In an interview with Sportbox.ru, Armenian national football team’s Brazilian member, and newcomer to Russia’s FC Kuban, Marcos Pizzelli, spoke about his journey from Brazil’s second division to Russia’s Premiere League.     

“This truly is a miracle. I could not even dream that I would be in Europe one day and play on international level. I did everything to use my opportunity. I moved to Armenia. It was scary to be at such unfamiliar environment. I did not have a translator. But I surmounted the most difficult part of accommodating, and I only positively recall my life in Armenia. I am thankful to that country and those people for everything I have. You cannot imagine my emotions when the President of the Football Federation of Armenia offered me a spot in the national squad. My dream is to play in Armenia’s national team at the World Cup in Brazil,” Marcos Pizzelli told Sportbox.ru.
