Winger of the national team of Ukraine and the German "Schalke" Eugene Konoplyanka criticized the head coach of the club Marcus Weinzirl.

Zhenya said that he had a conversation with the coach.

"I understand that the coach remains. He called me, spoke with such a smile: "Zhen, I see that you want to play". I look at him: "What, seriously, have you only just realized this?".

He said that I better find another club. And I tell him: "Listen, do you think you will stay longer here than I am?". I would ask him even more questions.

If you want to release a person who was bought for 15 million, then you need more explanations and we must somehow part. And he calls me to speak for a minute, as I'm leaving home. And why in advance it was impossible to talk?.

It's cowardly, he's a coward, I will not hide it. And he will not stay in this team, I wish him this. Otherwise, then "Schalke" will play in the Second League ", - said Konoplyanka on the air FootballHub.

This season, Zhenya played only 17 games, scored 1 goal and gave 1 assists.
