There shouldn't be a great deal of difference these days between an old left back and an old left half. The critical thing, I think, is the 'left' bit. I always think that the Cruyff Dutch national teams were stuffed with inside rights and inside lefts, even the goalie (although he was never as good as Eddie would be playing midfield!). Zinky has proved he is more than an adequate left back, but since he realised that a ball was round and rolled away and towards you he has probably spent more time as a midfielder, but I do agree at the highest level most of his games have been at LB. I must admit that I don't know where he plays for the Ukraine national team. I shall await an immediate answer on here. If none is forthcoming from 'international' or Ukrainian Bluemooners I shall 'google' and amend this post accordingly.
