I would like to apologies for losing my temper and reacting in a way that does not match my personality. I apologize to the public for this unfortunate incident. I pledge to continue to resist the relentless provocation and daily harassment of some Algerian supporters. Indeed, since the Cameroon-Algeria match on 29 March in Blida, I have been the target of insults and allegations of cheating without any evidence. During this World Cup, Cameroonian fans have been harassed and pestered by Algerians on the same subject” started Eto’o his apology letter.Kung-fu Eto’o!
