Oleksandr Zinchenko has talked about the characters within the Manchester City dressing room, claiming that there remains work to be done despite the success he has enjoyed during his time at the club.
The 25-year-old has made 112 appearances across all competitions since his first full season in Manchester, following a season on loan at PSV Eindhoven after he signed for City in 2016.
In a recent interview with CityTV this week, the full-back has reflected on his time in the City dressing room and how he was taken aback by the humility within one of the most star-studded squads in world football following his arrival at the club.
“It's a dream to be close to these players. You always want to learn and try to get as much as you can," said Zinchenko.
"Obviously, I knew (when he signed for City) I was not going to have a lot of game-time with some of the best players in the world at the club, and still, I know I need to work hard a lot to try and get close to them and I'm still trying to learn."
The Ukranian also added:
“I suppose I expected these superstars to be a bit different, but they were so simple and I call it 'class' because when you go high as a sportsman and you take a massive step forward, you still need to be humble.
"You still need to be like you are and that's what they (the City players) have done. I was so surprised with their behaviour and the attitude they showed, all of them are professionals."
