Armenia's head coach Alexander Petrakov answered in his own style one of the questions at the press conference after the Euro 2024 qualification match against Turkey (1:1).
Photo: gettyimages.com- The question is about Vahan Bichakhchan. Was his replacement related to the fact that he was injured. Because we saw that he had problems with his arm. If not, why did it happen that it was him and not Lucas Selarrajan who was replaced?
- Why? Because I am the head coach. The question is a bit strange, to be frank. I make a decision, somewhere I get it right, somewhere I make a mistake, I take responsibility. And when you sit and are not under pressure, it seems to you that you could have played this way or that way. When people sit on the couch and tell you how to play, what substitutions to make - I think it's wrong.
His arm was sore, he was tired. I have a good footballer, his friend Artur Serobyan. He is a young footballer, who moved to the Portuguese championship. I trusted him, gave him the opportunity to come on as a substitute. What did I do wrong or bad?
