Armenia - Cyprus - 2:2
Goals: Ranos (51, 59) - Karo (43), Christofi (83).

- It was a good game. A lot of information for me. I watched five new guys, I took some risks. I don't have any more control games, only official ones. You know what we are talking about. Let's say, the result is 2:2 - not bad for spectators in principle. Frankly, I really wanted to win, but, you see, once again I failed.

What was the impression of the game of Ranos, who scored a double? One big request to journalists - do not praise the guy too much. Because the blood in his veins is Armenian. Then they disappear for a while and you won`t find them, you`ll drag him out for six months if you praise him now. We've been watching this guy. I watched him play in WyScout and gave him the green light to be in the team.

We worked on the standards. We're a small team. I told him that if the ball is fed from the goal, you have to take a step forward about a meter and a half. I warned the goalkeeper that he has to command and speak. It's no use - the serve is coming, and everyone is standing upright - like nailed down," Petrakov said on the YouTube channel of the Football Federation of Armenia.
