On Monday chief trainer of the Armenian football team Vardan Minasyan
will announce the names of the team to play in the friendly match with
Moldava on August 12, technical director of the team Ashot Manukyan
told "A1+".
According to preliminary data, the trainer plans to include all
legions who always participate in the team’s matches, including
the Karamyan brothers ("Timishoara", Romania), Ararat Arakelyan,
Henrich Mkhitaryan (both from "Metalurg", Donetsk, the Ukraine),
Roman Berezovski ("Khimki", Russia). But the four football players
are currently going through a hard time because they are fighting
to enter the group stage of the European cups and it is not excluded
that the heads of their groups will appeal to the Football Federation
of Armenia to release their players from the friendly match.
The remaining legions, particularly Robert Arzumanyan and Levon
Pachajyan, are currently looking for a new group to play in because
recently they are not playing in the team games and plan to move to
other teams.
For the first time, Vardan Minasyan called Yeghia Yavruyan who plays
for the "McKabi" of Tel Aviv. He had also called him to play for the
Armenian team, but FIFA had not allowed him to play for the Armenian
team because he had already played in the Russian youth team. Based
on current FIFA laws, football players have the chance to change
their country team once.
