Antoine Griezmann has privately apologized to Rakuten’s CEO, Hiroshi Mikitani, over a video which featured him and Ousmane Dembélé engaging in what the businessman termed “discriminatory remarks.”
The viral video showed Dembélé complaining to Griezmann, as the latter laughed, about hotel workers in Japan.
“All these ugly faces, just so you can play PES,” Dembélé says in a video shot by the winger himself.
The workers are apparently helping him set up a game of Pro Evolution Soccer in his room.
“What kind of backward language is that?” Dembélé asks after hearing them speak in Japanese.
