Scandal: Ukrainian footballer disgracefully goes after Djokovic, just because he was seated next to Shevchenko

Roman Zozulya created a storm with his debatable comments

It would appear that the best Serbian tennis player, Novak Djokovic is a thorn in many people's side. Whether because of his success or something else, he is the only one who almost regularly finds himself on the receiving end of disgraceful blows coming from different sides.

The lastest one arrived just before the start of the quarterfinal match at the ATP Masters in Rome, that Djokovic is playing against Holger Rune.

Namely, a Ukrainian footballer by the name of Roman Zozulya created a storm with his at least scandalous statements and drew condemnation from a large number of fans of the best Serbian tennis player.

This athlete is already known for his controversial views and his association with neo-Nazism, that became apparent when he glorified the Ukraine's World War II leader, Stepan Bandera. This is why Rayo Vallecano fans shouted slogans against him during a match against Albacete in Spain's Segunda division more than three years ago, when the match had to be stopped by the referee.

It is also problematic that this football player is often photographed holding a weapon, and shares these pictures on social networks. He also proudly shares his photos from the military.

Now Djokovic found himself a target of Zozulya because he was sitting next to former footballer Andriy Shevchenko, whom he vehemently called out, shamefully at the same time targeting Novak and his family.

"If you are at a game, and an athlete with sincere pro-Russian views is sitting next to you, then you cannot socialize with him with a blissful look on your face. No Ukrainian will sit inside one hectare with this s**t next to them. Why is our national pride sitting there?!," was Zozulya's scandalous message, referring first to Novak, and then to Shevchenko - and he then just continued:

"Does Andriy Shevchenko know he is sitting next to Serbian tennis player Novak Djokovic? And that the Serb and his father are active Russophiles? Does he know that Novak Djokovic is in favor of the return of athletes from Russia and Belarus to international competitions. Obviously not," concluded the Ukrainian footballer.

There is no doubt that a person like this definitely has no place in sports, because this is yet another step by which he crossed the line of normal behavior.
