World 2018 After the Armenia-Denmark match of the home spherical of the championship, the post-match press convention of the top coach of the Armenian nationwide workforce Artur Petrosyan occurred within the press convention corridor of the “Republican” stadium named after Vazgen Sargsyan.
– Mr. Petrosyan, did the workforce deserve a giant defeat?
– I don’t assume: We began the sport properly, however we could not combat for the ball on the second ground as a result of the opponent’s gamers have been too tall. Our errors allowed us to equalize first, then after a second mistake, they bought a penalty and took the lead.
– The image of the sport within the first and second half was virtually the identical. If we have been in a position to assault within the first half, one thing was hindering us within the second half. The change of Araz Ozbilis was in all probability aimed toward introducing sharpness up entrance. What went mistaken on the offensive finish and did Araz Ozbilis reside as much as expectations?
– Whenever you attempt to begin an assault and the primary go instantly seems to the participant of the opponent, then it is rather tough to develop an assault. Let me say extra: if you play the second sport towards the background of fatigue and also you lose the ball, after which you must run again with the entire workforce, there comes a time when your energy isn’t sufficient. That is why we put Araz on the sphere to obtain the ball, make a go and why not, if doable, shoot on the purpose. Sadly, it did not work out for him.
– Yesterday we talked about the issue within the central defender place. Virtually all European groups have tall central defenders. Additionally, our switch fee may be very excessive. How ought to these gaps be stuffed?
– Let me point out as soon as once more that we had 4 days, and it is rather tough to vary one thing throughout that point. It ought to be taught from childhood and labored on in golf equipment. We have been interrupted by a technical glitch. We have been shedding the ball too early, and towards an opponent like Denmark, that is a significant issue. You must play towards tall soccer gamers with a quantitative benefit. We had that benefit and we neutralized 97-98% of their passes, and in these 2-3 vital events we couldn’t get the proper place and let the opponent rating.
– Mr. Petrosyan, was there a mistaken choice relating to the beginning line-up and if that’s the case, wherein place?
– I feel there was no mistake. We performed with the gamers we had. We had no different choices in protection. Within the offensive line, it was not a nasty choice for Ruslan Koryan to enter the sphere, as a result of he performed an excellent sport. Regardless of the tiredness of Tigran Barseghyan, Sargis Adamyan began the sport, who did numerous work. Artak Grigoryan and Artak Yedigaryan additionally didn’t take part within the final sport they usually additionally did a number of work. The unhappy factor is that each sport we make compelled modifications. We don’t change something with them, the modifications of Koryan and Hayrapetyan have been compelled. Gael Andonyan additionally performed with ache till the final minute. I requested him if he wished to be substituted as a result of we solely had one change and Gael stated he may play till the tip.
– Within the second match, you make consecutive tactical modifications. Can or not it’s stated that you’re getting ready for a brand new part?
– If I proceed my work right here, you possibly can say so (laughs-ed.). It was virtually the identical tactical formation as towards Romania. This time, once we had the ball, Koryan performed as a second striker, and when the workforce was defending, he performed subsequent to Mkhitaryan.
