Did not gif any comments on handling of crew
Quite the contrary actually

Key factor according to press release:

Aircraft was on the GS and Loc. No deviations from that side. Auto throttle went to retard since it 'thinks' it's at 7ft RA and it's about to touch down. At the same time autopilot kept aircraft on GS --> airspeed reduced --> pitch up and so on....No corrective crew action taken...Stall and the rest we know.
