Oleksandr Zinchenko: “When I came to Arsenal, I said in the dressing room: “Forget about getting into the top three. We need to

The Ukrainian defender of the London Arsenal Alexander Zinchenko told what he thinks about the potential of his team and its prospects for the championship in the Premier League this season.

“When I came to Arsenal, I immediately realized that this team has everything to achieve something more than just being one of the leaders. Then I said to my partners in the locker room: “Guys, forget about getting into the top three or something like that. We need to think about the title!“.

Some then laughed at my words, but now no one laughs. Now we all dream of becoming a champion. But we have many more matches ahead of us. Manchester United are back in action, Manchester City are aiming for the title as always. So let's go step by step.

Now we do not pay attention to other teams. We need to be focused on our game. Moreover, there is still a lot to be improved in it. The main thing is that we are on the right track. This, among other things, is evidenced by the atmosphere in the locker room, within the team, in training. Everyone is working very hard. You can come to an Arsenal training session in the morning and then again in the evening, and still see that half of the players will continue after the session is over. It's incredible and perfect. And I think this is a key factor in the fight for the championship, ”Arseblog News quoted Zinchenko as saying.

It should be noted that after the 21st round of the English Championship of the current season, Arsenal is the sole leader in the championship standings, ahead of second-placed Manchester City by five points and having a match in hand.
