Henrikh Mkhitaryan wants to play for "five-six more years"

PanARMENIAN.Net - Captain of the Armenian national squad and Roma midfielder Henrikh Mkhitaryan has expressed hope that he'll be able to play for five-six more years as a professional footballer.

"If I have my way, as long as possible, but that depends on many factors," the 32-year-old playmaker told Sport 1 when asked how much longer he was expecting to remain in the scene.

"At that age it is no longer so easy to take care of your body. My head tells me: You can easily manage five or six years. I hope my body can do it too. But I know that I don't have that much time left. That's why I enjoy every second and soak up everything. At some point it will unfortunately be over. Who knows when."
