"The only agreement was to go to breakfast." The shortest possible summary of Mamayev and Kokorin's testimony in court

Pavel Mamaev: When the driver called us roosters, it upset me - not a little, but a lot. I would never call a stranger that. There was no intention to hit beforehand or collusion , but the situation flared up like a match. We wanted to eat, not sort things out. The driver hit first, and my actions were retaliatory. There was no hooliganism, it was a personal situation in which I behaved incorrectly. There were ten of us, and four are sitting here - if we are a group of people, then everyone should be sitting here. I did not see the beginning of the conflict with Pak . Gaysin started pushing me away, and I responded. I repent.

Alexander Kokorin: Our only agreement was to go have breakfast. Mamaev hit Solovchuk in response to a hit, one hundred percent. In "Kofemania" I put my feet on the table because I was uncomfortable sitting due to an injury. I don't know why the girl and my friend sat on my lap, I didn't ask them to. Pak insulted my friends, I took a chair to sit and talk, but he insulted me - and I automatically hit him. Nerves and fatigue accumulated. Then I apologized four times, we shook hands. I asked not to remove the conflict so that the situation like in Monaco would not repeat itself. I smiled because I was born like this.
