Alexander provoked the conflict with his appearance.
At the start of this season, London’s Arsenal gave their fans a lot of reasons to rejoice. After four rounds, the Gunners single-handedly top the Premier League standings. And it seems that with the updated line-up, the team can really claim a place in the Champions League four.
Oleksandr Zinchenko, who moved to the Gunners this summer, played an important role in these Arsenal successes. The Ukrainian immediately became the basis of the team and gives all his mental strength to the new job. The football player helps the club not only on the field, but also beyond it, supporting teammates in the most important moments.
True, not everyone knows the team’s newcomer at the Emirates. At the match against Fulham, the steward mistook the player … for a local hooligan.
Only the guards saved Zinchenko from detention!
Helped the Gunners back to the top
The summer transition of Alexander Zinchenko to the Arsenal camp was considered by the bosses of the London club a great success. The Ukrainian footballer was supposed to help the “gunsmiths” in the fight for the Premier League medals. From the very first meetings, the player received a place in the starting lineup from Mikel Arteta.
But for the home meeting with Fulham in the 4th round, Zinchenko was not even in the application. The thing is that in one of the training sessions, Alexander pulled the ligaments of his left knee. The coaching staff, on the advice of doctors, decided not to release the Ukrainian to the game, so as not to aggravate the damage. The football player watched the match against the “summer residents” from the bench.
The match was difficult for the team from North London. The Gunners conceded first and for a long time could not come forward. Jesus, who distinguished himself only in the 85th minute of the game, brought Arsenal a long-awaited victory.
The Emirates stands exploded with cheers. The Arsenal players did not restrain themselves in their emotions either. All the players went to the corner flag to celebrate the goal scored. Forgetting about the pain in his knee, he threw himself into the arms of his teammates and Zinchenko. It was here that a funny incident happened to the Ukrainian.
The steward was stopped in time
Alexander, not getting into the application for the game, did not dress in the colors of the “gunsmiths” and dressed in all black. Zinchenko’s club affiliation could only be determined by the small team logo that was depicted on the athlete’s T-shirt. This circumstance played a bad joke on the Ukrainian.
The steward girl mistook the newcomer to the London team for a fan who decided to illegally enter the field. Rushing to his teammates, the Ukrainian inadvertently provoked a stadium worker, and she rushed to cut across the player. But the senior comrades from the security service kept the girl in time, and she could not interfere with the stormy celebration of the Arsenal footballers. It is not known what would have happened to the fair sex if she had not been stopped in time. Zinchenko, despite the absence of the application, was too emotional that evening.
So, at the end of the game, Alexander entered into a tough skirmish with the reserve referee. As a result, the emotional Ukrainian was dragged away from the judge and seated in place by members of the coaching staff and teammates. It is good that the steward girl did not fall under his hot hand.
