It is just that in each bout you need to shout something when you attack - sometimes even "Give us the button!" Well, it looks stupid, but in accordance with the procedure - like anyone in this country still cares about the procedure.

AZAROV. THE ONE AND ONLY. AZAROV. THE ONE AND ONLY. At one moment he advises people against smoking, the next he recalls the days when he was cheerful and resourceful, and then he becomes extremely cheerful and directly states: "Everything is good in the country and the prospects for next year are good."
