MKHITARYAN 85TH IN THE GUARDIAN'S TOP 100 FOOTBALLERS FOR 2014
12:23, 22 Dec 2014
Armenian midfielder Henrikh Mkhitaryan is ranked 85th in The Guardian's
top 100 footballers for 2014. Mkhitaryan is placed between Isco
of Real Madrid (84th) and Jose Callejon from Napoli (86th). Led
by Hernan Crespo, Gilberto Silva, Slaven Bilic and Dietmar Hamann,
the panel of 73 experts from 28 nations compiled a countdown of the
greatest players on the planet this year.
"An underwhelming year for Dortmund means Mkhitaryan hasn't enjoyed
a particularly sparkling year, but when on form the Armenian number
ten remains extremely exciting. He specializes in finding space
between the lines and arriving late in the box, and he has a very
precise, deliberate style with his passes and shots. However, it
was Mkhitarayan's goalscoring ability from midfield which made him
so valuable, and his efficiency in the final third has completely
dried up. Jurgen Klopp has often deployed him in a deeper position
than usual, but no goals or assists in his last 17 Dortmund matches
summarizes Mkitarayan's struggles," The Guardian writes.
