Henrikh Mkhitaryan reveals his plans during World Cup and unveils the secret of speaking 6 languages

Arsenal midfielder and Armenia national team captain Henrikh Mkhitaryan has spoken about his future plans and World  Cup in an interview with Ria Novosti. The player has stated that he would be watching World Cup matches from a stadium with great pleasure but his tough schedule doesn’t allow him to do so. As we know English is the 6th language you speak in and you learned the language two years ago after joining Manchester United. Why do you learn so many languages? "To speak in 6 languages wasn’t priority for me. Just my life has developed in this way. “I was born in Armenia and the first language, you understand, became Armenian. Then our whole family moved to France where my father was invited to play and I started speaking French very soon. Russian comes from my grandmother, Portuguese I learned during my time in Portugal –four months. German I learned when I was playing in Bundesliga side and what refers to English, I have to use this language now. Each new language is given easier than the previous. How much efforts do you spare to play in elite clubs for so many years. “Very much. As long as I remember myself, I used to spend much time on training ground. I even had misunderstanding with my friends because of this problem. They blamed on me that I didn't have time to meet them, go to parties were I was invited, wasn't interested in their lives. And it was always very difficult to explain them that my life is football and they also should understand me. Did they understand you? “Yes, they did. It was not so long ago, but they admitted that I was right when I chose football. They are now even very proud of me. No more offence. Have you ever heard from others: Where are you rushing, man? From Armenia? “Yes it happened. But I never paid attention on them. The most important was that I knew what I wanted. And now I know. “For my plans’ realization I can sacrifice all that is required. Not all the players can easily sacrifice. Don’t you agree? “It depends on a player,” Mkhitaryan said.
