Oleksandr Zinchenko, an Arsenal player, issued a warning to Mykhailo Mudryk, a teammate from Ukraine, prior to their Premier League match against Chelsea.
Zinchenko’s caution to Mudryk was decisive in Ukraine’s victory against Malta. On Saturday, Arsenal and Chelsea will square off. AHEAD OF TIME? The former full-back for Manchester City warned his countryman in a lighthearted manner that the Blues will suffer serious repercussions if he scores for Chelsea against Arsenal during their Premier League match this weekend. Mudryk’s contribution to Ukraine’s 3-1 victory over Malta in the Euro 2024 qualifying round was also praised by Zinchenko.
WHAT THEY SAID: Zinchenko said, “I told him, ‘If you do or attempt to do that on Saturday, I’ll rip your balls off,'” in an interview with Ukraine’s media channel following the game. However, securing three points was the most crucial thing for us. I’m really happy for him and the national team; Mykhailo’s goal was essential in that it somewhat eased the tension in the match. THE LARGER IMAGE: The 22-year-old former star of Shakhtar Donetsk finally scored his first goal for Chelsea in the team’s 2-0 Premier League victory over Fulham earlier this month.
TWO PHOTOS: IMMEDIATELY AFTER? In a crucial Premier League match on Saturday, Mauricio Pochettino’s Chelsea will play an in-form Arsenal team under Mikel Arteta.
The loss to Chelsea’s star player, who was about to upset Arsenal’s defense, dealt Mauricio Pochettino a serious blow. Arteta has an amazing opportunity right now.
Next, Stan Kroenke, the owner of Arsenal, has told Mikel Arteta and the sporting director to forget about Ivan Toney and instead invest in this “terrific” player, who Pep Guardiola fears. “We will spend our money on this player and not on Ivan Toney again.”
