The incident occured during the World cup, immediately after # Brazil walloped South Korea 4 goals to 1.
The Algerian YouTuber suggested that Eto’o bribed a referee during #world cup play-off, the president out of anger reacted.
“On last December 5th after the Brazil- South Korea Match,I had a violent altercation with a person who was probably an Algerian supporter.I will like to apologise to losing my temper and reacting in a way that doesn’t match my personality.I apologise to the public for this incident” He wrote.
Footage showed Eto’o advancing towards the man before he was restrained by bystanders, but he then broke free and appeared to lash out towards the man with his knee.
Samuel Eto’o in the apology,said they have been target of insults from Algeria since after the World Cup Play-offs.
“I have been targets of insults and allegations of cheating,without any evidence.During this world cup,Cameroonian fans have been harrased by Algerians in the same subject.I will like to mention that the scenario of Algeria’s defeat,was cruel but perfectly in line with the ethics of our sports.All the appeals made by the Algerian football federation,to the competent jurisdiction have been rejected,he added.
The blogger in his part in a video threatened to report the situation to the police.
“He hit me,I did all for Algeria he added in the video.Im presently at the police station to report the situation”He said.
Reports however say,the YouTuber has been banned from the world cup premises.
