Renowned Ukrainian referee Vitaliy Romanov shared the incident for which he is grateful to the Dynamo legend Valentina Belkevich.
Vitaliy Romanov— I want to remember Valentina Belkevich. Eternal memory to him. This is a person who really protected me on the football field. At that time, I was a referee for the reserve teams. During that time, Aliyev and Milevsky were in their prime — young, hot-headed, wild boys. Frankly speaking, they were «eating me alive.» They felt complete irresponsibility and did whatever they wanted.
I remember well how Belkevich said: «Yes, don’t touch.» And that was it — they immediately calmed down. The atmosphere of the match turned 180°. It was like a magician: once — and the snake disappeared into the bag, — Romanov said in an interview with «TaToTake».
