DON’T WE NEED A VICTORY?

Sports

Alexei Mikhailichenko, the chief coach of Ukraine youth national football team, considers that the result of the yesterday’s selective match was not important for the Armenian youth football team. “I am aware that you have a new coach and I think it is more important to establish a good team. The result and the position in the match list are secondary for you now. But we fight for the next stage and have no right to lose a score, since serious fight is going on between Czech and Turkish national teams”.

In Mr Mikhailichenko’s opinion, both Ukraine and Armenia did not demonstrate their capacities properly. “It is impossible to show spectacular match in such hot weather. The Armenian team played well only in the first half of the match”.

Mikhailichenko was dismissed from the field for arguing with the judge. “It was strange that the 4-th judge dismissed me. I don’t know whether he was competent to do that or no”.

Varuzhan Sukiasyan, the chief coach of the Armenian youth national team was discontent with the play of his team. “Our footballers have not recovered after the meeting with the Czech team on Saturday. The bad physical state was felt in the second half of the match. We made two careless mistakes and allowed the opponent to defeat us”.
