As we have previously reported, Armenian national team head coach
Vardan Minasyan announced the list of players, who will prepare for
the friendly match against Luxembourg. The match will take place on
the 5th of February in Valence, France. FFA official site spoke to FC
Ufa striker Mikhail Markosov, who is among players invited to Armenian
national team for the first time.
- How did you react to the invitation from Armenian national team?
- Of course, I was very glad. In spite of the fact that I play in
Russia, Armenia is my historical motherland and it's a great honor for
me to receive call-up from Armenian national team.
- When you started to score goals at "Ufa", did you expect the
invitation from Armenian national team?
- Of course, I had a hope, but didn't expect it will happen so soon.
- If you start to play in Armenian national team, you will be
considered as a "foreign" player in Russia. Did you have any
hesitations accepting the invitation from Armenian national team?
- I was sure I had made a right decision. I decided that I would go
till the end. Playing in the national team is another level, a unique
chance that one has to use. Besides, if the player is strong, he will
find his place, even if he is a foreigner.
- What are your expectations from upcoming friendly against Luxembourg?
- To tell the truth, I can't say anything about our opponents, as I
haven't watched their matches. As for our national team, of course I
have seen several matches and I know how our team plays. However, the
most important thing during this training camp is to get acquainted
with the teammates and coaches and to get used to the team.
- Do you think you will get a chance to play against Luxembourg?
- I think if the coach has invited me, he expects something from me.
As it is a friendly match, the coach will probably give an opportunity
to everyone. As for me, I will try to meet expectations of the coach
and prove that I deserve to play in Armenian national team.
