the world cup in south africa and the coming of when you had coached the russian national team russia's previous college. quit after failing to qualify for the world cup another dutchman proved more successful to talk about the results of the world cup and the russian football the guest today is russia's head coach. making the russian national football team a success has become one of the country's most ambitious projects the new head of the russian football union has promised to make team russia world champions by twenty eighteen to fulfill his grand plan they've hired because of a cart the dutch football coach with a brilliant record mr advocaat has a long and successful experience in russia he was the head coach of f c's in need st petersburg. to the club to the glory in the us the cup and the u.s. for super league the best result in the history to become the team russia head

coach mr advocaat who left the job as the national coach of belgium so jumping out of the world just promises promises let's see what team russia has to say. thank you for being with us thank you very much it's a pleasure having you here thank you well first of all let's talk start talking bad about the the the world cup that we all watched that we all well i'm missing to now well when it's finished first of all the final the spaniards who have become world champions after getting the european title two years ago they were the favorites they were the number one rated team and they made it. do you expect it will happen . well expecting fuel is always difficult but before the game everybody was saying that spain. is the better team and they were also the better team they deserved to become the champion but everyone in the football is of the impossible. it all and

there are very disappointed because they became second but but i still think we did a really great job really small country like holland becoming a fine of a world championship is really great but why did the spaniards win because today now that they have won everybody saying they were the best team they show the best football they have the best players their coach have the best line but is it really so do they get lucky or they really are the best thing is that the food but the football of today that they're doing they have the best players really. comparing was all and so in that way it is easier to find the better the better players. to become three as well with a lot of players so individual wise they were the better side ok i've got a question now from one of our viewers he writes i quote on the world cup in south africa i supported the netherlands since russia was and then why do you think the

orange team finally lost. the final from the last big because i think it is not to do with came planned because the came player from all of those as good as that from spain a certain moment if you play eleven against eleven and you have individual better players from the ten times you in nine times to game. if we had a little bit more luck with the two opportunities we had was robin we could also score but but again if you see the game about ninety minutes they were the better side ok now let's talk about latin american myself i supported the argentinians i thought vegan aware bed because i think that they had a while. wonderful team then a dream team why do you think the brazilians the argentinians didn't do as well as people have expected them to what's the problem with the whole thing was very unlucky against lucky against. i think the first of against the land but brazil

outplayed holland they scored only one goal and you know as lot is one zero you have to chance to come back in the game the second all of us all much better the got a lucky goal was one one and the game changed totally so in that and there. was the temperament of holland the individual quality as well to win that game but argentina i was also favored but. more to do with the individual players like the like messi even one of the top players from sitting on the bench so maybe there are two really good players even being a dutchman and you say that you say that it is not fair that there that they aren't the one against against brazil the. atmosphere at the end result is ok now if you you mentioned argentina what about marathon i thought he was

a wonderful. i'm not a footballer specialist but i think this he has the quality that you need to take the team to a world championship like not working the year after year month after month but just taking the team for two weeks and like building up the spirit he was wonderful but is he really a manager what do you think as as a manager well i think that more is more. who can start playing with a team with a cigar on a training speech that can only do more because he's a special member probably behind more. than four or five other people. will do all the work because i don't underestimate the jobs from the coach during the tournament so maradona is there because of his background as as as one of the best world players know as the best world coach so do you agree with me that that the team especially team like argentina does need my are done for the next world cup

but i don't think so you don't think so again. more nor is there because what i've said about the past but the players accept him because of his background. so the story different if you expect respect somebody about his qualities as a coach ok what happened to the european football giants britain france italy. what's wrong with. the game from slovakia against italy and italy's over the hill i mean too many old players. too slow and everybody could see that italy was is over. england is a totally different story did really well in the qualification they were the first team who are qualified but in the tournament they were not there. though does a good question i think of sitting every day wondering why it did not work

difficult to say don't underestimate the competition i worked for for a lot of years at rangers so a little bit lower level but every game there is. even against limited team is top top top quality and maybe they are tired and not very difficult to explain why they did well in the qualification and not in the tournament i have a theory my personal theory is very amateur is that the brits keep playing british football and british football is relevant only in britain. successful in a qualification games they be there for everybody so you can all say it is in this game. i don't i don't think a lot of very good individual players to do well in france a civilization problem generation problem where there's a solo to the coach to my opinion i think the acceptation between coach and players

was not there. the federation said we have to go on with that coach and i think after water that was the right decision ok now when did you personally watch the final because i know you for some reason you didn't. accept the invitation of the dutch relation to go to has been was the fine was that there was no invitation really it was in the newspapers but. so why did you watch it. at home at home i guess i was never turned those in the middle of what was your impression south africa was it really like very uncomfortable that many people said it was it was it was a great chambre go very uncomfortable for players for cultures for journalists well i never heard about that because a lot of people. also for the holiday and they said it was really comfortable not uncomfortable but comfortable but but we have to have to see change because that

was then the main target for african food bowl to get the world cup hopefully a change for the people who are living in so many scandals so many problems with the referees during the championship do you do you believe that a reform. is coming in in the in the football the whole system of judgment around several things you think what kind of reform what was only that i think a lot of people have a lot of ideas about the tenors kind of things it is quite simple keep it the way it is now. sitting behind the camera everybody. so you can talk with each other and in one second because they are side or it is a go. she should be so should they introduce sort of an arc system like like in tennis no no because just a prompter in the ear devil in the here so that is those five seconds. go

another question from one of our view is that we got through on our website the feel is under pressure these days to alter the rules to make the work of referees more accurate they proposed to introduce video replays as nice arche. of blatter is against that and says he wants some sophisticated device to help determine if there was a go or not how do you think the conflict in the end. what will be there. there talking already i think ten fifty years about this problem. no not the first time but now with the situation what happened was the offside goal from tevez and the goal from. it it begins again brought it again in the spotlight even with some significant parts of the game that's a mistake ok thanks a part of the game yeah like the noise you're the favorite there is no problem but it is additional funds for. the you know better decision to change but

what we will change there's still the question and the offside rule should we keep the offside rule yeah we have to keep the yeah i played in america three seasons and they changed it as well but that was not because they did it to make the game more attacking but didn't work did no one. says i was difficult so it was wise in the very beginning where prince invented that i was like well yeah it's true yeah so so so so you or you are conservative you you would keep it as it is you know you wouldn't change them what would you in the football rules are not the rules i think they release ok because like what what you mentioned about cameras. and the way we see it on television may be judged behind the net like in hockey a special judge what question there is now you can if you're watching television. dick advocaat talking to spotlight we'll be back in less than a minute after

a short break so stay with us and. started off. lasted three months to finish the. jew live. to. the speech congress. welcome back to spotlight time our now van just to remind you that dick advocaat the new head coach of the manager of the russian national team is here with me by the way the russians don't call their head coaches managers yeah in england as

manager and russia is head culture what do you prefer being a coach or a manager. name is different the minutes of the cause it's a different job because in england more or less the ministers are not training the squad they have coaches who are doing that but in england the from the initial release the movement of the cultures they have p.p.i. only the fact of the student body knows the name of south ferguson is a manager because he responsible for everything so if it goes wrong they will fire him and not their systems because i read somewhere that that you prefer to be a coach training coaching and not really a manager is that true you know you have to do both on the level of the national team year through those managing groove and coaching the group so but it doesn't matter how they call it one of the reason you are here is that the russian national team didn't make it to the to yad to the world cup this year what was the main

reason the year you should have analyzed that what do you think is the main reason probably they were not good enough i will if you see the culture if you see the two final games against slovenia the team play very bad and they lose if you underestimate teams like the venue i'm not sure if they did but they have a chance to lose a game even a stronger team russia a losing a slow venue spotlights cut so it would be one of the has tried to find out. what can help russians to succeed at the next world cup let's have a look i'm here today i'll try to find out what people in this country think their help russia the full national team to succeed at the world cup but i think that we should change the players on the team and also have a russian coach i don't think the new coach advocate can really help us because his mentality is way different from russian one on one of our things that coaches should do a better job. starting money invested in talent could make

a huge difference we have plenty of talented players but not enough financial support from the government. first of all i think a clear salaries should be significantly corrupt after showing good results during practices and games you should get a raise that we would be more of a to to do their best that is the only thing that can help our team to succeed. you must be me i think time in a different attitude towards winning this title would help us it seems like a team is not very united they're not striving to win first of all they should change the team spirit. help i've got the only got a question for our guest why did you choose the russian team and not belgian. did you choose the russians instead of instead of who are continue working with the belgians. because of the quality of the players. to play for russia is better than the quality of players from belgium well that's one of the other way around the

quality of the players in belgium is even worse. i don't think there's the drive because i'll miss you you first two years from leaving. you so you said here you said that you're you're not satisfied. as well with the quality of the russian players even the young players you said here it is i want to see you watch the championship. of the young teams and that there isn't a single player that you would to the. put in your quadrant the question is that people telling me asking me are you starting with new players and then said listen i've seen some tournament's until the vision was to tell and that russia well they at this moment are not googling for the first team and dubbed as obvious realize as well the first two years on the ending did a really great job qualifying did really well but the last two years were not good and the places realize that as well we have to change i watched it. the chances of

russia winning the next european championship in two years today are estimated as twenty one how much aiming to change these chances but in the coming to the first of all the priority is that we are qualifying after that if you go to two tournament and that's not always the focus from the national to the hole and if we go to an tournament like the world cup we have to try to become the world champion if we are qualifying for the tournament in green we have to go for the first place . mr first and first and to the head of the russian football union and you're your friend as far as i know you worked in the need to get a digit when he became the head of the russian for bill union he said we're going to win the world cup in two thousand and eighteen most of the people in russia said he's crazy and he doesn't know a thing about football do you think he's crazy. because he said of those saying

that when i arrived saying that he said we will become a major force in europe and that nobody had ever heard about zain it's so bad it's three years times everybody know they're in it everybody knows the players and that's the reason after all the success we've heard a lot of players go abroad because of the cold they have brought but the teams in it so you can better so we become the world champion in two thousand. we have no chance at all like positive people and it's definitely one of them let's go back to the thing that the people and the streets were one of the guys said we don't need a foreign coach we need a russian coach because he knows the guys the mentality better goose eating did a pretty good job for the first couple of years now another foreign coach do you think that russia really needs a foreign coach listen you're out if you're you know you're from abroad for a. good russian culture as well but for all of the reasons. they choose me the must

be a reason for that because there's not only misrepresent to make that decision he probably has this was a result of people who are involved in football so probably thought now we need a foreign coach and need. a new russian coach you know the thing. that was pretty funny that they said let's cut the salary of the players because they're overpaid but but increase the bonuses do you think that they're literally were does more for club teams seems not for the national differently but this was speaking about club teams don't you consider a football player especially in russia to be overpaid all good players make good money not only in russia but also in broad so it is always the first answer they make too much money not only football but probably also in the television world i've got another question for from my website from a viewer what should be improved in the team's game what are the strong and the

weak points in russia has seen the promise a little bit that we had no opportunities to play friendly games we have only won one game in august six months we did not do songs because for certain reason so there is no there is no time to make experience so we are where we start we have to stay there. so everybody has a nose that we are not coming together to make we are coming to qualify for for green and pole but are there any. song points in the in the game of the russian team that you're going to take advantage of or are you going to build an entirely new team new tactic new strategy the different probably and different tactics the us does for sure but probably with the majority of the players who are heading was playing with so. play what players why as there will be not so many changes not of the changes but the system will be chancellor so so so the line up

will be pretty much what we're used to i mean no no great no great surprise in the line of. ok. you are not need to the russian premier premiership leaders are as i mentioned you you coached the football club senate in st petersburg for four years well the three in the heart of years yes what's your impression what's your disappointment and what's your hope for russian football in general. well the opus and the priority for me is to qualify for the tournament besides that and that's the reason is so mr reeling with me and his wife to develop the young players and make new programs and i think the must be enough talent and become tree like russia to get the talent on the right place which is not only recognize the talent but also to bring them to the right positions so there's

a lot to do their priority for me is well of occasional side thinking on the development of regime russian talents. another question from the web site in two thousand and twelve the russian national championship will start in the autumn and then spring says going to go the way and then there was the most of the european countries what do you think of this in what way will it affect the national team there is no reason to discuss that mr center put it in the newspaper just to get a discussion so the pros and we still have to discuss that says oh you're not sure that's going to happen i'm not sure it's still it's still an english question ok now. what do you think causes. the problems what do you think causes the failures of russian football i've talked to mr for example who was in this state a couple of weeks ago and he said the problem is in the system he wants to change

the system the whole system of football starting with kids. to the grown ups to club teams national team what would you say the same the devil is the same but again had goes from the national team the main concern is the national team does a reasonable acetyl really before we brought him a civilian who developed in holland used apartment so this very important to start now was everybody into corporate. it was everybody with the schools to find the facilities that the kids can train can play in the winter for five months you cannot play so we have to find facilities that the talent does not step over to tennis or whatever they have to continue to play football and last question. when russia and capitalism and sports became very capitalist russia had to pay for

everything even the kids the main aim of russian. children sport is to. pump money out of the parents so only the rich parents can pay for their kids going into sports but the kids of wealthy families very rarely become good sportsman so what is it like a chicken egg question. too but i think it has more to do with the base of the sport because football is one of the most cheaper sport there is you only need some moods and maybe the shirt you get from the club or from the school so if you have to really the talents and that's a good thing for football you don't need so much money if you play tennis if you're a son of a daughter who will play tennis that course not cause a lot of fortune and you never know if they have the talent than the committed and they can bring the money back but football players young people play room and kids . girls or boys is very very cheap this is true and for

a boy is also great fun so definitely welcome to russia have fun thank you thank you thank you very much it's a good thing thank you very much just a reminder that my guest today was dick advocaat head coach of the russian national football team and that's it for now from all of us here will be back until then play on r.t. and take care thank you very much. every month we give you the future we hope you understand how we'll get there and what tomorrow brings the best in science and technology from across russia and around the world join its knowledge update on our g.
