Armenia captain about players, coach

Armenia captain about players, coach

Henrik Mkhitaryan: I wish we could work and play together for many years and reached new heights.

Prior to the UEFA EURO 2012 qualifier against Russia, Armenia captain Sargis Hovsepyan, in a conversation with PanARMENIAN.Net, introduced his team-mates and commented on each player's features and role in the team.

PanARMENIAN.Net - Roman Berezovsky is the best goalkeeper in the history of Armenian national team. He seems quiet but actually he is fond of joking. Roman always encourages his team-mates, whatever the score could be. The fact that he is protecting our rear is gives us confidence.

Robert Arzumanyan is a smart player. He is not just running after the ball but guessing what will happen next.

Hrair Mkoyan practices a rough style of play. His winning trick is kick with his head.

Artak Yedigaryan is a trained sportsman. He is modest and skilful. He is a good pass maker and often helped Pyunik score goals. He is very quiet and calm.

Levon Hayrapetyan has played just several matches with the national team. He is clever and educated but has not reached the peak yet. Anyway, he shows good football. I think we will still see what he is capable of.

Herrik Mkhitaryan is not just a midfielder. I think he can play various roles, even in defense. He is clever and talented and this helps the team a lot.

Karlen Mkrtchyan is the one who we rely on. Maybe, his activity is not very vivid but he does the dirty work and supports our middle line.

Arthur Yedigaryan is our strength. He is a tough player and strong kicker. He is the engine in the middle of the field. Arthur is a good friend.

Levon Pachajyan is our terminator. He is extremely strong and just an iron man.

Marcos Pizzelli is technically strong and has been the best striker of the team for several years.

Gevorg Ghazaryan is very talented. He has a great potential to develop. I think he will be a member of some famous club in several years.

Edgar Manucharyan stands a good chance to join some first-class foreign club. He is one of the most skillful players and deserves a place in a powerful FC.

Yura Movsisyan Armenia has for a long time waited to have a forward like Yura. He takes the slightest possibility to score a goal. He is our support and irreplaceable striker.

While Sargis Hovsepyan refused to characterize himself, Henrik Mkhiratyan came to the aid:

Sargis Hovsepyan wears the captain's band and this fact speaks for itself. He is the most experienced footballer in the team and we always need him. He is of great assistance in each match and his presence makes us more vigilant. Sargis serves as an example both in the ground and beyond it.

About Vardan Minasyan: No team can exist without a coach, who bears a great responsibility. He has proved that despite being young he can train his men and achieve results. I wish we could work and play together for many years and reached new heights.
