He said: “I do not usually attend press conference but this time I felt it necessary to speak up.
“Following the match in Rostov, Russia, one of our players [made an] inappropriate comment that does not respect Tottenham Hotspur player Harry Kane.
“Our club condemns such behaviour. We are a club that advocates the person before the player.
“I would like to take this opportunity to apologise to Tottenham and Harry Kane, who we greatly respect. We wish them a successful season, thank you very much.”
