really you adopted such a different approach to this campaign to the one you adopted when salt she won the winter olympic games what i mean is why you stayed away here and was so prominent in going to quote somalia. you are. doing this. because you are just a bit it would be another one there but most of it was because. what was. it was made to you know. abuse no you know everybody. would like. but if you have the the struggle for. but i will put it there riot have been always today olympic games should be on our for the world cup. super these situations are different but it. is the reason why is in this fight was very harsh

very sore on the us would do but it was the hide for. two thousand for it since. there was no will at the compound i'm out of. information. is that. the. that we have to leave the members. of the alone when. without any of pressure on the part of. the party. position to make an objective decision. therefore. i told my colleague. sports minister of the russian federation who is the member.

of the executive committee i asked him to forward. but my position to explain my position i asked him to say that i asked him to tell the executive committee there will not present this. there where i didn't want him all . for the answers but it doesn't mean that. it doesn't mean that we just respect the family members and the members of the executive committee on the contrary this should. respect to them i believe it's an acceptable complain that was deployed. for a holding of the football championship and. i asked mr moore to. choose if the honor of holding positions is given to russia. i promise with the same day i. will definitely meet with breasts i will differ.

with present water and we're just. the way we would keep working together together with her together with the executive committee of. the plans for holding the world. and that's exactly what i did and i would like to make this sound louder because i can't hear the translation. but please go ahead the floor is yours the floor is yours. can't hear the question. he said that it was unacceptable. to host the twenty.

in the last but he says far as i can imagine. they blamed people without any more is that head being considered and not proved. this can be considered as an attempt of fresh air in the. i believe it's an acceptable that's it that's all i can say about it nothing to. furthermore. there world media what kind of business is that but these are signs. on just competence please the floor is yours. both. you know i have a question mr blatter told me on a number of times that he's interested in russia because russia is not just a countries have an entire continent and he didn't conceal it that he was interested in haven the world cup there did you have the chance to talk to a few phosphorescent and what. you know president talked. of the

beating committees. and there is no secret here it's not forbidden. but i can tell you mr mcauliffe just informed me that mr blatter. is a very objective person and i cannot say that he has some kind of a special. attitude towards russia moreover in german today's hearing today's procedure made us worry quite a while quite a bit and. defended our lead in a right way in a proper way moreover we were proceeding from the fact that arab eating. matches the philosophy of far which is. expanding. the limits of the world of football the borders of the world of football by covering countries and territories is that. there are many people in russia meal is

a little like football but we have never held not in russia not in the former soviet union but nowhere in eastern europe we've never helos to the world cup. but when you don't want to we formulated our beating during our very first steps we're thinking about it you know you believe that we've fought the decoded reckon with that circumstance sort of ran with the purpose of expanding the borders of world football would grant us with their pride of hosting these competitions as first second. or are they going. to feel the consequences of their role the financial crisis in many european countries are facing some serious financial problems. also has a number of problems. and current supply is third in the world five hundred million dollars. we have

a stable development in four percent a year in a near stime is our growth of a gun in the nearest time we are preparing for the world the olympics in cousin. and hosting the winter olympics. in which two parts of our country where we're in for the largest the world i'm. in any case in those places we are building something totally new the newest infrastructure i would have and i believe all of the circumstances. by them are considered by their members a fee if i joined their votes to please the floor is yours. did you feel yesterday and the day before there was. these wiki leaks allegations about russia and the way referees govern today did you think that may

damage russia's chance of winning the vote their western press is running quite a lot of stories. about russia at the moment. for me this is a totally new. i have have heard for. i haven't heard of any kind of nations or any hints in a condemnations about russia i have never heard anything about it. indeed. i was planning on coming here you know i did present our beating. and for me it was a difficult decision to give up this trip. except for those circumstances which i mentioned just a while ago. i believe that i had to give the chance to the members of the executive. calmly without any pressure i will not hide it at all my colleagues.

here they were waiting for my arrival. but explain to. my motives what is and we know what the results are i did the right thing please the floor is yours. please the floor is yours. two questions number one were you at any time concerned that your gamble of staying away. for the final presentations. and the second question were you surprised. that you won the vote in just two rounds thank you. if the second question is.

where you. just said it was a difficult decision for me it was hard for me to make that decision not. before the vote. let me repeat again you haven't weighed stances in heaven and. i made the decision which we're all aware about i decided not to and of course it was difficult for me. i think there were a little upset as we talked to them on the phone a number of times and they were trying to persuade me to. have said no this is. as you do the work and let. their final decision and there. was a major then others and we won that's how it happened but

. i think her reply to that question winning in two rounds. we weren't aware of course we had no idea whether we would. believe that we had to . be sure. that we won in a second and we had no idea but that. for us it was totally unexpected please the floor is yours and. you're here. you have to speak louder because i'm far away. many things were said here. and. needs these world cup in order to show a different country which should surely can you please tell me your vision of this country. but first of all we have to show that we are an open could

open to the world. and when people get here there will learn for themselves what russia is there are a lot of stereotypes and stamps from the past times but there are more contacts we have the more of these stereotypes so will disappear to be having such events such large events. university games the olympic games. football world cups they will enable. us to implement this test will enable for at least our continental europe would you finally live without the visible and invisible walls of berlin please the floor is yours. clearly believes today that it was cheated do you believe that.

no i don't believe so. you know if you see great football country you will notice. in our own country in russia there are many admirers of your football in general and your players in particular. but great britain lost. and at last a quiet heart and we cannot wait to see you at their world cup in two thousand and eighteen and we will provide you with the best conditions for showing your talents of your english football players. the flyers are there with. feel free to ask your question. nonetheless a question from the sun. nonetheless england. is

a football country a wish we still have a lot to grow to reach it will go one of the famous for. that in our russian championship everything is. already decided iraq and forty or sixty percent do you think it's relevant that perhaps it's now time to apply political will you know order to. order in our football during these years to make it as clean as. i'm not sure that english football is that clean one hundred percent. upset there is absolutely nothing absolutely in our name is shared but if something happens like that it's so mystery a lot of work but there is something we have to keep striving for this gentleman talk. and we will be striving for that definitely. this morning we saw five prime ministers and a future king of

a country come and address. you are the one prime minister that stayed away so would it be fair to say that you all the cleverest prime minister in the world by staying away and winning the contest from so many thousands of miles away. by sea where the game here is very center said. it was not by chance that i was. proposing that you should take the floor so very nice for me to hear this but let's now hear from this part of interest let me. please give the microphone to. you know. did you know that spain portugal was. your biggest or your strongest rival.

certainly did win. so we had an approximate understanding. of what countries were our main rivals but nonetheless it was just approximate assessment. nobody knew for sure. members would choose and how they would vote so initially all the experts and journalists who were dealing with this issue. they knew the end was leading then other rivals started going forward but. were proceeding from the fact that. spain and portugal beating was a serious threat for us. however this is not a secret either we know that. they weren't really inclined to show us the double beatings. so that was something that was setting us towards the

victory that was sitting us into victory spirit and it sure not to be true but you know now there is information going on for the european championship and there are certain. i'm sure that our colleagues will. manage in ukraine and poland they will find but a double beating always a spread responsibility i diluted responsibility i know what. they're in for a. beating had its own advantages but it had its weaknesses and we were aware of that. please feel trace of florrie series putting i'm a journalist from brazil i have two questions on on football itself you said that today you won but your national team hasn't been to a world cup for some time already and if during the soviet union you were very big superpower in sports today you're not what is going to happen from now until two

thousand and eighteen to guarantee that not only russia qualifies but russia qualifies and does something and by the way what are you going to be in two thousand and eighteen. was led to come on the years you know the south africa scene where did it go. i think it hasn't been a new worry in either. actual meaning of. the world cup in different parts of the world is that actually. promoting the popularity of this kind of. heaven millions and millions of new people joining this kind of sport sport admirers and players if we keep seeing their world cup always in the one country all the time it will never expand and develop therefore we really count on the fact that the actual fact of posting the world cup in preparation for hosting the work will

serve as a good push for developing football in russia. an entire program for football development has been implemented and we will continue this works schröder a country in spite of what having spent five hundred good morning grounds for playing football. practically in all regions of russian federation. practically in each large city and town are the more there for us this is a challenge. this is a kind of a challenge which i hope lead to development of football and i perceive that will have new players and. will show. the football i went as far as petitions our clubs are playing and as you know sometimes our clubs are playing very well if not to say brilliantly in their win in games the floor is

yours. russian reporter. first of all i would like to congratulate you on this. and you to thank you when i would like to ask. our country israel of fast and large and practical of their world. provide our regions up to. do with sabeer and russian and. i think we can a developed everything at once that's first inside. we're talking about it it's a center of the country and thirdly we have to proceed from there wishes and requirements. even though. ten or twelve or thirteen cities. has to be. enable people to travel back and forth. speaking today when presenting they said he was born in the.
