The veteran players of the Georgian national team and Milan club held a joint press conference before the match.

At the press conference, Kakha Kaladze recalled the period of playing in "Milan" with his former teammates and thanked his friends for visiting Georgia.

"I want to thank my friends for coming to our country, to our beautiful capital, and today, Georgian fans will have the opportunity to see spectacular football.

As for Milan, I am the happiest person to have had the opportunity to play for a club with such a history as Milan. I had an amazing ten years. The team then won everything it was possible to win. The arrival of "Milan" in Georgia has a double burden for me. It's like I've gone back in time. I'm still the little "tin" I was years ago and I'm the happiest person that the friends with whom I achieved great success are still with me today. Many Georgian fans stayed up late at night to watch Milan's games. Besides, you remember that back then there were not so many opportunities, social media, watching football was a bit difficult, therefore, it is appreciable for me that so many people were cheering for "Milan" at that time, and special thanks to the boys for being here today", Kakha Kaladze said.

Former "Milan" player Ricardo Kaka highlighted the success of the Georgian national team and noted that he is a fan of Georgian football."I am in Georgia for the first time. It's a great feeling when you travel around the world, meet Milan fans and see how much they love this team. Participating in this game, reminiscing about the old days and seeing how my former teammates look now is certainly very nice for me and I am also looking forward to today's game. As for Georgian football players, they are a very good, promising generation who play in many strong clubs. Thanks to Kakha, we are big fans of Georgian football and we wish you success," said Kaka.

He also recalled the period of playing together with Kakha Kaladze in "Milan" and noted that Kakha Kaladze contributed a lot to his development.

I moved to Milan from São Paulo, where all my teammates were Brazilian or Argentine, and suddenly I found myself in a team where the best players from all over the world came. It helped me a lot. Kakha Kaladze contributed a lot to my development. Although we played in different positions, it is always important for the game and tactical development when you play in a team with strong defenders, and Milan's defense was the best in Europe. When you have the opportunity to come down, see your friends and play with them on the field, it's very important to me, and once again, I thank you very much for this opportunity," said Kaka.

Another former teammate, Clarence Seedorf, spoke about the success of Kakha Kaladze and his career in Milan."It is not easy to succeed in life even after finishing your career. As for "Kala", as a player, he always supported us on the field, always worked hard, played with dedication, therefore, we did not have to worry about what was happening in the back, in defense, and that's how "Milan" achieved so much success. We were aware of the responsibility that came to us as "Milan" players. It all depended on the people who represented Milan. "Kakhi, as a strong, hardworking person, always counted on us on the field," said Clarence Seedorf.

For information, the veteran team of Georgia will face the legends of "Milan" today at 7 o'clock in the stadium named after Mikheil Meskhi.
