After the World Cup game, Samuel Eto'o apologizes for attacking a man.

Following Brazil's 4-1 victory against South Korea earlier this week, Samuel Eto'o, the president of the Cameroon Football Federation and a former striker, apologized for a "violent incident" after striking a guy outside the World Cup stadium.
At Stadium 974 in Doha on Monday, supporters were taking photos with Eto'o when he was approached by a man who was filming him and said some things that upset Eto'o, as shown in footage that quickly went viral on social media.

The former footballer was first restrained by his entourage, but he eventually managed to escape and appear to kick the man in the face, causing him to fall to the ground. The individual appeared to be in good condition and was able to stand up.
Eto'o apologized for losing his anger and behaving out of character in messages posted in both French and English on his Twitter account on Wednesday. "I had a violent argument with a person who was possibly an Algerian supporter," he wrote.
After a contentious Cameroon-Algeria encounter in March, he said that he had been "the object of insults and charges of cheating without any evidence."
“I pledge to continue to resist the relentless provocation and daily harassment of some Algerian supporters.” he added
Eto'o, who is also an ambassador for the Qatar 2022 World Cup, urged Algeria's government and football association to "put an end to this toxic climate before a more tragic catastrophe occurs."


The same clothes as in the first video were worn by Algerian YouTuber Said Mamouni on Monday, who claimed to have been the victim of the attack.
Mamouni said that Eto'o had struck him in the chest, chin, and jaw while displaying a broken camera. He continued by saying that he had gone to a Doha police station to denounce Eto'o.
Samuel and I got into a quarrel. He punched me, and the person with him shoved me. Mamouni said that his remark regarding the March game incensed Eto'o, adding, "I'm here to make a complaint and he also destroyed my camera.
He claimed that he had questioned Eto'o about whether or not the match's referee, Bakary Papa Gassama of the Gambia, who oversaw the match between both teams in the African Cup of Nations, had been bought.
