Henrik Mkhitaryan, who had come to Metallurg Donetsk from Pyunik Yerevan, showed a brilliant football in matches of the junior national team of Armenia and Ukrainian club in this season.

The youngest

Mkhitaryan is the first football player in the history of Armenia who became the best player of the year at the age of 20. In 2009 Henrik improved his mastery and as a result became a key player not only of Metallurg but also of his national team. In his junior national team Mkhitaryan became a real leader having scored 4 goals. This year Mkhitaryan started in Pyunik where he played 9 matches and kicked 11 goals. In Donetsk he played 16 matches and scored seven goals. According to the survey in which presidents, coaches, captains of teams and sport journalists took part, Mkhitaryan considerably leaved  behind him Hrayr Mkoyan defender from Ulisses who took the second position. The third position occupied Sargis Hovsepyan .

Unexpected recognition

Mkhitaryan said after he had received his award: "To be honest I did not expect such result of voting. Every football player dreams to be the best in his country. But I will not rest on my laurels: football player must strive for new victories".
