Henrik Mkhitaryan on the cover of "Shakhtar" magazine (photo)

The latest issue of Shakhtar magazine - in which readers can traditionally find a lot of useful, exciting, outstanding and memorable facts – has been released.

Towards the end of the year 2012, we conducted a survey of the fans, the team veterans and journalists, who determined the best football player of Shakhtar. Henrikh Mkhitaryan was voted the best player of the last year. In the latest issue of our club edition, the Player of the Year told the readers how he used to be the President of the Base, what Armenian criticism means and many more curious facts.

It is hard to remember every significant event that happened during such a long period as one year. In order for the fans to not puzzle their brains, the Hit Parade 2012, which includes the highlights of the past year, is at their disposal.

“Character” is generally known to be a protagonist in a play, a book, a movie, often a fictitious one. One of the best holding midfielders of Shakhtar Igor Duljaj is the character who is more than real, and whose thoughts are based on the solid ground of his life. You can verify this by reading the Serb’s interview in the January issue of our magazine.

Frankness is an appealing feature of a person’s character. And it is twice as pleasing when this is a distinctive feature of a head coach, who never hides behind banal phrases. That’s exactly how we would describe the mentor of Shakhtar U-21 Serhiy Popov, whose thoughts on preparation of our reserve team you would share or not after reading his interview to the club magazine.
