It starts with a 1-1 draw between Czech Republic And Georgia the second day of Group F of Euro 2024. A draw that leaves more than one reprieve for Hasek’s national team, which besieged the opponent’s goal for a good part of the 90 minutes and found the equalizer in the second half with Schick. The joke could have been even greater, if Lobyanidze hadn’t missed a convenient opportunity on the counterattack towards the end. Two points thrown away therefore, in a group that still gives the Czechs the chance to qualify in the last 90 minutes.
Georgia, for its part, must thank Mamardashvili for the first point achieved in its history in a continental event. The Valencia goalkeeper was simply superb, outdoing himself on several occasions both in the first half and in the second 45 minutes. He is therefore the star of the national team: a role that on paper he should have belonged to Kvaratskhelia. The Napoli winger played a rather subdued game, failing to activate the maneuver on the few occasions in which he was encouraged by his teammates. A performance that, perhaps, makes the Napoli managers reflect further. In the event of a 100 million offer, it is right to keep him or finance a great market with his farewell: the answer will be clearer in the coming weeks.
