ArmInfo."This is a question of politics, and I don't quite understand how to solve it," Unai Emery, head coach of Arsenal London, said at a press conference after the match with the Burnley club, answering the question about the chances of Heinrich Mkhitaryan to play in the League Final Of Europe.
"We want him to play. He had a good match with Burnley, and we are ready to do everything that is needed for him to go on the field. I don't know how much is possible from the point of view of politics," Arsenal coach said. According to him, the reasons why the matches are held in a certain place are unclear. "Three years ago, in the super cup, my team met with Barcelona in Tbilisi. It was the same - 2 Spanish teams went to Georgia. This is a problem for the fans, our clubs have a lot of them. Three years ago we played against Liverpool "in the final of the Europa League in Switzerland, the fans had a full stadium, and it was amazing. I don't know why the final was decided to be held in Tbilisi. In addition, each club was given only 6 thousand tickets with a stadium capacity of 70 thousand. I think the stadium will be full but not Arsenal and Chelsea fans, " Unai Emery emphasized. He added that he didn't know about problems between countries, but the club is going to include Mkhitaryan in the application for the final. "The question does not concern sports, and not everything depends on me, I don't see a solution," Unai Emery emphasized.
To recall t the English football club Arsenal, which includes midfielder and captain of the Armenian national team Henrikh Mkhitaryan in the Europa League final on May 29 in Baku at the Olympic stadium should meet with another English club - London Chelsea. UEFA assured that Mkhitaryan will not have problems with the visa and security. In turn, the Association of Football Federations of Azerbaijan confirmed that the player will not have problems with entry and stay in Azerbaijan.
