The Georgian forward spoke to the media after the game:<\/p>\n

First of all, I\u2019m happy that we won the game. If we don’t win, the numbers don\u2019t mean anything. So I\u2019m happy for my team. I\u2019m really proud of my teammates. I think that we played great defensively and offensively. We moved the ball offensively and defensively we had a couple of minutes of struggle, but we came back. We never gave up and I\u2019m glad, thank God, we won the game. From the beginning, we started good, but Zenit is, especially on the road you\u2019ve see that they play great and we knew that at some point they would try to come back. Especially they have great shooters and also with those kinds of shooters you never know, but we kept our cool and we executed the game plan and we won the game.”<\/p>\n
