Armenia lost because of poor-quality pitch - Norair Aslanyan

By Vera Martirosyan

YEREVAN. – Armenian squad’s forward Norair Aslanyan is confident that his team lost the Albania friendly because of poor-quality pitch in Tirana.

“The pitch was in bad condition. There were a lot of holes. Armenia’s style is to play short passing. So, we did not play our game,” he said in an interview with NEWS.am Sport.

He noted that Albania had problems, too, but they are accustomed to such a pitch.

“Of course, there are other problems, too,” Aslanyan emphasized.

Asked about the atmosphere at the Armenian squad, the player stressed that they were in good mood. However, Aslanyan said it is difficult to assess his game because he had appeared only for 10 minutes.

Armenia suffered an unexpected defeat in Albania losing 0-2 in a friendly on Wednesday.
