“I will like to apologise for what happened on Tuesday. Sometimes I become very irritating or emotional and it is natural because it is reflex action. When you want to sneeze, nobody can stop you to sneeze because it is a reflex action. I was very sorry for that but the words the guy used I have checked again and I think you people should tell him I don’t deserve that word that he used one me. When you say a bank is bankrupt it means it’s empty so if someone who is about 26 or 30 years telling me who has coached for 30 years and in my fourth national assignment that I’m empty, naturally I will react”, he said.
He also appealed to Ghanaians to come in their numbers on Friday to support the Black Queens who will go up against the free-scoring Cameroon side.
