Chancharevich on Speaking Armenian and the Match Against Chelsea

The goalkeeper of the Armenian national team and Noah, Ognen Chancharevich, gave an interview to Metaratings.ru after the victory over Latvia in the group stage of the Nations League.

— What feelings do you have playing for Noah?

— You will play against Chelsea in London within the framework of the Conference League.

— That match will go down in the history of Armenian football. We are looking forward to these games with great excitement. I regret that the other two Armenian clubs could not advance to the main stage of the Conference League. I am confident that this will happen in the future. We are preparing very seriously for the Conference League. In our match calendar, we have both strong and equal opponents. The opening match is at home. We will do everything to earn 3 points.

— Your teammate could have scored from the midfield, but the ball hit the crossbar. About a month ago, you scored a similar goal. Is this becoming the Armenian trademark?

— Yes, that is starting to enter our routine (laughs). Perhaps he watched my scored goal and got inspired. It was actually a very good shot; unfortunately, there was no scoring.

— Is it true that you know Russian?

— I speak Russian fluently, and even Armenian.
