Thanks mate. It was a season with up and downs. The overall level of our opponents was pretty high though, so I'm not unhappy :)
Bosna i Hercegovina - Hayastan 0:0
Decent performance by our U27 against a team ~10 points stronger :D Our defensive formation worked well enough. In the beginning we struggled a bit, but the longer the game went the better we became. We needed a strong Narshakyan to keep the clean sheet, although we had a few counter-attacks too. Very nice result! :)
This is our WCQ group (group A)
1. Srbija
2. Sverige
3. Hayastan
4. Andorra
5. Hong Kong
6. República Dominicana
7. U.A.E.
Srbija was our opponent 4 seasons ago already, we got at least a draw there. Tough team though. Sverige is a bit weaker quality-wise, but they have a decent coach. High obstaceles to overcome if we want to play at the World Cup. Also Andorra and Hongkong will not be beaten easily, they have similar team strengths like us. Against Dominicana we should normally collect 6 points and U.A.E. won't gather many points in this group at all.
By the way Jora Nigoghosyan is on TL. With some pm/pass training he can still become a nice mid!

Andorra - Hayastan 0:6
Hayastan - Srbija 2:2
A decent start to the campaign :) I think both results were well earned. We could even have won against Srbija as I felt we were the slightly better side and went up 2-1 in the 86th. Alas, we conceded the equalizer straight away. At the moment we have to privilege to have our best players available in great shape. Now another crucial match against Sverige!

Sverige - Hayastan 0:2
With this victory we climb to a new record position in the NT-ranking (35), but even more important, we go top of our WCQ group. It was not the most entertaining match.. despite our tactic did not really suit best, we were more or less in control of the game. Maybe a bit lucky in the end that Darbinyan scores twice, but all in all I think we created more dangerous situations.
After the good returns from the first three games we now must not underestimate our next opponents.. especially with Hong Kong we had our troubles in the past! But next stop is U.A.E. I hope all players stay healthy and on board!

Hayastan - U.A.E. 12:1
Well, we fulfilled our duty, but nothing more. First half was enjoyable, we played great and it resulted in a 9:0. Second half was a pain then, nothing really worked anymore, good chances missed, Malkhasyan injured and we even conceded a goal in the last minutes. I guess in the end the 3 points count. Now an unusual break where we play a friendly against Israel.

Thanks! :) It was a good start, but it's still a loong way to go with many obstacles to overcome.
Israel - Hayastan 2:3
Good display by our reserves in this friendly against a nominally stronger team. I guess we were a bit lucky in the end with the win, a draw would have been the approriate result. Also nice to see a couple of young players who are close to the main team in action. And the victory takes us to the new record rank of 33.
Hong Kong - Hayastan 0:3
I was a bit afraid of this key game. Hong Kong gave us a lot of trouble in the past. Today it was a solid win, mainly thanks to the class of Kalenyan.. all his work, first a great free kick and then two compelling solo goals. Luckily he got only slightly injured. In the back we showed great solidarity and fighting spirit. Hong Kong could hardly spell any danger on our goal, the only real chance they got in the 90th minute.
Next up is República Dominicana, they proved to be a decent team not only with the today win over Andorra. Hopefully we can stay on the winning track.

Hayastan - República Dominicana 2:1
Not the best match from our side. I'm getting old.. I made a new tactic with some adjustments but forgot to put in the match orders.. Our offensive forces Kalenyan and Sarkhasyan (both slightly injured) were deeply missed. Telunts had a really hard time winning some dribbles and also Darbinyan was not on his usual level. Plus RD changed their tactics somewhat unexpectedly. In the back we were solid, although they scored from their only chance. But we struggled to create good opportunity ourselves. Good thing we had that backup tactic with Kerestejyan up our sleeve which provided the decisive play for the 2:1.
A very successful first half of the WCQ thus ends. Here are some stats:

Could hardly have gone any better so far! We started off tremendously, but in the last few games we struggled to keep up the offensive drive of of the first ones. The defense does really well so far, only 3 shots conceded on average per game is great I think. But we really have to create more and better chances again in the next games. I hope the players will stay healthy and in good shape, then anything is possible. The last match showed how difficult it is if we're not at full strength.

Thank you for your great job in first half of the season!!! We hope that the second half of the season will be as successful as the first and Hayastan will engage high place in the group!!!
República Dominicana - Hayastan 0:2
We got another 3 points, fair enough. Not happy at all with the game though. The tactic lacked optimisation.. not enough control of the midfield, Malkhasyan too defensive and performing quite badly overall. For the class players we had on the field we can do better. And we have to and I hope we will in the next key game against Hong Kong.

Review of the last 3 games
Hayastan - Hong Kong 4:0
I was a bit worried since our best two strikers (Kalenyan, Shalunts) weren't available. Hovivyan did a great job though. In the back we performed solid as usual, up front we profited from an early red card against a Hong Kong defender. Hovivyan had more space thus and used it wisely. Deserved win even with this score in the end. Reward was also a new top ranking position (32).
Hayastan - Israel 1:2
Not a bad effort from our second row. Quite a few older players in the line-up, because the young one's were either out of form or good enough for the main team. The quality gap to Israel was too big this time compared to the first friendly against them a couple of weeks ago. Still we could keep the game open for a long time.
U.A.E. - Hayastan 0:9
I have no idea how we didn't score 15+ goals in this match. The efficiency was even worse then in the first game against them. We had tons of chances and good chances after all. Well I guess it doesn't really matter now, in case of goal difference we can't keep up with Srbija but are ahead of Sverige anyway. I hope Kalenyan saved some bits for the crucial match next week against Sverige. A win would take us to World Cup, but I'd be satisfied even with a draw.. Sverige is still a tough and the better team to play.

Hayastan - Sverige 2:0
We were able to attack this crucial game at full strength - except for our important wingback Takvonyan who is injured. I decided to play our reliable 5-4-1 anyway - with Darbinyan on the wing and Izanyan as support wingback. After four minutes I saw my plans shattered with the suspension of Nersesyan when Izanyan had to move to the middle. Yet the team was up to the task. Sverige had no real chance while Kalenyan wasted a good 1on1 and penalty. Second half brought an early red card again, this time against the opponent. Shortly after they had their only shot on goal from about 30m. Then we gradually managed to get control over the game, but Kalenyan missed another penalty. He found more space after the second red card for Sverige, and used it succesfully in the 80th minute by scoring the 1:0 finally. Only a bit later he sealed the game with the second goal, provided by a great Darbinyan cross.
I'm very satisfied, I didn't think we could control Sverige in this fashion again. Now we're 7 points clear and thus qualified for the World Cup! Let's see whether we even can tickle Serbia a bit. Thanks for your support axpers! :)

amazing work, coach, congrats. to win after a red card in the very beginning of the game, against Sverige... have no words
