We must put an end to the internal disagreements in football - Hovhannes Abrahamyan (video)
Former football player Hovhannes “Onik “Abrahamyan, the former head of “Ararat-73” legendary team, told A1+ TV journalist."When it comes to the victories of" Ararat-73 ", I first of all remember the first Secretary of the Communist Party of Armenia Karen Demirchyan. He had previously played football from the team “Polytechnic,” so he was very devoted to the sport. With his immediate support, Dzoraghbyur sports complex was built, where all the conditions for training for "Ararat" team were created. Karen Demirchyan was always saying, "Always keep working and invest everything that you have in success." He speaks about Armenian football with regret. “First, without state support, I believe it's impossible to develop football in the country. Secondly, the managers of football should be demanding. It’s not only about calling or appointing the coach. The manager should always keep them in control, demanding a result. Also, our coaches’ and players’ attitudes towards their work are not serious. For example, the most simple element in football is to throw the ball over the edge. However, most of our players still do not know how to throw the ball to their partner. It seems that either the players do not listen to the coaches, or the latter are indifferent. In order to succeed in football you have to take all the details into account. " Hovhannes Abrahamyan believes that Armenia has all the conditions for the development of football, but it also needs a desire and proper work. “Recently, I heard about the disqualification of Arkady Andreasyan for two years because of a little argument with the referee or a little thrust. But it often happens in football because it is a wild sport and very often the participants are not able to hold back their passions. The managers should understand that we lose Andreasyan, who was just a revolutionary player in the game. We must put an end to the internal disagreements and become united, thinking about the development of Armenian football together,” concluded the famous veteran.
