''Mika''to train in Spain
The Yerevan "Mika" football club will hold its last match in the Spanish city of Malaga before the upcoming series of competitions. Chief secretary for "Mika" Armen Petikyan told "A1+" that the team will most probably hold three trial matches in Spain.
"Mika" is currently in the Turkish city of Antalia from where the Armenian football players will return tomorrow night. "Mika" played four trial matches and lost three of them-one of them being the match with the Belarusian "Minsk" team (1-2).
Upon returning to Yerevan, chief trainer of "Mika" Ivo Shushak is planning to give the players a two-day rest and then continue the trainings in Yerevan. On February 27 the team will leave for Malaga where it will hold its final instructional/sport match.
"Mika" added new players to the team since the Armenian championship in 2008. The club has signed contracts with 8 new football players who are considered as candidates for the big league. Seven players have left "Mika" and one of them is Arkadi Chilingaryan, who has transferred to the Lebanese "Salam" team. Chilingaryan's trainer is the former chief trainer of "Mika" and the Armenian national team Suren Barseghyan.
