He saw that we were Shakhtar, that we were from Ukraine, and shouted "red and white Spartak is the champion". I didn't hear him at that moment. Roma told me what he shouted. And I said at the beginning of the training camp that if we don't fight any Russians, we can assume that the training camp is a failure.
I turned around and started to speak. Roma says to me: "Wait a minute, Sik. There are children here." We're standing there, talking to each other quietly. And then we hear someone speaking Russian and shouting. I look over and it's them. Petrovych said: "It's a Russian weirdo, I dropped out because there would have been a fight." I'm already at a low start, because this is such cattle. I will not allow them to behave like that in a hotel or anywhere else.
We sit down. He has already gone to his room with his friends, women or I don't know who. He sees that we are sitting on the sidelines. And we all look at him. He shouts: "Spartak is the champion, Russia is forever." I immediately get up and come over. Word for word, I slap him. He fell on the tiles and tried to get up, but he couldn't. The next day they were kicked out of the hotel," VZbirna quoted Sikan as saying, citing the press service of the Donetsk residents.
