TOKYO: Japan midfielder Yuki Kobayashi has apologised to Qatar officials for a "misunderstanding", after he accused a referee of threatening to kill him.
Kobayashi, who plays for Qatar Stars League side Al-Khor, said after his team's 3-1 defeat to Al-Gharafa on Monday that the referee had told him "I'm gonna kill you" when he appealed for a corner late in the game.
But the player retracted the accusation on Thursday, saying he had met with officials and realised the referee in fact said "I tell you".
