I could play in Juventus some day – Armenian international footballer

Italy’s La Stampa interviewed Armenian national football team and Ukraine’s FC Shakhtar Donetsk midfielder Henrikh Mkhitaryan, who scored Armenia’s only goal against Italy during the two teams’ 2014 World Cup Brazil qualifying Group B match, which was played at Armenian capital city Yerevan on October 12 and the Azzurri had defeated the hosts by a score of 3-1 

“I’m still young and I could play in Juventus some day. Now, however, I will try to prepare for the December 5 game against Juventus in Donetsk. I was very happy to score a goal in the match against Italy. Sadly, that wasn’t enough, but we lost to the greatest team.  

I, too, certainly would like to play in Serie A, but all those matters need to be resolved after the season with Shakhtar.

My idol was Zinedine Zidane. He used to play in Juventus when I was a kid,” La Stampa quotes 23-year-old Henrikh Mkhitaryan as saying.
