I think that all the guys who came out today in the starting lineup did not disappoint, they gave a rest to those who played with Scotland.
A very good match, we played for our country in order to rehabilitate ourselves for the defeat in the last match. Yes, Armenia had chances, the first half was 50 to 50, during the break we were pointed out our mistakes, after which we went to the second half and corrected everything.
My goal? Yes, I hit a corner, between the players, I'm very glad that it happened. This is my first ball. I am very proud to play for my national team, for my country, now we have a very difficult situation. I score very rarely, but such moments are not forgotten. There are a lot of messages from family, from friends, from people I don't even know. I read, it's very nice.
I am very motivated, I want to stay, to gain a foothold in this squad, so I will do everything for this. And today he did everything to stay in the team.
We have a very good team, everyone treats each other well, senior partners help young players, give advice. We have a very good atmosphere in the team.
