Any team that can hammer Slovakia 4-0 away and get another four against
Macedonia must be respected, it's really all about the Irish players
and their approach tonight, according to the Irish Independent.
In an article describing the Armenian football players' brilliant
performance in the 2012 qualifiers, the author of the Irish publication
asks whether the fans who will throng the Aviva Stadium tonight get
the worry beads out.
"Not if the Irish players perform to their capabilities," he says,
quoting former international striker Frank Stapleton as saying that
they have a decent work ethic and demand respect with the results
they have achieved.
Speaking about the Armenia team's coach Vardan Minasyan, the author
says that the former assistant to Porterfield is benefiting from
the ongoing development of good talent at under-age level to bring
Armenia to a new level.
"The Irish team went to Armenia in their opening Euro 2012 qualifier
and escaped with a 1-0 victory, courtesy of a 76th-minute goal by
Keith Fahey.
Since then, Minasyan has overhauled his team to the extent that only
six of the players who started against Ireland in September of last
year featured from the outset in their 4-1 win over Macedonia last
Friday," he said.
For those underestimating the Armenian player's potentials the author
recalls that the team caught Slovakia on the hop, with the latter being
over-confident after emerging from Dublin with a hard-fought draw.
