Urartu-2 defender Artur Melikyan spoke about the training camp in the UAE, the matches held and their significance․

PREPARATION PERIOD IN THE UAE

“The preparatorion period is going well, sessions are sometimes heavy, all conditions have been created for gaining physical shape: a swimming pool, good food - everything is at a high level here. This camp also provides an opportunity for newcomers who have joined the team to adapt, and also understand each other well on the pitch."

ABOUT FRIENDLY FIXTURES

“The two teams we have already played with were very different from each other: in the first match LaLiga HPC team played more initiative football, and we probably moved slower due to the workload, I think that was the reason for our defeat. And already in the match with Liwa Football Club we were already initiators, the opponent often descended, thanks to which we were able to score a goal. Before the end of the training camp, we plan to hold one more friendly fixture. These international matches are a great experience for us, especially for young players, and they also improve our conditions."

ABOUT TEAM CONDITIONS

“In my opinion, the team is prepared for the championship, we train twice a day, which helps to maintain good shape in the future. We should expect the maximum from the team, we will try to take high positions in the championship."
