Henrik Mkhitaryan, a midfielder of the Armenian National Football
Team and Donetsk's Shahkhtar, has talked to the Ukrainian club's
journalists ahead of the team's scheduled match in London.
Henrikh, you had to follow the recent match from the tribune because
of being disqualified. Do you sympathize for the team more when you
are there?
I sympathize differently. It isn't pleasant, of course, to find
yourself absolutely of no use to your teammates when they are playing,
though you are very eager to. So you worry more than the footballers
on the playground
Do you feel Shakhtar is leaving for London as a leading team?
We are going there to play Chalsea. We are going to demonstrate all
our might on the playground. If manage to attain positive results,
we will be front-runners.
What was unique about the meeting in Donetsk a fortnight ago?
We had prepared very well for that meeting, but the football in London
will be a completely different one. I am sure Chelsea has carried
out an in-depth analysis of our football, studying us better. We are
going to face a very difficult meeting.
The Champions League meetings differ from the Cup competitions,
with both teams wishing a victory ...
Yes, they games are, of course, different. But playing with teams is
more interesting than competing with the same rivals in the Cups. You
can always have mistakes in the Cup matches, and yet, very often go
unpunished; it's a 50/50 possibility. But a mistake in the champion's
league is most likely to end in a missed goal.
Do you mean mastery is better reflected in such games?
Yes, as you feel you have no right to be mistaken. You need to be
better concentrated.
