Zenit graduate Mikhail Kovalenko, who plays for the Armenian Pyunik, shared his expectations from playing in the Champions League.
– Reaching the third qualifying round of the Champions League is the best result not only for Pyunik, but for the whole of Armenia. After all, no club, in principle, did not reach the third round of the Champions League. Everyone dreamed about it and was waiting for it. We are very happy that we were able to do this. I want to keep breaking records.
We are in the mood to move on. We have already passed two rounds, personally I want us to go to the group stage. Football is just interesting and unpredictable in that any team can beat any. On the third of August, a significant moment will happen for me – before the game, the Champions League anthem will sound. It is very pleasant to play in such an atmosphere, – quotes the words of Kovalenko “Championship”.
Pyunik will play with the Serbian Red Star in the third qualifying round, the matches will take place on August 3 and 9.

Former star of Real Madrid and the German national team Toni Kroos He determined the favorites of the World Cup and evaluated the chances of Brazil and Germany:
“World Cup? The main favorites are Spain, Portugal, France and Morocco. I’m not talking about Brazil, but it could happen. It’s good that a large number of teams are participating, but I am now against increasing the number of participants. We need to protect the players and the quality of the tournament. With more teams there will be obvious scores and these are not the kind of matches that fans want to see. Quality matches are important for me, not 5:0 or 6:0. Players come to the tournament tired and play more matches, the level drops a little.
Is Ancelotti in Brazil? He could have left a year ago, but he stayed at Real Madrid. I talked to him throughout the summer and wished him luck. He really wanted to coach Brazil, I hope everything goes well for him. Brazil has top-level players like Vini with valuable experience.
Neymar? The important thing is when it is 100%. He may experience a lack of rhythm in the game due to the injuries he has experienced in recent years. Now he’s injured again, he only has 6 months left. If he is fit he can help any team in the world.
Team Germany? I think Germany is always among the favorites, but not among the main ones. “I’m sure they will at least reach the quarter-finals or semi-finals, but the level is a little lower, although everything is possible in football,” he said.
