I want to help the Armenian national team progress. My contract is until the end of the World Cup qualifying round. I'm not thinking about anything else yet.
The head coach of the Armenian national team, John vant Schip, spoke about this at a pre-match press conference.
On June 9, the Armenian national team will host the Montenegrin national team.
"The atmosphere in the team is good. You journalists are with us these days and you can see what the atmosphere is like. Of course, the boys, as well as I, are disappointed with these defeats, the defeat against Kosovo and the score. We need to fix the situation and try to perform better in tomorrow's game."
Not much has changed in my activities and coaching. I have coached both average and higher-level teams. It takes time to adapt. We need to try to raise the level of the team. I am 61 years old and have achieved fame both as a football player and as a coach. My main task and goal in Armenia is to help this team. I want to help the boys of the Armenian national team advance.
Almost all the players are under our attention. It was difficult to get in touch with Balekyan, but we didn't plan on it at this stage. Khoren Bayramyan can be useful to us, but we didn't plan on him at this training camp, nor did we consider Balekyan.
Tomorrow's lineup will probably be more balanced, maybe the players who were in the previous game will come out on the field. We can't change all 11 players to ensure freshness.
"My contract is until the end of the World Cup qualifiers. I'm not thinking about anything else yet. I'm not thinking about what people say after defeats. I probably shouldn't think about that either. I'm trying to take care of my team's business," said John vant Schip.
Let us remind you that our team lost to the Kosovo team in the previous friendly match with a score of 2:5.
