Khvicha Kvaratskhelia as Diego Armando Maradona, Georgian brakes down

Khvicha Kvaratskhelia is the biggest surprise of this league: bought by Napoli in the summer for about 10 million euros, he has already won over fans and attracted the attentions of several top European clubs. Some have even ventured comparisons with Diego Armando Maradona, but the Georgian to official Serie A channels put the brakes on: “I think no one can be compared to him: he was a soccer legend. It will be very difficult to see a player like him playing in the future. But it is obvious that I am very happy when they compare me to him: it means a lot to me and makes me feel even more responsibility. When you are compared to such a player, you can only be proud and happy.”

“Spalletti always tells me that I have to do more,” continued the Parthenopean champion, “that I must not settle and that I have to play a little more together with my teammates. I want to emphasize his humanity and greatness as a person: from day one he has always talked to me and explained things. I learn a lot from him and I noticed that I have already grown. Tactically I have learned a lot and I want to keep learning more.”

The Georgian has bonded a lot with Kim: “I would like to say that he is a wonderful person, he brings a lot of positivity to the locker room. Hard to stay serious when you are with him, he loves to joke a lot. As for the field, he is a very strong defender. For me he’s one of the best in the world: if he’s behind you in defense, you’re in a barrel. You know he’s going to stop the attacker and not let the opponents score. That’s why he is an extraordinary defender, that’s why he is one of the best in the world.”
