to produce certain confidence in us and then of course the support of our people the enthusiasm that our people manifested along the way the english reaction to russia's winning the right to host the cup with an exactly the most gracious but also the reaction to their own defeat going out in the first round there was a lot of theories reaction in the british press we surprise about this already yes and. there was of course a big build up. towards the final presentation in the media which which could have been a factor in in their lack of success but then we think our bid is totally within thief's philosophy that is to. move the world cup to new regions open up new horizons to really expand the power of football and. stretch it over over huge regions.

they had that they had a good bit in general. were great that it turned out this way but i mean you have to know how to lose to not only winning takes a lot of pressure but losing to what happens now obviously russia is one big host woke up what's going to happen in sort of two thousand and ten two thousand and eleven these initial stages think the main task for us would be to prove that we are a good partner for fee for a partner that can begin working now first trip of fee for officials is end of january we intend to prepare for that to begin working on the on the project matters developing the timescale and really moving along well russia of course because it's going to come under immense media scrutiny well i mean you've had enough media scrutiny to be president self but is russia ready for this you

think absolutely no we've been. very keen on staying clean. not raising even even a shadow of the doubt or suspicion about our activity we are we don't have to get ready for a new scrutiny we are ready any time both local and foreign authorities to look into what we've been doing and maybe it's the. quality of our activity. accounts for. the fact that we have never been. part of any new smear campaigns or any any suspicions any scandals there was one suggestion which was quite absurd which came along on the way but in general we weren't really a target for that when racism hooliganism are a problem in russia as they are in much more developed nations that just italy spain how do you expect to tackle these problems ahead of the two thousand and eighteen world cup well first of all. russian football union has. made it very

clear by by the statement of its ruling body the executive committee that it's it's this something that it it really would like to address in the nearest future they dealt with a memorandum on combating any meth manifestation of racism. would show we think would be a foundation for certain activities. in the end these activities would be very effective sort of mean for structure which is obviously going to help russia massively building new roads new transport systems new stadiums of course one of the fact is can help the development of russia by winning the right to host woke up in europe in all this factor is of course the economic potential of russia i mean. russia's golden cards series are are substantial russia's economy is on the rise. g.d.p.

seven percent annually we do not see any obstacle on the way of successful investment projects in the way of successfully. creating this infrastructure that is much needed not only for the world cup but for forward normal life standard in this country in general and many many people now think that we need this interest infrastructure specifically for the world cup we don't the world cup will benefit from the natural course of development in many of our countries regions but not just economically able to socially as well because russia's going to be opened up to hundreds of thousands perhaps millions of supporters are going to come over to watch the woke up and spots dispel some myths about russia which amongst people in the west the reputation image benefits are immense. it's very hard to overstate them because we it was our intention in the first place to really show a totally different country to the world to really see what it's like here that

it's no different from any other country that we do share the same problems same issues but at the same time it's not it's not something strange something hostile something weird going on in this country but also could help develop football in russia as the moment unfortunately stadiums health and to premier league games i mean sponsors moscow have the highest average attendance but it's only thirty five thousand which is hardly comparable to any sort of club around. europe so you think this couldn't miss world cup could get a kick in the right direction get more people more families attending much as well absolutely we. were talking about heritage about the legacy and this legacy is not only. perfect infrastructure it's about the overall rise of interest to football the number of people who play football who are interested in football will train football so not only the interest toward football will grow but there will be

wonderful stadiums double. perfectly this rise of interest and so it's it's sort of a parallel lines along which football will be developed one of human and the other is infrastructural and both of these lines will lead towards. increased attendance was not just about football stadiums but also about academies academy which was built entirely at sea which was received a lot of support from proceeding when he was manager of the russian national football team a many more of these economies going to be set up in the build up to the woke up around the country of course no there is there is a specific plan in the russian football union to think these academies now will grow intensely in the country there is a particular need now to to produce by two thousand and eighteen the best possible national team and of course there is going to many efforts directed towards towards descend to the couple final questions i mean how difficult has it been for you

personally how are you feeding the night before bed i how has how the last few months been think you lot of sleepless nights moderately confident a little nervous. we were not. that nervous about the final presentation i mean we've done a lot of presentations we've spoken to these people we've done individual presentations so it wasn't about the audience because the atmosphere during the final presentation was very friendly it was about the decision of course and we felt that this nervous pressure significant increased closer to four o'clock when the word rush appeared from the envelope. but some magic and of course there's a lot of discussions a lot of fears so it's also a question about corruption and corruption is a drive word of president made the difficult moment to try and root out corruption in various societies within russia how is the russian bid going to stay away from this how they're going to make sure that corruption is in the pot doesn't have any

effects the best way to stay away from corruption isn't to be used to not to be part of it. that's exactly what we intend to do simply not be part of it not to partake in some processes which we feel can run counter to certain ethical principles. we know that. the world cup is not the business of l o c it's a joint endeavor by thief and delicacy so it's working in partnership it's trusting each other. and so a lot of good things can spring up from this cooperation with thief i mean if i give you extra incentive in a way because you knew the media scrutiny to be so much harsh on russia if you did slip up don't even one think about it but if we if we did slip up again it would be a notable failure notable failure but still there are some some speculations which

we read now. here in there appear people who claim that it's russia could have been could not have been on this but we simply neglect these things i mean that everybody is entitled to their own opinion. it's strange that we are regarded this way by. some weird people but we we were quite tolerant to this will russia be drawing all my expenses it's a done in jordan who is head of the south african but committee but german bid committee which has the world cup in two thousand and six x. from will comp will be drawn. in their experience of course where you would know many of the organizers of these two successful world cup personally will certainly use their experience their expertise we know mr giordano very well he came to russia as part of the inspection commission i'm sure it's not it was not his last trip to our country sure there's going to be many more we have excellent relations

with the german national association sure we will be in contact with them so we but most of the knowledge transfer will come from of course that's the organization where a lot of experience have been collected over many years well the phase he said going to be there can expect in january what are they going to be looking at what are they going to be trying to find out from the russian side the sort of inspection it's a working visit we don't know the contents we believe it's going to be preliminary discussions and some being out of what needs to be done at what time so it's basically. a project management meeting i would say things that are so much like of the next few weeks the next few months and experience thank you very much thank you.
