Armenia lost through the fault of fullbacks
"Armenia lost to Turkey 2:5 as the Armenian team lacks high-class fullbacks," Chief Coach of Armenia U-21 Flemming Seritsle.
"Out of four defensemen only Karen Khachatryan plays in the main team. Others don't play in Armenian teams. As you know the Armenian championship is far from being the strongest," notes Mr. Flemming.
Asked whether the choice of the goalkeeper Edward Hovhannisyan was wise, Mr. Flemming said: "Both Edward and I thought that he was ready for the match. I think that he cannot be blamed for the goals. The defence was to be more careful."
The Danish coach was much discouraged with the defeat of the Armenian team.
"All footballs feel sorry for the match outcome. But I must also give an appraisal of the boys who didn't give up and competed till the last moment."
