I think he was trying to say if they were going to rig it they wouldn't stop at just selecting referees, but would out and out decide matches.

I know where he's coming from - he's claiming innocence precisely because the cheating they are accused of isn't a guarantee of success: if he was to cheat, he would ensure they had this guarantee... By this logic, they didn't win, therefore they didn't cheat.

I don't necessarily believe him, but that is the explanation. It's not overly deep.
