Tunisia goalkeeper Mouez Hassen, whose contract with OGC Nice ended on June 30 - apologized on social networks after his reaction on Tuesday when he was replaced before the penalty shootout in the quarter against Ghana (1-1, 5-4, tab).

Mouez Hassen, furious at having been replaced the day before the Carthage Eagles penalty shootout, repented on Tuesday for his " unfortunate reaction " on Twitter.

I want to come back to the incident yesterday and I will begin by apologizing to my coach, my teammates and all the supporters of the national team ," Hassen writes, putting his " reaction regrettable "under the influence of the" pressure of the homeland ".

After expressing his refusal to leave the field with no help from the finger, the goalkeeper Nice almost came back directly to the locker room when Alain Giresse asked for his replacement by Farouk Ben Mustapha in Tunisian goals for the penalty shoot-out against Ghana (1-1, 5-4 tab) in the round of 16. Mood gestures of no consequence as his substitute stopped a decisive Ghanaian shot and propelled Tunisia into quarters.

"(I) pledge to have a positive attitude and a spirit of cohesion for the rest of my career with the Carthage Eagles ", promises the goalkeeper of 24 years less than 48h quarter-final against Madagascar.
