To say that Giorgi Mamardashvili has broken all odds since his Dinamo signing Tbilisi is a reality that no longer surprises anyone. In his first season as a Valencian player, the Georgian has played 14 games leaving great performances under the sticks against important rivals like Athletic and even taking ownership to an international with Holland as it is cillessen for several days. However, both the player and the club believe that he has a great growth margin For this reason, they work on very specific aspects that lead them to be even more competitive, if possible.
And one of those aspects is the exit in aerial balloons. With his almost two meters tall (1.97) one of the handicaps that the goalkeeper has accused has been your doubts at the time of dare to leave the goal and pounce on a ball hanging in the area, something that on the other hand may seem normal being only 21 years old and having spent just under nine months in Spain. In any case, Bordalás finished little satisfied looking like that when weeks ago before him Alaves and the Barcelona the goalkeeper ended up with zero good outings and therefore without stopping any of those balls hanging into the area.
And said and done, after a conversation with the goalkeeper in Paterna focused on this work with him so much by way of individual (something that was obviously already being worked on, but on which more emphasis was placed), as well as group level Well, Bordalás has been squeezing his team in recent weeks in set-piece defense… E Goading Giorgi what do I know dare to go out more of the goal and take advantage of his height. And of course, the result was not long in coming, against Majorca first and against Athletic Later, Mamardashvili improved greatly in this aspect, beating the goalkeeper of the rival goal in aerial exits (4-0 against Sergio Rico and 2-1 against Agirrezabala).
The other aspect that is trying to improve with Giorgi is that of the long displacement… And things also seem to be changing. In the last two gamesagainst Getafe and Elche, the Georgian has achieved nine good throw-ins, more than against Barcelona, Alavés and Athletic. Precisely before the elche, the goalkeeper left the goal to zero again, the seventh time this course Of the 14 games he has played, a more than acceptable balance if you take into account that the team has conceded 43 goals.
In the club they know that Mamardashvili must continue working in many aspects, but they are not only happy with his level, but also with the room for improvement it exhibits. The slogan is clear: it must get the most out of your body since in terms of agility under the sticks he has shown to have the level.
