Ukrainian defender of London Arsenal Oleksandr Zinchenko spoke about the importance of results in matches against direct rivals in the fight for the championship title - with Liverpool (3:1) and Manchester City (0:0), and also noted the good competition in his team.
Alexander Zinchenko"I won't lie, Arsenal's results in matches against direct rivals have given us a lot of confidence. It's 100 per cent. Because it shows that we are ready to fight for the title and ready to compete with the best teams in the world.
Was the result against Manchester City psychologically important? Yes, of course. It is not easy to play against City away. Nor is it easy to play against Liverpool. It shows that Arsenal are ready to fight for the championship.
The fact that we have good competition in every position is good for us and for the team. We all need to fight and work hard to earn this opportunity to play every time," The Guardian quoted Zinchenko as saying.
