Je n’ai jamais rien manqué et je ne me suis probablement jamais autant préparé que pour ce match. Je pensais être prêt à tout, mais ce n’était pas le cas. Je réalise que Dieu m’a choisi et que j’ai pu épargner cette douleur à d’autres footballeurs. Je suis prêt à traverser ces mois de travail, de douleur et de larmes.

Kvaratskhelia breaks his silence after his injury

The Georgian international sent an emotional message to his supporters via his « Instagram » account, in which he wrote:

“Why me? I was not ready for this.
Many people have asked me questions about this setback, and many have said that if all the footballers in the world had prayed, the match would have ended in a draw. That may be true, but before every match I play, I ask God to let me leave the pitch safe and sound, but in vain.
“It hasn’t been long since it happened, but this question continues to preoccupy me: why me, specifically? I neglected nothing and I have probably never prepared as much for a match as I did this time.
I thought I was ready for anything, but that was not the case. I now understand that God chose me and, if I spared players on another pitch this pain, I am ready to go through these months of work, pain and tears.
I know that I have to come back stronger for my people, who continue to support me. I will not let you down, and I promise you that I will not waste a single second.
Thank you all for your support, and see you soon.”

❤️‍🩹 Khvicha Kvaratskhelia: “Why me? I was not ready for this”. “Many people have asked me questions about this setback, many have said that if all the footballers in the world prayed, the match would end in a draw. That might be true, but before every match I play, I ask God to leave the field unscathed, but in vain.” “It hasn't been long, but it's still in my head - why me, actually? I've never missed anything, probably prepared for this game the best I've ever prepared. I thought I was prepared for everything, but no, and I realize that God has chosen me and if I was protecting the players on another field, I'm ready to go through these months of work, pain, tears.” “I know I have to come back stronger for my people who always support me, I won't let you down, I promise I won't waste a second. Thank you all for your support, see you soon”.
