On the eve of the match of the 12th round of the championship of England Arsenal - Burnley, the head coach of the visiting team Vincent Kompany singled out in the opponent's line-up Ukrainian Oleksandr Zinchenko, with whom they worked together at Manchester City.
"I must admit I am impressed with the tenacity with which Zinchenko has fought to establish himself as a Premier League star at Arsenal. Zinchenko is a good example because at the start of his career at Arsenal, many people would have bet against him.
"Yes, at Manchester City he didn't shine like he does now at Asrenal, but what people didn't see behind the scenes was that he was one of the most tireless and hard-working players I've ever played with," the Mirror quoted Kompany as saying.
