Most football fans are disappointed with Armenia's defeat at the
recent Armenia-Turkey match. It is not strange that Hrazdan stadium
began emptying after the second goal.
The match was a good lesson for our footballers, fans and the whole
nation. We all chanted "Victory!" before the meeting without weighing
our confined chances to victory. We shouldn't cheat ourselves,"
said 35-year-old Samvel Harutiunian.
Many were indignant at the empty tribunes of the stadium.
"No seat was to be left vacant on that day. When our footballers
appeared on the field they became disillusioned with the empty
tribunes. It is really discouraging for a team that rarely plays in
its homeland. If I were a footballer I would also get disappointed,"
said 27-year-old Arayik Sedrakian.
29-year-old Harutiun Margarian thinks we should forget the defeat
and get prepared for the upcoming match with Spain. "It was a hard
blow for all of us but we shouldn't give up. I think our boys lost
the match as they longed for victory," he said.
"I think we were to cheer up our footballer throughout the match. We
should always stand our team as our footballers took the defeat to
heart," said Ashot Minassian.
