Former football player of the Russian national team and Zenit Roman Shirokov testified in connection with the attack on the judge Nikita Danchenkov during the match of amateur teams. This is reported by the Baza edition in its Telegram channel.

The 39-year-old Shirokov explained his act by the fact that he was trying to challenge the referee's decision. According to the ex-player of the national team, he wanted to hit the referee with his palm in the face “not for the sake of causing pain.” The athlete emphasizes that at that moment he felt “hostile feelings” towards the victim.
