<p>Discarded by Lyon for his stature, compared to Papin, he is the leader of the promotion in Ligue 1 of the grenade. Now he is preparing for the big leap, hoping to make history with him as his Neapolitan "brother".</p><p>Khvicha Kvaratskhelia's boom in the Italian championship draws on a clear and evident rhetoric: talents exist even in the least considered terrestrial globes. And our ballooning world, during the course of events, has known figures from every single corner of the planet. A sort of Risk, even if the conquered lands replaced the magic of the ball at your feet, as in the case of the Napoli winger. Here, Georges Mikautadze can be the Georgian 2.0 to follow in the footsteps of the new Italian champion. With one goal: to make history.</p><p>Born in 2000 and French by birth (but naturalized), his story is made up of escapes. The first, and most important, from Georgia due to the conflicts with Russia. And in this sense, the family contribution was decisive, defined by himself as a "sacrosanct value", thanks to mom Latia and dad Lasha, experienced parents who have always accompanied little Georges in his football growth. For them it will be the "pride" of the family. They arrive in France in 1998, the year of the home World Cup, with their older sister and little brother. At the age of 4, Giorgi lives on bread and football: every afternoon he loses it building a 'wall' under his house, in the Jean-Macè district of Lyon. From there the first call, two years later, to Gerland (2007-2008), the real springboard to then end up representing the city team, Olympique Lyon. Story of a love never found, which resulted in the second escape. Or rather, in waste because it is too small physically. "I had technique, I was skilled in front of goal, but I was only 140 centimeters and my size was too small," Mikautadze would say a few years later, when those feelings of (non) guilt about my height became strengths to take the flip. Today, with 24 goals and 9 assists in 40 seasonal games, Giorgi is confirming yet another unwritten law of football: even without a physique, the obsession with talent will always win.</p><p>The discovery of the Metz—</p><p>We are in the north-east of France, in Metz, the main urban center of the former Lorraine region. There football and history are an absolute unicum. Myth and sense of belonging are the leitmotif for the players' growth and research path: the cases of Koulibaly, Manè, Adebayor and Pjanic, all people who wore the grenade shirt, are the snapshot of a team of talent scouts recognized throughout France as the best. Mikautadze is only the latest great discovery, dating back to 2017 when Metz took him at the age of 16 from the Saint-Priest youth team after two years of ups and downs. By nature he is a center forward, at least the number 9 on the shirt indicates this. Seeing him play, however, he is the classic offensive wiper: a pure right foot who, like his "brother" Kvara, loves to decentralize to the left and then return and kick. There are similarities with Napoli's 77 - seeing is believing on Youtube -: above all, the ability to score in all ways. With the head, with the right, with the left, from outside the area. The unofficial data speaks of 100/150 total goals scored in the various Unders, testifying to a player who feels the door like few others. A habit refined in the 2020-21 season with Seraing, a Belgian club, with which Giorgi scored 15 times in the first 9 games, ending the year with 19 goals and a promotion to the top flight. The Metallo d'Or, an award given to the best player of the team, and the nomination in the best 11 of the season were his calling card to convince Metz not to sell him permanently. Even if, before confirming with the French, the class of 2000 had another year (last) of Erasmus always at Seraing, this time in the Jupiler Pro League: 9 goals and a salvation conquered the end of year balance. For Metz, the training process was completed and last summer they were entrusted with the keys to the attack that should have opened a door 9 months later: that of promotion to Ligue 1, which arrived on the last day thanks to the home win against Bastia for 3-2. The result of a memorable season, in which Mikautadze stepped into the guise of the doc driver, obtaining the recognition of best scorer in Ligue 2 with 23 goals.</p><p>Between comparisons and idols—</p><p>The labels have never touched him much: "The new Lacazette" said his former coach Samir Guemazi at AS Saint-Priest; others venture a comparison with Papin for his whimsical and energetic way of eating up opposing defenses. In short, two bricks on his shoulders which, however, never weighed on him. On the other hand, if you have Ibrahimovic and Cristiano Ronaldo as idols, you handle your personality like the sole with the ball. Destiny has it that on March 26, 2021, on the occasion of Sweden-Georgia (1-0) valid for qualifying for the World Cup, Mikautadze made his debut with his national team at a time when his idol was leaving the field. Just enough time to make eye contact, get the goosebumps of having been this close to playing it on the same lawn and then off, dancing with the shirt of his country, Georgia, the one he feels more than him. "When I was summoned, I didn't hesitate, my family there was extremely happy for me." Some of his celebrations recall the "siuuum" of CR7, others, but few, Lookman's binoculars, which in Italy caused so much discussion. Giorgi, on the other hand, has always remained himself, so humble as to demonstrate that, under that small size that so much repudiated him, a future champion is hidden. He went from being that kid who waved the Champions League ball in midfield during the great European evenings of Juninho's Lyon, scrutinizing the scent of legends like Messi and Henry in the locker room, to a little man with a dream in his drawer of breaking through once and for all all.</p><p>Chelsea are already looking for him—</p><p>The big Europeans have already set their sights on him. From France we talk about Chelsea, who certainly doesn't hold back when it comes to opening their wallet. But Arsenal are also thinking about it. In Italy, on the other hand, he is strongly followed by Genoa, which could play all-in with promotion to Serie A, and by Udinese, a serious club that thinks of replacing Beto in the event of a sale. Never before has the Georgian national team attracted so much attention as this year and the reason, easily understood, lies behind the extraordinary nature of Khvicha Kvaratskhelia, a year younger than Mikautadze, who has been able to restore value to the concept of "dribbling" in Serie A. The road has been sown, now Giorgi can't wait to retrace it with all his meters and seventy-six. Hoping, between one feint and another, to be able to become the alter ego of the "Georgian Maradona".<br></p>
