After the match, in the so-called mix-zone (mixed zone where footballers give interviews to journalists), the discussion on this topic has returned. One of the Hungarian journalists asked for a comment on the referee’s decision of the German team’s striker, Niclas Fuellkrug .

In response, the German… pulled out his phone. – Now let me show you something – he said.

He displayed a photo on the smartphone screen showing the situation from the second half. It was clearly visible how the above-mentioned Orban was pushing Fuellkrug in an air fight. In this situation, the referee also did not notice the foul. According to the striker, this is proof that the referee allowed tough, manly play. On the verge of foul.

– Playing with the body is not prohibited – he explained. – Ilkay isn’t the biggest or strongest guy, but he can use his body. There is nothing to discuss. These are not, both!, situations in which the referee should react.

In the last round of the group phase, Germany will face the Swiss (23/06, 9 p.m.), and the Hungarians will face the Scots (also 23/06, 9 p.m.).
