"WE WANT TO COMPETE WITH RUSSIA, UKRAINE OR SPAIN"

Politics

The correspondent of “A1+” held an interview with Rouben Nazaretyan, chief coach of “Adana” and Armenian footzal (mini football) team. The sides spoke of the team’s victories and losses in the selection phase held in January, 2006. To note, Armenian team enjoyed one victory and was twice beaten.

Mr. Nazaretyan finds the results normal as, in his words, we don’t have normal championships in Armenia today and the choice of the footballists is rather limited. At the same time, he notes that the team consists of young players who displayed excellent participation during the January meetings; they scored goals thus attracting the attention of the European countries. The next meetings of the selection phase are scheduled in October. Rouben Nazaretyan says that he have already submitted the working plan to the federation under which they are to hold 2-3 meetings by October. In May we shall hold friendly meetings with one of strong teams of Russia, Ukraine or Spain. “We haven’t made arrangements yet but I voice hope that the federation will endorse our proposal and the meeting will be arranged” said Mr. Nazaretyan.
