Mkhitaryan voted Kicker.de player of the week
Henrikh Mkhitaryan
Borussia Dortmund
When he was asked on Saturday night to describe his role in BVB, Henrikh Mkhitaryan said only: "I'm doing what the coach expects of me." And even much more than that: The Armenians played football to fall in love, unraveled Gladbach defense on such a cheap sweater, lifted the BVB with its exquisite technology and a consistent Torabschluss to the highest level.
Mkhitaryans modesty only admitted later to rave about the "wonderful game" of his own team, his "family". He himself had contributed only the "best for the team". Not for the first time in the new season: After only four competitive games he has his meager yield from the thoroughly wayward previous year (five goals) exceeded six goals and three assists already.
