I WONT APOLOGISE TO GYAN-GUINEA GOALKEEPER SPEAKS

Guinea Goalkeeper Naby Moussa Yattara has said in
plain words that he will not apologise to Ghana
captain Asamoah Gyan for injuring him in their
quarter-final clash in Malabo last Sunday.
The goalkeeper thwarted Gyan’s efforts in the
dying minutes of the game, resulting in his
eventual sacking, reducing his side to 10 men.
To Yattara, apologising to the Black Stars captain
suggests his action was deliberate, hence his
decision not to apologise.
He managed with his sketchy Queens language
shortly after his lunch at the team’s hotel –
Sofitel Presidential, saying “I won’t apologise.
If I apologise, it means it was deliberate. It was
not my intention to hurt him; I came out to kick
the ball. If I didn’t kick, he would score.”
Many, including the victim, Gyan, have called for a
stiffer punishment from the Confederation of
African Continent (CAF) for the 31-year-old
goalkeeper.
The AC Arles – Avignon (French Ligue 2) goal
stopper, before seeing red, had conceded a goal by
striker Kwesi Appiah and a brace by Christian Atsu.
Gyan has since been flown to Mongomo to ascertain
the degree of his injury via scan.
