China's national football team head coach Arie Haan has expressed his irritation over accusations that he bribed players and made a statement to clarify himself.

The Dutchman denied all accusations against him and said his standards of selection match his tactics.

Haan also expressed that he would prosecute the news agency that published the news when returns to China.

China suffered a vital loss last week to Kuwait, losing their advantage in the world cup qualifiers. The rout shocked the country and negative reports about Haan began to circulate shortly after.
