English football is really different to football in other countries.
From Henrikh Mkhitaryan
As tough as it was for us with my father gone, my mother and sister were always pushing me. They even let me go to Brazil by myself when I was 13 to train with Sao Paulo for four months.
I dreamed of being like Kaka, and Brazil was the home of that creative style, which the Brazilians call ginga.
The Brazilians are amazing in their nature. You cannot describe it; you must feel that warmth when you're around them to understand.
When I returned to Armenia after four months in Brazil, I was still quite skinny and weak, but I had technique and skill.
I think the first goal can be weight off your shoulders.
I went a long way to play in Manchester United, so nothing will prevent me from achieving my dream.
I will not retreat; I will find the strength to reach my goal.
My time with my father would be very meaningful, but also very short.
When I was six years old, my parents told me that we were moving back home to Armenia. I didn't really understand what was happening. My father had stopped playing football, and he was at home all the time.
