Manchester City head coach Pep Guardiola - about Aleksandr Zinchenko from Ukraine.
"Honestly, it was not an easy decision, but there are other guys who needed to play, someone still has to be uncoupled. We talked with him before the game, he was absolutely ready, but he is young and he will obviously still have chances to play.
I didn’t put him on tactical reasons, he usually plays on the left flank in defense and everything would depend on what would have happened on the field. ”.
"If, for example, Mendy was injured, it would be easier for me to vary the players - Laporte, Stones, Bernard Silva. So it was a tactical decision.. But I want to say that he is excellent at training, playing, and in those matches in which he participated, I am pleased with him, "said Guardiola.
