Oleksandr Zinchenko, the £32 million Arsenal player, received commendation from Arsenal icon Lucy Ward for his performance during the Champions League match against Lens.
Ward noted that Zinchenko’s relentless efforts in driving the ball forward were a positive aspect for Arsenal in the game, suggesting that without him, Lens might have scored more than two goals.
Despite not showcasing his best form, Zinchenko was described as attempting to take control of the game and propel Arsenal forward during the challenging tie.
He made 69 accurate passes and demonstrated effort in advancing the ball up the pitch. Ward also praised Zinchenko’s collaboration with Rice in the central area and their attempts to push the game in Arsenal’s favor.
Despite the loss, Arsenal’s focus now turns to the upcoming clash with Manchester City, and Zinchenko, formerly from City, is expected to bring his passion and dedication to the pitch against his former club.
