British Guardian included Henrikh Mkhitaryan in world's top 100 footballers

YEREVAN, DECEMBER 20, ARMENPRESS: Armenian Football player Henrikh Mkhitaryan is in choice of the world's top 100 footballers of outstanding British daily Guardian. Armenpress reports the contents of Jonathan Wilson’s article about Henrikh Mkhitaryan.

“Shakhtar’s player of the year last season Henrikh Mkhitaryan. This season, he’s got even better. Shakhtar had tended to field Brazilians in creative positions and eastern Europeans at the back, but Mkhitaryan has broken that trend, playmaking from an advanced central position and scoring hatful of goals. His time spent operating deep last season has enhanced his tactical understanding and Mircea Lucescu, Shakhtar’s coach, has hailed his work rate in closing down attacks. Mkhitaryan was seven when his father, an Armenia international, died from a brain hemorrhage; he is already, even at 23, accepted as the greatest Armenian player since the break-up of the USSR”.
