36-year-old interra Henry Mkhitarian shared his memories of his career in Donetsk miners and how the Miners Mirchi mentor Mircea Lucescu influenced his development as a football player and personality.

“I am grateful to Lucescu. He wanted me to be in a miner where he spent three wonderful years. Then I lived on a training base, dreaming of becoming a big player.

He told me that I was sometimes leaving the base and having fun. Thanks to him, I went to Dortmund. He praised me even for the book I wrote, “Mhitarian confessed.

Mhitarian defended Shakhtar’s colors from 2010 to 2013. During this period, he became one of the team leaders and deserved a transfer to the Dortmund Borussia, which paid 27.5 million euros for the Armenian midfielder.
