The first nit of Antal Yaakobishvili

Antal Yaakobishvili it’s been three years since Girona. The central, who debuted the night that the set of Michel he made history by reaching the quarter-finals of the King’s Cup, he is the first Hungarian to defend the white-and-red first team shirt. Yaakobishvili, international in the lower categories of his country, was born in Budapest a little over nineteen years ago. But he has been in Girona’s youth team for three years. The first two years, in fact, happened to Les Hortes, the club’s residence for its young talents. With his 193 centimeters, he was another student Marists, where he studied high school. On Wednesday, however, he gave a masterclass in Montilivi.

In just forty-five minutes he presented extraordinary records: five of six duels won, five rejections, two interceptions, three recoveries and completed thirty-one of thirty-two passes. To sum it up a little more, he tried to score a goal and narrowly avoided one by throwing himself at the feet of Radamel Falcao, a striker who has experienced a thousand battles. For Antal, this was the first.

“He played an incredible game”, explained Míchel Sánchez, who has shown many signs of confidence in the squad since he arrived in Girona. As the midgets respond in the best way, the Madrid player continues to bet on home talent. “He has been magnificent in attack and defence. He has corrected a teammate’s loss, winning his duel, and with the ball at his feet he has been impeccable. It is a joy that we have people from the quarry to cling to. Like Arnau or Valery. They give us a sense of belonging which is super important for a club”, added the leader of the bench.

Yaakobishvili gave no symptoms that it was his first night. On the contrary, he fit into the team like a glove. With unseemly confidence, he left the upset in the dressing room and, with the support of an insurance com Daley Blind on the side, he acted safely, making good decisions. In the first action, he whistled the ball to him Raul de Tomas. Then, he dared with an excursion to the vicinity of the opposite area, after a good recovery of the ball, where he tried the shot. The most shocking thing, surely, was the fact of advancing to Falcao’s shot, with Rayo Vallecano trying to place a minimal difference in the score that was never possible. Before his debut in the Cup, where he entered the break replacing Juanpe Ramírez, he had been summoned to Beautiful, in the first round; against Atlético de Madrid in the vibrant 4-3 early 2024; and in the duel a Elx.

There is already a schedule for the Girona match at the Santiago Bernabéu

A brother at Barça

The Yaakobishvili family will always remember the set of Vallecasand not only for Antal, who has a brother playing for Barça, theAaron, who is a goalkeeper and who last year was called up for the first time with the first team in the Blaugrana trip against Rayo Vallecano. There are things that must be written.

Both brothers spent part of their training process at the MTK Budapestnext to the danube, and now they are beginning to see certainties in the sacrifice made for so many years. The Girona footballer said, in a post on his accountInstagram, that “it was an unforgettable night! I am very happy for my debut as a professional and for qualifying for the quarter-finals of the King’s Cup. Many thanks to the fans for their support and to the club for their trust. Let’s continue!”

Now that the defensive line is depleted by injuries, it wouldn’t be surprising to see a repeat player who will have to be followed closely.
