Manchester City youngster Oleksandr Zinchenko is delighted at how he managed to establish himself in the first team.
The Ukrainian took advantage of injuries to cement his place as a regular left back for Pep Guardola's side.
Despite his tender age, Zinchenko is happy that he stuck it out at City, instead of going out on loan.
"That's a massive dream, to be part of the squad, to be part of this huge family" he said to reporters.
"I was dreaming about that, now you just have to work a lot because hard work is important.
"Every single day you have to show your level in the training sessions and the games and you have to fight for your place. This is first step, to become number one, then the most important to stay there. Football is crazy, everything can change like that.
"You can be top today but tomorrow, again, again and again, you have to work a lot."
