Giorgi Mamardashvili is eagerly anticipating his Liverpool debut in the upcoming Carabao Cup match against Southampton. The Georgian goalkeeper joined Liverpool from Valencia in the summer for £29 million and has spent nearly three months settling into life both on and off the pitch at Anfield.

Mamardashvili feels he has adapted well, benefiting greatly from the support of teammates like goalkeeper Alisson Becker. Growing up, it was a dream for him to meet stars such as Alisson, Virgil van Dijk, and Mohamed Salah, and now he finds himself training alongside these world-class players. He expressed amazement at the quality within Liverpool’s squad, describing it as "really crazy."

Despite his admiration for the team, Mamardashvili is focused and determined to compete for a place in manager Arne Slot’s starting eleven. Having been patiently waiting for his opportunity, he emphasized his readiness and commitment to working hard every day, regardless of whether he plays or not. His excitement for the debut is palpable as he looks forward to his first official game for Liverpool.

Manager Arne Slot is expected to rotate his squad for the Carabao Cup tie, which has opened the door for Mamardashvili’s long-awaited debut, reflecting the club’s confidence in his abilities following a solid pre-season.
