The central defender of the Armenian national team Hrayr Mkoyan told what he expects from the League of Nations match with the Ukrainian national team, which will be held today in Yerevan.
“Now we are faced with the task of leaving the last place in the group standings in order to maintain a residence permit in Division B of the League of Nations. To do this, we need to perform successfully in the two remaining matches - with Ukraine and Ireland.
These are top teams, they have good players. But on behalf of our team, all its players, I can say that we are all very well prepared. I am sure that on Saturday we will enter the field in a good mood and will be ready to ensure that the game ends with a positive result for us.
Once again, I would like to note that the Ukrainian national team has quality players, it is a good team. But in any case, we managed to have a good match with them (Recall that the first meeting between the national teams of Ukraine and Armenia in this League of Nations ended in a crushing victory for the Ukrainians with a score of 3: 0). Yes, we lost, but at the same time we realized that you can play with Ukraine and you can beat it, ”Mkoyan said during a pre-match press conference held yesterday in Yerevan.
