According to Armsport, the Armenian midfielder of Inter Milan, Henrikh Mkhitaryan, gave an extensive interview to the Italian daily Corriere della Sera.
Mkhitaryan spoke about his self-critical nature, working with Jurgen Klopp, education, language skills, as well as the loss of his father and the importance of family.
— Is it true that you are writing a book?
— Yes, but I have just started. I have a lot to tell about my career and life.
"Are you reading?"
"Yes!" Now I have started Zidane's biography, and recently I finished a book that talked about 5 important goals in life.
— Is it true that you used to turn off your phone 3 days before the match in Manchester?
— No, it was in Ukraine. But actually, I used to turn it off after games because I was analyzing my game and being very self-critical.
"Is it like that now?"
— No, but I use the phone as little as possible. I have two small children and I don't want them to see how I spend time with the smartphone in my hand.
— Was Klopp working on your excessive self-criticism in Dortmund?
— Yes, he is a great coach, but first of all, a great psychologist.
he told me not to take all the responsibility on myself, to quickly forget mistakes and defeats, always thinking about the next game.
