After leaving the World Cup, Egypt sparked great passions after losing to Argentina in the round of 16 following the performance of French referee Letexier, which raised questions among football fans, especially Egyptians.

The Egyptian Football Association filed a protest, but the coach of the French national team saw no problems with the referee's performance.

"I hope that in the match between France and Morocco, the referee will be as good as Mr. Letexier and his assistants were in the clash between Argentina and Egypt.

My opponent is Morocco, not the referee,” said the strategist of "Les Blues.”
