Dani Olmo, who was attacked by Argentine national team assistant coach Roberto Ayala after the final whistle of the World Cup final, spoke about Ayala's apology. The Spanish star said, "I didn't say anything to him, so I never needed his apology. He should be old enough to learn not to attack someone unprovoked. He's not really sorry, he's lying."
Following the World Cup final, Spanish footballer Dani Olmo, who had a tense confrontation on the pitch with Argentine National Team Assistant Coach Roberto Ayala, responded harshly to the apology offered. Stating that he did not find Ayala's apology sincere, Olmo said, "I hadn't said anything to him, so I don't need his apology. He should be old enough to learn not to attack someone unprovoked. He's not truly sorry; he's lying," reigniting the dispute.
PITCH CHAOS AFTER THE FINAL
With the final whistle of the breath-taking match between Spain and Argentina, tensions rose in the middle of the pitch, and during the ensuing scuffle, an argument broke out between Roberto Ayala and Dani Olmo. After the heat of the incident subsided, Ayala stated that he had apologized to the Spanish star.
"HE'S NOT TRULY SORRY; HE'S LYING"
Evaluating Ayala's statements, Dani Olmo expressed disbelief in the Argentine's apology, saying, "Emotions might have been running high on the pitch, but that is no excuse. If someone tries to attribute responsibility to something I said while apologizing, they are not feeling genuine remorse. I didn't say anything to him, so I have absolutely no need for his apology. He should be old enough to learn not to attack someone unprovoked. He's not truly sorry; he's lying."
