"WE WANT TO COMPETE WITH RUSSIA, UKRAINE OR SPAIN"
[06:39 pm] 02 March, 2007
The correspondent of `A1+’ held an interview with Rouben Nazaretyan,
chief coach of `Adana’ and Armenian footzal (mini football) team. The
sides spoke of the team’s victories and losses in the selection phase
held in January, 2006. To note, Armenian team enjoyed one victory and
was twice beaten.
Mr. Nazaretyan finds the results normal as, in his words, we don’t
have normal championships in Armenia today and the choice of the
footballists is rather limited. At the same time, he notes that the
team consists of young players who displayed excellent participation
during the January meetings; they scored goals thus attracting the
attention of the European countries. The next meetings of the
selection phase are scheduled in October. Rouben Nazaretyan says that
he have already submitted the working plan to the federation under
which they are to hold 2-3 meetings by October. In May we shall hold
friendly meetings with one of strong teams of Russia, Ukraine or
Spain. `We haven’t made arrangements yet but I voice hope that the
federation will endorse our proposal and the meeting will be arranged’
said Mr. Nazaretyan.
P.S.
`A1+’ urges its readers, especially those living abroad, to send
