After the victory over the Alashkert Football Club (3-1), the head coach of Urartu Aleksandr Grigoryan spoke about the state of the team and the newcomers․

ABOUT THE GAME AND TEAM'S CONDITION

“We played a very good match, because I paid attention first of all to those sides that we developed in the team. Our team is very young, we have a lot of new players, probably 60-70%% of all the guys and we have been working together for 2 weeks. I think we looked pretty good for a two-week collaboration. Maybe Alashkert FC played with us under stress, it was clear that they were not as fast as usual, but I pay attention first of all to our team. I liked our game both in the first half and in the second, we played a new system with 3 central defenders, maybe not everything worked out, but taking into account that it was a new system, we looked very good. And when we switched to 4-4-2, everything turned out even better, I was pleased. I think that absolutely all the players who came on as substitutes only strengthened the team's game."

ABOUT DESIRE AND POLIAKOV

“Taking into account the fact that Desire has benn only a few days in our team, and he spent only two trainings in the main group, it's already clear that we have acquired such a striker for a reason, his potential is very high, he is our future leader. Including Poliakov: the fact that he scored two goals is not for nothing, he is also our current leader in attack. In general, we see that today, in fact, only one player of the attacking line was eliminated, this is Kobzar. He is one of our strongest players, probably today was not his day. But in general, there are no complaints about the rest."
