    "FOOTBALLERS LONGED FOR VICTORY"

    Most football fans are disappointed with Armenia's defeat at the
    recent Armenia-Turkey match. It is not strange that Hrazdan stadium
    began emptying after the second goal.

    The match was a good lesson for our footballers, fans and the whole
    nation. We all chanted "Victory!" before the meeting without weighing
    our confined chances to victory. We shouldn't cheat ourselves,"
    said 35-year-old Samvel Harutiunian.

    Many were indignant at the empty tribunes of the stadium.

    "No seat was to be left vacant on that day. When our footballers
    appeared on the field they became disillusioned with the empty
    tribunes. It is really discouraging for a team that rarely plays in
    its homeland. If I were a footballer I would also get disappointed,"
    said 27-year-old Arayik Sedrakian.

    29-year-old Harutiun Margarian thinks we should forget the defeat
    and get prepared for the upcoming match with Spain. "It was a hard
    blow for all of us but we shouldn't give up. I think our boys lost
    the match as they longed for victory," he said.

    "I think we were to cheer up our footballer throughout the match. We
    should always stand our team as our footballers took the defeat to
    heart," said Ashot Minassian.
