Gor Malakyan

Gor Malakyan (Armenian: Գոռ Մալաքյան; born 12 June 1994) is an Armenian footballer who plays for Ararat.

Style Of Play

Malakyan currently is a defensive midfielder of playmaking pedigree. Besides his tackling and marking (defensive IQ), he makes the difference mostly because of his passing and dribbling - more often than not making contact with the ball in the deep midfield, to either pass or dribble past defenders and give shape to the offense's first few touches. Such resources could be for instance spotted easily in Armenia's epic 3–2 win over Montenegro for the 2018 FIFA World Cup qualifiers, imposing his "touch and go" passing on his teammates. Technically gifted and in a position where there are not many Armenian players at his level, Malakyan is set to be one of Armenia's near future biggest talents.
