„It was hard and painful to get back to training process. I felt a lot of pain and couldn’t train for 100%. I played for a few minutes against Ružomberok and Žilina. The coach let me play for a half an hour against Slovan Bratislava and I can finally say that I’m ready to play a full match,“ said with a big smile Beridze.

However, a return to the A-team isn’t gonna be easy. Philip Azango and Hilary Gong are performing great on wings. Competition is also filled with the experienced Joey Sleegers and the youth representant Milan Kvocera. „I know that a fight for a place in a line-up is waiting for me. The competition is strong and I had an injury. But this is football. If your name isn’t Messi or Ronaldo, you won’t have a guaranteed place.“

Against Slovan Bratislava Giorgi came to the pitch, to play in midfield, during the second half instead of Sleegers. „I played on this post in the past. I was used to it,“ said Beridze and added: „It was a hard match. Slovan was strong with a ball. Although, we got an important three points and we still want to fight for the third place.“
