Murat Jakin continues the series of coaches who "insult people"

Murat Yakin, the coach of Switzerland, denied before his team's World Cup quarterfinal match with Argentina that the "gauchos" were advancing due to gross refereeing errors.

Yakin did not want to see the four-minute and 21-second video of the referee's bad intentions against Egypt - a video dubbed "over four minutes of shame". For the way Cape Verde were eliminated, again in a clash with the current world champions, it is enough to look at Argentina's second goal and the foul by Tagliafico, which prevented the defender of the African team from covering the left side and preventing the goal... Conspiracy theorists even released a video from an angle that did not show what VAR showed, but that Argentina's goal should have been canceled due to offside, but...

Jakin spoke:

"The Egypt manager and the players said that the referees helped Argentina? In general, the matches are being played fairly today with VAR, everything can be reviewed. There is no need to clear everything up with words after the match, when you have your chances, you have to win. The chances are during the game itself. After the match, explaining things or insulting people has nothing to do with justice!" ‍ So, you have to clear it up on the field," said Yakin.

And then, well then he started "insulting" people! The reason was the red card to his player Embolo, which turned the tide of the match and Argentina scheduled a semi-final with England.

And yes, Jakin used the exact same words in the finale as his colleagues from the two previous matches with Argentina.

"VAR only works when Argentina is playing, "all rules must be applied against their opponents". I want to say one more thing, if they want them (Argentina) to win so much, then why are they inviting all the rest of us to come and participate"!

Switzerland captain Granit Xhaka also used the same words after the match as Cape Verde captain Vozinha or Egypt striker Zico, when their teams were eliminated by Argentina.

"I'm not going to take anything away from Argentina, but tonight the referee made sure they had every advantage. Every big decision went in their favour. We came here to play football, not fight the whistle. If that's how you get to the semi-finals of the World Cup, then something is seriously wrong," Xhaka said after the defeat.
