This week, Olmo was interviewed by Terrassa Daily, recalling how he was struck in the face by Argentina assistant coach Ayala after the FIFA World Cup final. Related link: [Argentina assistant coach: I regret pushing Olmo, will apologize in person if we meet again]
Olmo said: "Someone who says they regret it, but then claims they punched because of verbal provocation and tries to rationalize the act, has not truly repented at all. This is a lie."
"I didn't say anything to him at the time, so I don't need him to apologize to me. What truly defines a person is never the mistakes they make, but the courage to take responsibility for them."
"In the future, when my children, family, and many fans, as well as the people of Terrassa, look back at this match, I hope they will be proud of how we fought, how we won, and most importantly, of our professionalism."
"Football has a huge influence, and players should be role models for children and the new generation of young people. The heavy responsibility behind this identity cannot be ignored. Fortunately, with everyone's unremitting efforts, we ultimately stood at the top of the world."
