The participant of the conflict with Smolov told about the reason of the incident

The conflict between the ex-striker of the football club (FC) Krasnodar Fedor Smolov and two men in the "Coffee Mania" in Moscow occurred after they refused the athlete to pay their bill. Businessman Andrey Popelukha, who became a participant in the fight, told Izvestia about this on July 5.

"There was a misunderstanding that had consequences. The video shows how he approaches and offers to pay the bill. We refuse. And against this background, something happens to him, and a fight begins. Well, not a fight, but blows to my colleague," Popelukha said.
