I trust the referees. Our opponent is Morocco, not the referee,” the France head coach said.Backup goalkeeper Robin Risser echoed Deschamps’ comments, adding: “There’s been a certain bitterness [between France and Argentina] for a few years now since the last final, but that’s part of the game.“If these referees are there, it’s because they’re up to the level of the competition.”Morocco head coach Mohamed Ouahbi, meanwhile, said: “Regarding the referees for tomorrow’s game, we’re talking about a very experienced referee.“That’s what we want. We want experienced referees for these type of matches. So we’re very calm.“We had a Dutch referee before facing the Netherlands and he did very well. So that’s not something we really talk about because we know that they’re just trying to do their best.“The referee we’ll have against France, he’s not so quick to give bookings, and that can play an impact, but I would not say anything against the quality of the referees.”World Cup WhatsAppDon't miss an update from talkSPORT in our dedicated World Cup WhatsApp channel.Search for ‘talkSPORT World Cup’ in your ‘Updates’ tab on WhatsApp and we’ll drop the proper, unfiltered football chat straight to your lock screen—no fluff, just pure talkSPORT energy.It’s where you’ll find out all the new rules to watch out for, England and Scotland reaction and big match player ratings.
