"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."
