Switzerland coach Murat Yakin answered a question about the referees helping the Argentine national team in their match against Egypt.
Switzerland plays in the World Cup quarterfinals against Argentina, who qualified at the expense of Egypt after a match that sparked widespread controversy.
Switzerland coach Murat Yakin said in a press conference: "The statements of Egypt's coach and players that the referees are helping Argentina? In general, matches are managed fairly at the present time. And with the presence of video technology, everything can be reviewed".
He added, "There is no need to settle everything with words after the match; when you have your chances, you must take them, so everything must be settled on the field".
He concluded, "The opportunity is during the match itself. As for after it ends, justifying matters or directing insults at others has nothing to do with justice".
The Swiss national team qualified for the World Cup quarterfinals after defeating Colombia on penalties 4-3, after the end of regular and extra time of the match with a goalless draw.
Thus, the Swiss national team plays against Argentina in the round of 8 of the World Cup, and the match will be held on Sunday at exactly four in the morning Cairo time.
