Khvicha Kvaratskhelia, Paris Saint-Germain’s 24-year-old winger, spoke to PSG TV about his arrival. He said he was delighted with the club’s welcome, as well as that of the fans. He feels at ease and thanks his team-mates.
Kvaratskhelia “I feel really good here”
“I feel really good here and this support helps me to perform better on the pitch. The adaptation time is short, but I think I’ve adapted pretty well, thanks to the staff, the coaches, the club and, of course, the players, who have given me a warm welcome.
Kvaratskhelia “Right from the start, I felt strong support from the fans”
The fans?
The fact that they welcomed me into the family so quickly and that I felt really happy and at ease really helps me find my place on the pitch, and I’m doing my best to make the most of it. Right from the start, I felt the strong support from the fans.
The welcome at the club?
PSG welcomes you in a way that allows you to believe in yourself and realize your value as a player. My first impression was that I felt like a top-level footballer who had joined a big club, and that counts for a lot as a player. The way the club makes you feel at ease plays an essential role.
Kvaratskhelia “I’d like to thank all my team-mates”
Everything went perfectly: I live in a great city and am part of a great club. I think the city plays an important role, especially when you have a family living with you.
Today, I’m part of this team and I’d like to thank all my team-mates for their warm welcome and for explaining so much about the club and local life.”
It’s never easy to arrive in January, at the winter mercato. The Georgian has succeeded perfectly. Criticized at times, he has nonetheless shown his formidable state of mind and, above all, we can’t wait to see him after a summer of preparation made in Luis Enrique.
The end of the season will help give a more positive or negative direction to his arrival. A victory in the Champions League would be associated with him in some way, and that could stay in people’s minds.
The revolution has not taken place, but the continuity of the project has been striking, with the arrival of a pleasant, combative and highly technical player – everything Luis Enrique appreciates. Now it’s up to him to finish the season well.
