After the World Cup, Russian striker Artem Dzyuba spoke about the biggest scandal of the tournament, wrote lrytas.lt.
It was caused by Croatian footballer Domagoj Vida, who, after the victory against the Russians in the quarterfinals, shouted "Glory to Ukraine!" along with the national team member Ognjen Vukojevic.
"I had mixed feelings. On the one hand, the Croats defeated us. Everyone thought that England would eliminate them afterwards, but it didn't happen. And because of D. Vida and O. Vukojevic... Their celebration really annoyed us.
My initial reaction was that I wanted to go and knock D. Vida to the ground. Later, the emotions subsided, he apologized. I didn't hold a grudge. He didn't know what he was doing. Before the final, I was calm - whoever wins, wins. But Croatia won my sympathy," - said A. Dzyuba.
