Biography
Early years
Parents come from Sukhumi . When Jikia’s mother was pregnant, the family was forced to flee from her hometown due to hostilities in the region [3] .

He was tired in his position, did a lot of work. A football player with good potential, it is difficult for him to break into the composition, because Zanev is playing.

Career in the national team
Jikia had the right to play for the national teams of Russia and Georgia, but in the end he decided to play for the national team of Russia [24] .
| I talked to him 20 times. Jikia was free to come and get a Georgian passport in one day. We had a meeting with the administration of the President of Georgia, and an agreement was reached on this issue. Jikia was supposed to come, but suddenly he called and said that he could not come. He did not set any conditions for us, as they say in the media. Please stop speculating on the subject of Jikia. Just remember the story of Ananidze : a man came and began to play for the national team. Jano put his homeland in the first place [25] .Alexander Iashvili |
