ENGLAND HAVE NO FOOTBALLER LIKE HENRIKH MKHITARYAN – DAILY MAIL

It would have been good if the English national football squad had a
player like Armenian national team and Ukraine’s FC Shakhtar Donetsk
midfielder Henrikh Mkhitaryan, the British Daily Mail writes.

The prestigious newspaper ran an article on Mkhitaryan. Analyzing the
game of the current England players, the Daily Mail concluded that
manager Roy Hodgson’s squad does not have players like Andres Iniesta,
Andrea Pirlo, and Henrikh Mkhitaryan. Also, Mkhitaryan, together with
his Shakhtar teammates, surpassed London’s Chelsea F.C. in the UEFA
Champions League match.

“Watching Mkhitaryan pull the strings for Shakhtar on Tuesday was
to marvel at how far we have fallen. At the end, Micah Richards, an
England international, blamed the defeat in part on being required
to play an unfamiliar system.

Do you think Eriksen, Mkhitaryan or Willian would worry about that?

That’s football. Thinking football. Could Fernandinho be wrong-footed
by a tweak to Shakhtar’s system? [Shakhtar manager Mircea] Lucescu’s
system destroyed the foundations of British football,” the Daily
Mail writes.

“I should like to see any power of the world destroy this race, this small tribe of unimportant people, whose wars have all been fought and lost, whose structures have crumbled, literature is unread, music is unheard, and prayers are no more answered. Go ahead, destroy Armenia . See if you can do it. Send them into the desert without bread or water. Burn their homes and churches. Then see if they will not laugh, sing and pray again. For when two of them meet anywhere in the world, see if they will not create a New Armenia.” - WS
