Goalkeeper Giorgi Mhamardashvili, Valencia, voted for Liverpool in the summer in a move of € 35 million, but to the surprise of many this season remained on loan in Mestalla. He revealed why that was to Barcelona Ferran Torres on Sunday evening.
The two were found in conversation after Los Che gave an extensive 7-1 beat by Barcelona on Sunday evening, in which Torres came on the score sheet. Mamaardashvili has remained one of the better players of Valencia this season, but it was a difficult year for everyone at the club.
“I had to stop one of them,” says Mamardashvili Dismissal.
“Well, we are playing better now. Because we dropped points, we couldn't fall. Why didn't you go this year? “Torres asks.
“Alisson,” replies Mhaldashvili, before he covers his mouth for the next part of the conversation. “
“Well, good luck!” Torres says while hugging the gigantic keeper.
Mamaardashvili probably had the chance to get on loan this season instead of staying in Valencia, but chose to stay on the east coast of Spain, where he is appreciated and comfortable. Despite the signing of Stole Dmitrievsky, Mamardashvili has remained one of the undisputed number one.
However, it will be a season of growth for Mamardashvili. After he was part of one of the more difficult backlines last season, Los Che admitted 30 goals in the 17 games he played, allowing him to keep only 4 clean sheets. However, he managed a rescue of the seasonal impact earlier this year.
The question for the Georgian Shot stopper will be whether the comparison has been changed next season. The 32-year-old Alisson Becker still has 2.5 years on his deal, and unless a large selection comes in that convinces both the Brazilian and Liverpool to accept it, he seems to continue as number one for the time being.
