Arsenal defender Kieran Tierney, who last season lost his place in the main squad of the Canaries to Ukrainian international Oleksandr Zinchenko, spoke about communication with his main rival in the team for the position of left wing-back.
Oleksandr Zinchenko and Kieran Tierney"Even since last season, I have been trying to adapt to the tactical model of the game, which Arsenal now require from a wing-back. And Alex is a shining example of how to realise such a model. So if there is anyone to learn from, it is Zinchenko. That is what I did. We talked a lot with him on this topic, I asked him a lot of questions and Alex always patiently explained everything.
It really seemed to be a kind of training, because it is something completely new for me, I have never played with a shift to the centre of the pitch before. So I still have a lot to learn in that respect," DailyMail quoted Tierney as saying.
