Biography
A pupil of the Volgograd "Tractor" football school, in which he began to study in 1962.
In 1967-1968 he played in the second group “A” of the USSR championship as part of the Volgograd “Tractor” . In the second half of 1968 he moved to the Rostov SKA for military service. In 1972 he was invited by the trainer of the Leningrad Zenit Evgeny Goryansky to strengthen the team. In 1975, after joining the team head coach German Zonin , he moved to the local Dynamo . The next Zenit coach, Yuri Morozov, returned Zinchenko to the team.
In 1980, Kurt Chastka, editor of the sports department of the Austrian Volksstimme newspaper, set out to buy a Soviet football player for the Vienna Rapid [1] . After long negotiations, the head of Soviet sports Sergey Pavlov proposed Anatoly Zinchenko, who arrived in Vienna on October 28. The positive outcome of the negotiations was largely due to the fact that Rapid was considered a "working" team in Austria and had strong ties with the Austrian Communist Party . Officially, Zinchenko was listed as an electronic equipment technician sent to the Soviet trade mission and received a salary at the embassy, since the money paid by Rapid was transferred to the USSR. For success in the Austrian club Zinchenko was awarded the title "master of sports of the USSR of the international class."
He was distinguished by the ability to dispose of the ball correctly, he felt confident when stroking. He loved to connect to attacks from depth of field, played well with his head, and had a strong blow from both legs.
