Mikael Silvestre advised the coaching staff of the London club to leave Jakub Kiver on the left side.
London Arsenal should leave Jakub Kiver as the main left-back. This is what the ex-footballer of the London club, Mikael Silvestre, said.
According to him, with the Pole in the lineup, the Gunners play with more confidence in defense than having a Ukrainian on the field.
“Kiver’s playing profile is more defensive than Zinchenko’s. Obviously it depends on the coach’s choice, but Kiver is in the lineup Arsenal becoming more solid than Zinchenko, and the team’s defensive line looks more reliable.”
The back four unit of Keever, Gabriel, Saliba and White is really strong.
Kiver is taller than Zinchenko, and this also indicates that he is the best candidate for the left-back position,” Arsenal True Fans quoted Sylvester as saying.
We remind you that due to injury, Alexander has not played since February 4, 2024. The Ukrainian returned to the field in the match of the last round of the Premier League against Brentford in the 79th minute. And in the successful match against Porto he entered the field in the 106th minute.
In total, Zinchenko played 29 matches this season, scored 1 goal and provided 2 assists.
Remind you that earlier Zinchenko commented on his criticism.
