Yevhen Konoplyanka, a player who played 87 matches and scored 21 goals for the national team of Ukraine, was released after only 5 months from CFR Cluj, but the 34-year-old footballer accused the Transylvanian in the press back home.

Evgeny Konoplyanka says that he would not have been given a chance to play in CFR Cluj

Yevhen Konoplyanka was brought in the summer of 2023 by CFR Cluj and was considered as a super transfer of the multiple champions of Romania.

The 34-year-old, who has 87 caps and 21 goals for Ukraine, managed just 54 minutes in total for CFR Cluj and never started for Andrea Mandorlini’s side.

The UEFA Europa League finalist with Dnipro was released by Gruya and accused of not wanting to play, which Konoplyanka denied in the media in his home country.

“Absolute nonsense!

Of the five salaries they were supposed to pay me, Cluj paid me only one. My situation is still not resolved

See how many times I sat on the bench even though I was ready to play. If I wasn’t in shape, I wouldn’t be included in the party

When I went to CFR, there was no communication between the president and the coach about which players were needed and in which positions.

CFR plays 5-3-2. There is simply no place for me there. That’s what the coach told me.

I asked the technician why I was brought. He told me that he doesn’t understand many things about the club either.

I don’t want to say too much, I don’t want to seem like I’m just making excuses. But look at the results of the schedule, and the answer becomes clear. What is wrong and who is to blame. Know how to admit your own mistakes and don’t say that they are hitting, and I was not allowed to play even one match from the first minute.” – he said, reports tribuna.com.
