The Ghana coach assumed he was “very upset and emotional” when he uttered the words.
Otto Addo asked, this Sunday, sorry for the statements they produced after the confrontation against Portugal (Portuguese victory by 3-2), in the opening round of Group H of the World Cup in Qatar.
In a press conference previewing the duel with South Korea, the Ghana coach said the following: “I want to take this opportunity to apologize. I didn’t mean to be inelegant, but I was very upset and emotional that day. About the game with Portugal , our defense did well and managed to hold off the world-class strikers, allowing them only scant opportunities”.
Even so, the 47-year-old coach stressed that he was stuck because VAR had not intervened in the penalty kick against Cristiano Ronaldo (which gave rise to the first goal for the Quinas team, scored by the captain of the National Team), but he also won that “in the the next day we erase Portugal from our minds”.
