18-year-old Dynamo midfielder Arsen Zakharyan shared his emotions after he was called up to the Russia national team for September qualifying games of 2022 FIFA World Cup.
— I was happy when I found out that I was called up by the new head coach of the national team. Last time I failed to completely feel the atmosphere of the national team. Now I will work and try to live up to the confidence of the new coach.
Of course, I hoped to be in the squad of the main national team but tried not to think about it and concentrate on my performance and results of Dynamo. I gave my everything in the RPL matches. Now we have two more games in the league and all my focus is on them. I will think about the national team afterwards. For the moment all my thoughts are about the match in Yekaterinburg.
