Midfielder Manchester City Alexander Zinchenko spoke about the work under the leadership of Pep Guardiola and his prospects in the team.

In the summer off-season, the 20-year-old midfielder did not retire to another club and decided to stay in Manchester City, where he is currently continuing to fight for the playing time under Josep Guardiola.

On his position in the team and on the work under the leadership of one of the best mentors of the world, Zinchenko told in the YouTube show The third half.

"Discipline in Guardiola in the first place. He does not like very much when they are late, even for 30 seconds, on installations, theories. He does not scold, does not raise his voice, but simply with his whole appearance shows that he is very unhappy. I myself have never been late ".

"There are a lot of theoretical lessons for Guardiola, they last 40-45 minutes, but his mouth just does not close. The coach always tells something, explains. The first 20 minutes you still sit, listen carefully, and then you start to get tired a little ".

"Right now I'm basically playing in the left-back position. In Manchester City, the last defenders play differently than in the teams I played before.

Here, in most cases, they act as supporting midfielders, move to the middle to control the ball ".

"I think that this is one of the key positions in the team and from our actions depends how the team keeps pace, attacks, defends. Running has a lot. My main competitor is Fabian Delph, but the same Danilo can also play on the left in defense. Competitors are enough, "Zinchenko said..

Previously, Josep Guardiola said that he plans to use Zinchenko in the future and wants to leave him in the team at least until the end of the season.
