Midfielder “Locomotive” Kulikov said that he accepted the departure of coach Zinnbauer and sports director Zorn without emotion

Lokomotiv midfielder Daniil Kulikov said that he calmly reacted to the news about the departure of sports director Thomas Zorn and head coach Josef Zinnbauer from the team.

Zinnbauer and Zorn left Lokomotiv last week after a major defeat from Sochi in the match of the 12th round of the WORLD RPL (0:4). Kulikov spent 184 minutes on the field in the championship before Saturday’s match with Torpedo Moscow (1:0) as part of the 13th round of the Premier League.

– Was it not hard in the game against Torpedo after such a break? It seems that the Germans didn’t really count on you.

Well, yes, they probably didn’t. But I still continued to train and give all my best. Therefore, in this game it was not difficult for me, Kulikov told Match TV.

– Literally 10 minutes after the defeat from Sochi, messages appeared on the club’s social networks about the dismissal of Thomas Zorn and Zinnbauer. How did the team know about it?

We were told after the match. What emotions? Yes, none. We lost 0:4. What will be the emotions?

Lokomotiv scored 12 points in 13 matches and is 12th in the standings.
