YEREVAN, DECEMBER 20, ARMENPRESS: Armenian Football player Henrikh
Mkhitaryan is in choice of the world’s top 100 footballers of
outstanding British daily Guardian. Armenpress reports the contents
of Jonathan Wilson’s article about Henrikh Mkhitaryan.
“Shakhtar’s player of the year last season Henrikh Mkhitaryan. This
season, he’s got even better. Shakhtar had tended to field Brazilians
in creative positions and eastern Europeans at the back, but Mkhitaryan
has broken that trend, playmaking from an advanced central position
and scoring hatful of goals. His time spent operating deep last season
has enhanced his tactical understanding and Mircea Lucescu, Shakhtar’s
coach, has hailed his work rate in closing down attacks. Mkhitaryan
was seven when his father, an Armenia international, died from a
brain hemorrhage; he is already, even at 23, accepted as the greatest
Armenian player since the break-up of the USSR”.
