Midfielder of the national team of Ukraine and "Manchester City" Alexander Zinchenko after his debut in the Premier League told about the conversation with the head coach Josep Guardiola.

In particular, Alexander talked about adaptation in the club and plans for the future.

"In the first year of my stay at Man City, one of Pep's assistants spoke to me. He said: "Only a few people from Eastern Europe have achieved success here, many have disappeared from their path, they can be counted on their fingers. - For what? For the fact that they feel where the financial side and immediately go astray. Or vice versa: they do not know how to tolerate ". This conversation I always kept in mind.

Pep said that I do not need to go anywhere this winter, that he needs me. What feels - I will play more. For me, these are the most important words. Now I have no thought of leaving, "said Zinchenko.

Recall, Alexander bought the English club from the Russian "Ufa" in 2016, but almost immediately he was leased to PSV.

In the summer, he returned from PSV in Manchester City, but while playing very little.
