The midfielder got into the game straight away and was brimming with enthusiasm. Overall, he brought it to 26 ball contacts. Most of his passes were received by the teammates. His pass rate was 88 percent. His success rate in the duels (also 88 percent) was right. It ended up being a very decent home debut.
HSV coach Walter: “Have to keep the ball flat”
“Giorgi obviously has potential, and he shows it again and again,” explained Tim Walter, who at the same time raised his index finger admonishingly. “He still has to come in and find himself first. He’s been with us for a week now, so we have to keep the ball low and not immediately challenge it again.”
