Chancharevich Deliberately Let In Those Goals: Gegham Nazaryan

Happy are those who did not watch the national football team's match of Armenia. Indeed, happy are they. This was written on Facebook by MP Gegham Nazaryan, commenting on our national team's loss to North Macedonia.

"As for me, I watched it; I have to watch it and I cannot understand how it is possible to lose to a North Macedonian team that was playing with ten men and is in terrible form. Football is the only sport that brings a bit of joy to at least some people in this incomprehensible reality. This is not how you should behave. You cannot entrust the goal to a goalkeeper who, although good, tends to make critical mistakes regularly. Both goals were due to his fault. He deliberately let in those goals. Before those goals, he even attempted to let in a goal several times, but the ball did not reach the net.

I cannot understand Petrakov, who replaced Ranossian, Sevakian, Tiknizian, and Selarayan. If he wanted to see what happens to the team without those players, he could have asked, and we would have told him. In short, we were once again disgraced. No, losing in football is not a disgrace, but it is a disgrace to lose to an obviously weak team in poor form that played half the match with ten men.

Some may say, 'but the country is in this or that state, the region is boiling, and so on, what football is there in this situation?' But if you do not understand what football is and the powerful influence it has on the country's rise, then I will not waste time explaining it. Football leaders must take their job much more seriously. Indeed, if you play like this, it is better not to play at all," Nazaryan wrote.
