Alexander responded wittily to a question in Bosnian.
Ukrainian national team midfielder Alexander Zinchenko demonstrated an excellent sense of humor at a press conference on the eve of the semi-final match of the play-off qualifying for Euro 2024 against the national team of Bosnia and Herzegovina.
After one of the journalists asked a question in Bosnian, the 27-year-old Arsenal player replied that he understood everything and did not need the help of a translator.
Then Zinchenko immediately said that he was joking and this was a reference to the funny reaction of the former winger of the Ukrainian national team Yevgeny Konoplyanka, when he allegedly understood the question of a foreign journalist after the return match of the Euro 2016 qualifying playoffs against Slovenia.
The Ukrainian Football Association (UAF) quickly combined both points and published the corresponding video on Twitter.
The Bosnia and Herzegovina – Ukraine match will take place on Thursday, March 21, in the city of Zenica at the Bilino Pole stadium. The starting whistle will sound at 21:45 Kyiv time.
