spotlight with host of that's in just a moment here on. for the full story we've got it for. the biggest issues get a human voice face to face with the news makers. however again welcome to spotlight. i'm al green our vent today my guest is dick advocaat. there were two major events for football fans in russia and july this year 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 dick advocaat 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 a cup in the us a super league the best result in the history to become the team russia head coach mr advocate who left the job as the national coach of belgium so champions 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 world cup that we all watched that. we all well i'm missing to now 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. did you expect it will happen . expecting fuel is always difficult but before the game everybody was saying that sprint is the better team and they were also the better team they deserved to become the champion but. the footballers of the impossible. it all on 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 did they get lucky or they really are the best thing is that the food but the football of today that they're doing the best players really. compare was on so in that way it is easy 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 find fun last bit because i think it is not to do with came plan because the came 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 goes knocking against. i think the first of against holland but brazil outplayed holland they scored only one goal and you know as lot is one no 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 like messi but if a lot of the top players from integral are sitting on the bench so maybe they have too many good players even being a dutchman you say that you say that it is not fair that. they have the orange team won against against brazil the. atmosphere at the end ok now you mentioned argentina what about marathon i thought it was wonderful. i'm not a footballer as precious 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 manager what do you think as as a manager well i think that is more. than who can start playing with a team with a cigar on the 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 don't underestimate the jobs from the coach during the tournament so maradona is there because of his background as as one of the best world players not as the best world coach. but do you agree with me that that the team especially team like argentina does need marathoner for the next world cup but i don't think i think. again. more nor is there because what i said about the past but the players accept him because of his background. so the story

different if you expect respect somebody about his quality as a coach ok what happened to the european football giants britain france italy. what's wrong with. a 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 the i work for all of us 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 at the very difficult to explain why they did well in the qualification and not in the tournament i.e. 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 kind of crazy games there was. everybody so you can all say it is in this game. i don't i don't think of very good individual players to do really well in france civilization problem generation problem well that has a solo to the coach to my opinion i think the expectation between coach and players was not there. the federation said we have to go on with the coach and i think after water that was the right decision ok now where did you personally watch the

final because i know you for some reason you didn't. accept the invitation of the dutch the relation to go to has been was the fight was that there was no invitation really it was in the newspapers but it. so why did you watch it. at home . ok so i was never turned those in the middle of what was your impression south africa was it really like very uncomfortable there many people said it well it was it was a great chambre go very uncomfortable for plays 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 we all we have to see change because that was doing the main target for african food bowl to get the world cup hopefully a change for the people who are living 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 i think you think syria what kind of reform what was only that i think a lot of people have a lot of fears about 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 of 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 there the devil are in the audience 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 girl or not how do you think the conflict in the end. what will be their. they're talking really i think ten fifteen years about this problem. not the first time but now with the situation what happened was the side goal. and the goal from. it begins again brought it again in the spotlight is in the salsa take part of the game. ok part of the game yeah you know if you're the favorite there is no problem but it is a disadvantage for. the decision to change but what we will change though 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. difficult so it was wise in the very beginning were invented that outside well yeah yeah so so so so you or you are conservative you you would keep it as it is you know you wouldn't change their mind what would you in the football rolls not the rules i think because what what what you mentioned about cameras. and the way we see it on television maybe just behind the net like in hockey a special judge. 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 our.

culture is the same i understand much better for you for some of you look at your mark bannerman discussions continue whether muslim women. mark appearing public with their faces dale is just. welcome back to spotlight time al gore 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 coach what do you prefer being a coach or a manager doesn't matter name is different to the minutes of the coast there's a different job because in england more or less the minute as i'm not training to squat the coaches who are doing that but in england the from in italy knows the meaning of the polish as they have p.p.i. only the fact of the student body knows the name of alex ferguson he is a manager because he responsible for everything so if it goes wrong they will fire him and not tell systems that 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 it both on the level of the national team you have to do those managing groove and coaching the group so but it doesn't

matter how tical of 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 the. not good enough. if you see the all sure if you see that the two final games against slovenia didn't play very bad and they will lose if you underestimate teams like savain here i'm not sure if they did but they have a chance to lose a game even a stronger team a russia a losing of a slow venue spotlights on the has tried to find out what can help the russians to succeed at the next world cup let's have a look on their day i'll try to find out what people in this country they did help russia football national team to succeed at the world cup 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 the russian one the more not i think 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 before i think the player salaries should be significantly cut then after showing good results during practices and games you should get a raise not we would be more of a to to do their best that is the only thing that can help our team to succeed. 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. out i've got be all like you got a question par 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 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 it was that way because i'm a she you first two years from reading it isn't hearsay 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 you said you want to play as you watch the the two one championship. are the young teams and that there isn't a single player that you would that you would put on your squad is the question is that people telling me asking we are you starting with new players and said listen i've seen some tournament soon to the vision to tell and to russia well the moment are not google for the first team and obvious realize as well the first two years on the end they did

a really great job qualifying did really well but the last two years were not good and the players are so realize that as well we have to change our edge to. the chances of russia winning the next european championship in two years today our estimate is twenty to one how much aiming to change these chances but in the coming two thirds of all the priority is that we are qualifying after that if you go to two tournament and that was always the focus from the national to the hole and if we go to a 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 forced into 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 football 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 they think he's crazy. because he said of those no senate when i arrive in senate he said we will become a major force in europe and that noble. zenit so what is three times everybody you know was in it everybody knows the players and that's the reason after all the success of your head a lot of players go abroad because of the cold they have brought but the teams in it so you can better say 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 i think good russian culture as well but for one of the reason they choose me must be a reason for that because there's not only misrepresent do the same go 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 that level where does more for. teams. not for the national numbers are different 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's thing that the problem is a little bit. we had no opportunities to play friendly games we've only won one game in august six months we did not do songs because for a 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 problem different tactics the us does for sure but probably with the majority of the players who are having was playing with so play what play as well as there will be not so many changes but

the system will be chancellor 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 i mentioned give you. the for both clubs and st petersburg for four years well the three and a half 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 preorder for me is too full of oil for the tunnel beside that and that's the reason as a sole mr filling with me and his wife to develop the young players making new programs and i think the must be enough talent and become three like russia

to get the talent on the right place does not only recognize the talents but also to bring them to the right positions so there's a lot to do their priority to me is well of occasional side thinking on the development of 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 it will go 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 misrepresent or put it in the newspaper just to get a discussion so the pros and cons to us we still have to discuss that says oh you're not sure that's going to happen i'm not sure. 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 first who was in this seat

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 the game 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 was to 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 their kids are wealthy their families very rarely become good sportsman so what is it like a chicken and egg question. too but i think it has more to do with the with other sports because football is one of the most cheaper sport there is you only need some boots and maybe the shirt you get from the club or from the school so if you have two little talents and that's a good thing for football you don't need so much money if you play tennis if you have 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 football is also great fun so definitely welcome to russia have fun then view thank you thank you very much 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 plod light will be back until then play an r.t. and take care of thank you as a good measure. am
