Henrikh Mkhitaryan, Marcos Pizzelli on UEFA European Under-19 Championship in Yerevan

Midfielders of the Armenian national football team Henrikh Mkhitaryan and Marcos Pizzelli participated in the draw for the final stage of the UEFA European Under-19 Championship to be held from July 14 to 27 in Armenia and shared their impressions, reports NEWS.am Sport.

“I’m very happy to represent my country as an ambassador. When I was under 19, I would wait impatiently for the U-19 matches because they would help me gain experience. Participating in this championship is a great opportunity for Armenia, and our footballers need to enjoy it,” Arsenal’s midfielder said.

“Armenia’s national football team is a favorite since it’s playing at home. There are great expectations. All the matches at this level are hard, but the goal of this championship is to identify the new players who are like Mkhitaryan, Marcos and Ghazaryan,” the Kazakh Aktobe team’s footballer Marcos Pizzelli noted.

The U-19 team of Armenia was included in Group A and will be playing with the teams of Portugal, Italy and Spain, while the teams of France, the Czech Republic, Norway and Ireland will be playing in Group B.

The UEFA European Under-19 Championship will be held at Republican Stadium, Avan Football Academy and Banants Stadium in Yerevan.
