Armenia duo Henrik Mkhitaryan and Roman Berezovski spoke to UEFA.com
to express their admiration for Sargis Hovsepyan after the defender
recently won the last of his 131 caps. This is a brave new era for
Armenia as the national team grapples with life after Sargis
Hovsepyan, the side's captain and ever-present figurehead who called
time on his professional career aged 39 last month. Modest and
unassuming, Armenia's most-capped player made 131 appearances for his
country. His final outing came in September's 1-0 loss to Bulgaria in
FIFA World Cup qualifying, and he was typically understated about his
career as he stepped away from the limelight. "I don't think I'm a
legend," he said. "I simply did my job." After making his debut in
Armenia's first international against Moldova in 1992, and
establishing himself among the favourites at FC Pyunik and FC Zenit St
Petersburg, the central defender was a key figure in some of the
national team's proudest moments. "There were periods when no one
believed in our national team," goalkeeper Roman Berezovski told
UEFA.com, having first played alongside Hovsepyan for Armenia in 1996.
"People believe in us now and have great expectations. Everyone has
high expectations." Those raised expectations are a testament to
Hovsepyan's career, influence and legacy, and Henrik Mkhitaryan holds
his retired skipper in similarly high regard. For the exciting young
FC Shakhtar Donetsk schemer, Hovsepyan remains nothing short of
Armenia's "eternal leader".
