My Take
I think of Henrikh Mkhitaryan as football's quiet intellectual. Coming out of Yerevan, hardly a global football powerhouse, he climbed through Dortmund, Manchester United, Roma and now Inter Milan, a path few from Armenia ever walk. Being his nation's all-time top scorer says everything about how long he carried that flag. At 177 cm he was never an imposing physical force, yet his vision and passing consistently bend a match in his favor, and that brain is what I admire most. The honorary citizenship of Yerevan feels earned. He's a player who embodies his homeland's pride.
