Oleksandr Zinchenko he couldn’t contain himself and in the face of Arsenal’s victory over Liverpool in the great match of the 10th Premier League, the Ukrainian international let himself go to the stands. The perfect opportunity came with Saka’s 73rd-minute penalty that ruled the Gunners’ success and the consequent confirmation of leadership in the classification, plunging the reds into a deep crisis that has no end. What happened in the stands at Emirates Stadium quickly went viral and shared by other Gunners fans.
The absolute protagonist of Arsenal’s success over Liverpool on the pitch was, without a doubt, Bukayo Saka author of a decisive double for the final by 3-2 against the reds. Twice the hosts took the lead, twice they were accompanied by Klopp’s men who, however, after the penalty of the Londoners’ third advantage, threw in the towel. Also thanks to protests over the decision that triggered a fight in Arsenal’s area, in anticipation of the bitter post-match controversy surrounding the contested episode, which was then decisive for the score.
Also enjoying the spectacle from the stands at the Emirates Stadium was Oleksandr Zinchenko, who had to miss the match through injury, forced to watch his new teammates as a simple fan. Arrived in London in the summer for £30 million, Zinchenko has always known what it means to challenge Liverpool, whom he has clashed with repeatedly during his time at City, winning and losing titles. So, in front of his teammates’ third goal, he was completely carried away, becoming even more darling of his new fans.
From the amateur photo of a cell phone by a fan close to the Ukrainian national team you can perfectly see the exact moment the defender explodes in all his joy: Saka is on the spot, shots and scores. The stadium explodes and when footage reaches Zinchenko he can be seen with his arms in the sky screaming a very clear scream “Come on guys!” liberator. Then a new cry with which he unleashes all the tension of a match always on the verge of balance. Images that soon circulated the web on social networks and elected Zinchenko as the new champion of the London fans who were lost in praise and applause: “He perfectly embodies the spirit of this Arsenal”, “Zinny is already one of us”, “In just two months he is already a perfect gooner”, “This man gives his life for Arsenal, what a player!”
Actually in just two months, Zinchenko embraced the Gunners universe with multiple episodes that made it a fan favorite. In addition to his indisputable qualities on the pitch, which is why Arteta asked for him out loud and the direction made the most important economic sacrifice in the entire summer transfer market, the former City player came to prominence precisely on the occasion of his final speech in Manchester. , once his transfer to Arsenal was made official. Then the pitch, with five games in the Premier League and one in the Europa League, to make a contribution despite several physical problems. In the middle, his story linked to the Russian-Ukrainian conflict, which he never wanted to hide from the world, between deep emotion and immense pain. A man with great and genuine feelings. Spontaneous. Like the moment of irrepressible joy at the Emirates Stadium.
