However, Paszczynski admits that he was not convinced by Kvaratskhelia's performance in a match against Dynamo Moscow while playing for Rubin Kazan. The crowd was against him, and Paszczynski felt that Kvaratskhelia struggled to cope with the pressure. He made mistakes, lost his confidence, and showed signs of being overwhelmed.

Paszczynski emphasizes that Kvaratskhelia was not the only Georgian player he was evaluating at the time. He also watched Zuriko Davitashvili, and the two players were often discussed among scouts. Paszczynski's assessment was based on his observations, and he had to make a judgment about Kvaratskhelia's potential based on what he saw.
