13:36 10.01.2013
Sport-Express, a leading sport publication in Russia, has recognized
Armenia and FC Shakhtar midfielder Henrikh Mkhitaryan the winner of
its annual contest Zvezda (Star).
The prize is awarded to the best player on post-Soviet space. The
23-year-old Armenian was voted the best by 22 out of 45 journalists
taking part in the survey.
“I don’t feel a star,” Mkhitaryan said in an interview with
Sport-Express. He said was pleased to accept the award, but added
that it was impossible to achieve anything alone. “Any individual
prize is the achievement of the whole team,” he said, thanking all
his teammates.
Yura Movsisyan, another Armenian national team player who joined
Moscow’s Spartak in December, was ranked 12th in the survey.
