end of his career, he contacted criminal elements. He received a six-year term, but was quickly released. He now he works with young people. A good striker, but in the West he played like Smolov, a bit of Feyenoord, a bit of La Liga.

1999 Levan Tskitishvili

After the failures of the new century players in the Bundesliga, they no longer trusted Georgian players. In the twentieth century, things were different. Dynamo Tbilisi’s Levan ended up in Freiburg, where he played for many years. The midfielder was not incredibly productive, but he was able to please the crowd with long range shots, he played in the center and with a shot on the left wing. A decent midfielder, he played 127 Bundesliga games for Freiburg and Wolfsburg.

1998 Levan Kobiashvili and Alexander Iashvili

Two footballers with whom the Germans associate Georgian players in the Bundesliga. Kobiashvili and Iashvili entered the major leagues simultaneously. Alexander quickly left for Germany, after Lübeck he moved to Freiburg, where six months later he was already playing with Tskitishvili. Iashvili was a prolific striker, scored many goals and actively delivered assists. 34 assists and 32 goals in the Bundesliga, 47 precise shots and 51 correct passes in Bundesliga 2. Levan Kobiashvili also needs no introduction. 349 Bundesliga games for Freiburg, Schalke and Hertha. Productive, explosive, versatile: one of the most important legionaries of German football of his time.

1997 Temuri Ketsbaya

Now Temuri coaches the Cyprus national team and his international club career once started from this country. From AEK he joined Newcastle, then played for Wolverhampton, but already in Serie A. But for the “forty” Ketsbaya played many strong matches Premier Leagueespecially in the first season. He was a little late in England at the age of twenty-nine, but physically and mentally he was ready for great challenges. Ketsbaia played in the Champions League with Newcastle, which few can boast of yet.

1995 Georgy Kinkladze

Before joining Manchester, the midfielder was on loan to the German club and Boca Juniors. In the mid-1990s, the “citizens” were outsiders, but one season later Premier League, and then for two years in the second league Georgy played brilliantly for them. He was recognized as Manchester City’s best player of the year, so he moved to Ajax. In Amsterdam, he did not catch on, but he returned Premier League, played for the Derby for three seasons. Career finished a RPLwhere Berdyev invited him, but to Rubin as another experienced veteran in Premier League – Sergei Rebrov, failed to prove himself.

1993 Kakhaber Tskhadadze

He appeared in Spartak, where he spent a good short segment, won the championship. Then he moved to Dinamo and ended up at Eintracht. Tskhadadze was an emotional player, a tough defender; both Mostovoy and Dugarry suffered from it. Heynckes did not appreciate Kakhaber’s zeal and his explosive nature; Kakhaber did not stay in Germany for long. In Alania, the defender also did not catch on, but later ended up at Manchester City, albeit not inside Premier League. Tskhadadze showed promise, often moved from place to place, but did not differ in stability.

Technique, moral qualities and inconstancy distinguish many Georgian footballers of the new time. But after a serious hiatus, young Georgian talents have a chance to declare themselves in the top 5. Let’s see how Mikautadze, Mekvabishvili, Tsitaishvili and Chakvetadze grow, whose Hamburg failed to get promotion to the Bundesliga, but can do it with the midfielder Georgian based in the new season. Meanwhile, the centers of attraction are in Valencia and Naples, where the clubs of the main young stars of Georgian football are based. Good luck in Kvaratskelia. If in Naples, where they were not stingy in hiring a Georgian, they take football more seriously than in Kazan, then the coach has a great future.
