Khvicha Kvaratskhelia - Georgian Maradona

Someone requested this thread so I obliged.

Kid looks a bit special.

Best Georgian footballer since Kakha Kaladze

When I've said he 's three times the player that Insigne was ppl hadn't believed me

Robes always with the truth

He looked completely undaunted out there. Had some fun, displayed some cockiness that he could backup with his play. Just a fun performance to watch from a player I had no idea existed prior to today.

Only took one match to convince me.

The best Serie A player is from Georgia, what a time to be alive

MOTM in almost every match. Incredible impact, and also enjoyable style. Like a player from the 90s and early 00s.

Sagnol (coach of Georgia) gave an interview where he stated that he offered Khvicha to various Ligue 1 clubs. Some of the responses he got included "His name is too weird" , "he's not Brazilian ", "we never heard of his agent"

And people still get ticked off when we tell them certain players owe their careers to having the right passport and working with the right agents. Football GMs are utter morons.

It doesn't matter your career, luck is always a big factor. Messi could've been a midget if it weren't for a napkin contract.

He even rocks the half way socks on the pitch. Honestly, tuning into Napoli is worth it with him on the pitch, long may it continue.

okay, but how do you pronounce his name?

Khvi (not a hard K, but like the Arabic throaty sound)-cha Kva-rats-khelia (again, not ah ard K).

Substituting the Kh with a hard K is understandable

Also known as Kvara for short

Or Kvaradona

Took me a few tries to pronounce his namd right. Now it rolls off easy everytime. Never knew the first K was also soft.

I'm calling it, the guy is a fraud, wannabe Ronaldo, tirelessly shooting the moon and the stadium roof and lights. Moronic player.

In the 3-4 games i've seen he was legit, anyways if you need goals against Cremonese he's your guy


In my mind the real georgian GOAT is Jano, 85+ potential and always available for cheap

Got pocketed by Calabria 4 games in a row ffs.

i wouldn't call him squeezing through a couple double teams and blazing the ball over the goal twice as being pocketed...

ironic how both he and Saka, the two wingers of the season, have sold extremely hard for both their teams at critical time the past two games

I don't see it as ironic its just a very demanding position.

Wingers have the burden of constantly having to be creative, over having to create. Consistently finding solutions from a position of many options and sometimes it just does not come out to be what it is.

I dont know about Kvichka but Saka simply is facing adversity has not before and as a result is due to come out even better. All of Arsenal's squad will why losing this season isn't any loss at all.

As for Milan somehow not surprised this ended this way.
Euro pedigree is real and Napoli let their general emotional build up have them lose their heads. They didn't do anything entirely wrong they failed to move the ball fast enough to open our tight defence and just lacked ideas and not giving Osimhen enough service.

Deservedly through. Hopefully we face the winner of Inter Benfica and NOT Man City dear god hope not.

Shades of Arsenal losing to Chelsea in the 2004 CL.

Losing to a league rival who's not really competing for the championship in a historic season for your team has got to sting.

good comp.

Feel like them having that huge gap in Serie A might have led to them losing focus and momentum in their intensity.

We absolutely have their number in head to head games. Beat them 4-0 in the league. First game which we lost narrowly, we dominated that game.

Inter worries me far more. Much like how we have Napoli's number I feel Inter has ours despite us being better in the league for the last two years.

To be fair, Milan would be facing the winner of Inter Benfica as the Quarterfinal and Semi-final draw are always done the same day.

Then I stand corrected.

Predicted we beat Inter's ass if we face them.


Benfica? Nicht so viel.
