The Armenian champions "Pyunik" went to Hungary, where the first qualification match of the Champions League against Minsk "Dinamo" will take place in the city of Mezőkövesd.
The defender of the Armenian team, Mikhail Kovalenko, who has Russian citizenship, again failed to obtain a visa to go to the game. We remind you that he had the same problem last year.
Today the team flies to Hungary for the first match in the Champions League, and I stay in Yerevan. I again failed to get a visa – very upset, it is very frustrating when you put so much effort, go such a long way to the goal. What to do, it remains only to believe that it will be for the best. I always try to find the positive in any situation, it always helps me. I want to wish the team good luck, a good game, and of course victory! Guys, I believe in you, go "Pyunik," wrote the defender on his Telegram channel.
All the new players of the team went to Hungary with "Pyunik": Alemao, Vladislav Kulach, Joao Paredes, Agdon Menezes, Martim Maia, and Taron Voskanyan.
