"In the episode with Mykolenko, I was really angry. Zubkov and I were talking about why the Moldova defender should jump in such a situation. It was a friendly game, we are preparing for Euro 2024. The Moldovan national team has a vacation afterwards, so why do this? What are you proving to whom? It could have been avoided," Zinchenko was quoted as saying by the Vzbirna telegram channel.
