Olmo stated, "A person who says they regret it but claims that they punched someone because they were verbally provoked and is trying to justify their actions is not truly remorseful; that's lying."
“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, many fans, and people from my hometown of Tarasa look back at this game, I hope they will be proud of our fighting spirit, our winning process, and most importantly, 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, thanks to everyone's unremitting efforts, we finally stood at the top of the world."
