After France's 1-0 victory over Paraguay to advance to the quarterfinals, Cherki was interviewed by beIN SPORTS.
Rayan, you've successfully advanced, and we'll remember that, even though this match was physically exhausting and competitively difficult.
We know that when facing South American teams, they're not on the field to make friends. But today, we put our heart and soul into this game to remind everyone that the French team isn't just about beautiful football; even if the game is tough, we will fight to the end.
Yes, Mbappe also said after the game, "If we need to do the dirty work, we will do it (original words: put our hands in the shit)." Was this something you all agreed on before the match?
If it were me, I wouldn't say just use our hands (to do the dirty work); we will put our whole selves into it, we don't quibble over details. In short, to win the FIFA World Cup, no calculations are needed. Today we held nothing back, so we are very happy.
Rayan, the quarter-finals will see France face Morocco. Given the deep relationship between the two countries, this will be a very significant match.
Of course, of course, it will be a great match for us and for them. Now, we have a few days to recover well, and when it's time to think about this match, don't worry, we will be 100% committed to it.
Here's a statistic: there were three yellow cards in this match, and all of them went to France.
What do you want me to say? I didn't even know before that they could commit dozens of fouls without getting a card. But that's okay, today we won because we showed the level we should have.

I didn't make a reference to Ronaldo, please
But your making out that fifa give Argentina easy games, that's such a Ronaldo fan thing to do discredit everything Argentina does. So hense why I'm bringing up Ronaldo, Portugal got easy games last world cup and bottled it. So just cause it's an easy team on paper doesn't mean it's gonna be easy. Cape Verde would give Portugal a good game. As they did with everyone they faced in the world Cup.

Nah the refs have been terrible in almost every game in the world Cup so far. People on yellows fouling but not getting sent off, hand balls not given, pens not given.

This french players took the game negatively. but that's football, you cannot expect to play without clashing or contact. it's fighting, not with hands but performing football in another beautiful way. they should have known this.
They definitely fight with hands, in front of the referee, without worrying about injuring French players. The point about repeated foul without card is valid. 💯 not normal referee behavior

To get to the finals last world cup Argentina faced the best teams to get to the final, Portugal got the easy run of teams and lost to a 10 man Morocco side. Wouldn't call the Netherlands, Croatia and France easy games. What did Ronaldo do? Benched.

Same-o-same-o, Doesn't matter it seems all the officials interpret the rules to suit their own interpretation. FIFA'S new rules to hurry the players only to play a minimum of 100,minutes+ player's remaining horizontal, rolling round, checking for blood on imaginary head knocks, and goal keeper's getting cramp ("what's that about??) player's winning free kicks with minimal contact maximum exaggeration. Officials relying on technology rather than backing themselves🤔
