“Zinchenko and Rice are trying to grab the game by the scruff of its neck in that central area. Getting the ﷽ball up the pitch. Running with the ball, Zinchenko’s been very good,” she told .
Gunners should be even more focused for Manchester City clash
Arsenal have hit their first bump in the road of the season. 🎶They will feel that they had the opportunities to kill the game off while t𝓰hey were 1-0 up.
There is no reason why they should not still top their Champions League group. And if anythཧing, the result should motivate them even more ahead of this weekend’s mouthwatering clash with Manchester City.
It is already looking like a pivotal moment in the season. City’s defeat to Wolves last time out suggested that the title race may not be done and dusted after all. And now, there are a host of clubs – incl🍌uding Arsenal – who find themselves within touching distance.
Zinchenko will certainly relish the chance to get one over on his ﷺformer club. He has been superb since his move. And his passion for the Gunners 🙈is evident to see every time he steps out onto the pitch.
