Paris Nizhny Novgorod head coach Sergei Yuran commented on the statement of the Ukrainian coach of the Armenia national team Alexander Petrakov, who said that his team’s midfielder Edgar Sevikyan plays as a defender in the Nizhny Novgorod club. Yuran quoted his words Sports24.
Did Petrakov say that we use Sevikyan as a centre-back at the club? Of course, it is strange that the national team coach does not follow his team’s matches at the club. Then Petrakov would have realized that Edgar never played as a center back for us,” Yuran said.
After six matches in the 2024 European Championship qualifiers, the Armenian team is in the penultimate place in its group, having collected seven points. On November 18, Alexander Petrakov’s team will play against Wales. Sevikyan took part in one match of the Armenian national team without scoring an effective goal.
