YEREVAN, FEBRUARY 4, ARMENPRESS: Former "Shaktar" defender, football
expert Aleksandr Sopko declared that "Shaktar" had nothing to worry
about as it had Henrikh Mkhitaryan, Fernandinho and Darijo Srna.
Armenpress reports this was noted by the expert in interview with
Ukrainian journalists, when referring to the transfer of leading
midfielder Willian. He noted it was not a tragedy for "Shaktar".
"Willian has never been the face of the club. That are Henrikh
Mkhitaryan, Fernandinho and Darijo Srna which form it," he said. He
highlighted that Srna is the spirit and esthetics of the team, and
what about Mkhitaryan he is the motor. "While they are in the team,
"Shaktar" has nothing to be afraid of," he said.
Mkhitaryan played in 2-0 2012 Super Cup victory over Metalurh Donetsk.
In his first match of the 2012-2013 Premier League season, he netted
twice and provided two assists in a 6-0 season opening victory against
Arsenal Kyiv. He managed a hat trick against Chornomorets Odesa in
a 5-1 win to reach 10 goals for the season after just six games,
equaling his tally for the previous season.
