Kakha Kaladze, recovered from injury and ready to get back amongst the thick of things was making some bold claims prior to Georgia's match up against Italy. Kaladze claimed he would not accept a permanent role as left fullback for Milan and was confident he could challenge Nesta and Silva for a starting role in the cetre of defence.
“If it will be necessary, I can play at left-back, but for no more than two or three matches... but I am now ready and the match against Italy will be my first match for six and a half months. I am fired up. After that, I will go back to Milanello and compete with Nesta and Thiago Silva." confidently proclaimed Kaladze.
Some 24 hours later and the Georgian sings to a different tune:
“The team did well and the lads gave their heart and soul tonight, so I am so very sorry that we conceded two goals and it was my fault. These things happen in football,” sighed the captain.
“Now I will return to Milan and if they decide to send me out on to the field, then I will do my best.”
said I rather more humble Kaladze after scoring two, thats right, two own goals against Italy. I'm sure he will spend a few restless nights reflecting on how his best laid plans went so wrong.
