Oleksandr Zinchenko has disclosed a hitherto hidden facet of Arsenal's leaders in the locker room.
The international from Ukraine transferred from Manchester City to Arsenal during the summer 2022 transfer window for a cost of £32 million.
Zinchenko has called attention to the team's unsung heroes, who are essential to its success.
With 69 points after 28 games in the Premier League, Arsenal is presently in first position. Nevertheless, Manchester City, which is in second place with 61 points and a game remaining, is not far behind.
Zinchenko has emphasized the value of leadership in a team and how it extends beyond just having an impact on the field.
The 25-year-old thinks that team leaders can be found in a variety of positions, including those who don't play as much but still inspire, encourage, and counsel their colleagues.
The left-back has cited Mohamed Elneny and other underappreciated players as being crucial to Arsenal's success.
Elneny may not be a regular starter for Arsenal, but he is always there to help out and mentor his colleagues as required.
Zinchenko thinks that every team's success depends on having leaders like Elneny in the locker room. According to Daily Mail, he said:“Because it’s impossible – impossible – to win the game, title, competition, whatever, by yourself.”
The Ukrainian international underlined the value of teammates helping one another both on and off the field. He presented an illustration of what it would be like if someone was playing while their backup was sitting alone and not interacting with them or assisting them.
The remarks made by Zinchenko emphasize how crucial it is for each player to contribute to the success of a team. Giving your teammates encouragement, direction, and enthusiasm is just as important as scoring goals or creating assists.
