Mkhitaryan: I am completely focused on Armenia national team games

Manager Varuzhan Sukiasyan and captain—and Borussia Dortmund (Germany) midfielder—Henrikh Mkhitaryan of the Armenia national football squad, which have arrived in the US, on Wednesday met with reporters in Los Angeles.

First, the team head coach and player thanked the organizers of Armenia’s friendlies to be played in the city, and expressed the hope that the stadium will be packed with spectators during their matches against Guatemala and El Salvador.

Subsequently, the journalists posed questions to Mkhitaryan, according to the Football Federation of Armenia website.

“It will be a good experience for us to play against Latin American teams,” he stated. “We will try to perform in the best way in the matches.

“It should be taken into account that we have a squad that is beginning to form.
“If you are trying to do some work, you must do the maximum.

“I am completely focused on the games of the national team of Armenia, and only then will I think about my club engagements.

“Perhaps, one day I will play here [in Los Angeles], and I’m confident that I will feel the Armenians’ support in the stadium.

“I underscore the fact that the [friendly] matches will be charitable, and the proceeds will be given to the fund for children with various diseases and the homeless [children] in Armenia.”

On Saturday and on June 1, the Armenia national football squad will play friendlies against Guatemala and El Salvador, respectively, in Los Angeles.
