We regularly get bad news about the coronavirus pandemic, especially from Italy and Spain. In terms of the number of cases, Spain has surpassed even the epicenter of this disease - China. We talked with Tito Ramallo. Spainish, who worked at "Urartu" FC from 2015 to 2016, spoke about the epidemic, protection against it, about "Urartu", Joaquin Caparros and much more.

 

WE ARE LOCKED AT HOME, THIS IS THE ORDER OF THE GOVERNMENT

 

- We get bad news from Spain. What is the situation now?

- This is really a very difficult situation, because in our country there are many cases of infection and death, especially among older people. Now everyone is trying to improve the situation, and we strictly follow the advices of medical organizations.

- How do you protect yourself from coronavirus?

- We are locked at home. This is a government order issued to the public. We do what is required from us. This is a really difficult time, because the number of infected is big.

- It is senseless to talk about football.

- Of course, now the whole world is paying attention to this epidemic, and measures must be taken to prevent it. Football is now secondary. Although at home there is an opportunity to work. I am currently watching more players using the "Instat" and "Wyscout" platforms.

 

I THINK "URARTU" MAY REACH TO THE FINAL OF THE CUP

 

- Nevertheless, let's talk a little about football, where are You now and what are You doing now?

- Last season I returned to "Deportivo", until June 30 I coached "Deportivo B", then I worked on technical issues at the club. At the moment I am free.

- Do you follow the performances of "Urartu"?

- I actively follow the championship of Armenia, especially the performances of “Urartu”. By the way, taking this opportunity, I want to say hello to everyone. In Armenia and especially in “Urartu” I had a good time. I wish the best to this club. I know that now the team is fighting for the Cup. In the first semifinal, the team lost 1-0, but I think nothing was lost. If the players read this interview, I want to tell them that they must be sure that in the return game they can change the situation and reach to the final. There is such an opportunity.

 

TEAMS OF CAPARROS ALWAYS ARE ENERGETIC AND COMPETITIVE

 

- Many Spanish specialists are currently working in Armenia. What can you say about them?

- Yes I know. I can say that they are all very competitive specialists. I am glad that a large number of Spanish coaches work in Armenia.

- Spanish specialist Joaquin Caparros was appointed head coach of Armenian national team. What can You say about him?

- I worked with Caparros in "Deportivo" and I can say that he is a coach with great experience which can be productive for Armenian national team. He always gives a lot of intensity to his players. The teams that he leads are always energetic and competitive.

- Thanks for the interview. We wish you good health in this difficult time.

- Thank you very much. I wish the same for your country. May "Urartu" achieve new successes. Hugs.
