another managers also take credit for that not. the compound of. football and them happy you can bank on the field of play if you question. because i'm more comfortable on the field of play. that's a definite. numbers a good player. and a star player but of us a good player but i have seen in football when i started in to think about developing the football then i have realized that football is more than kicking kicking a ball football is more than that but to be more you have to organize the game and the game was not organized the game was only for european europe and those for south america and then to go both wide and then we had a look on the laws of the game how are the laws of the game and then the laws they

have to to to be adapted adapted. to the development of the game the game became faster and then we have realized after the world cup in the eternally. ninety million on it area no one cares very boring world cup are in the us only defendants yeah defending the back pass to the goalkeeper. and i knew had referees at the line they wouldn't participate if the difference is in the center of the secretary general and. installed the so-called fi front two thousand group of specialist to change the way how did that work yeah i remember you put a group together to make a football more combative and more exciting how did that group work exactly what if they did it very good because everybody has realised the coaches the players the media even the rest. chris and realize that they were wrong to have

referees at the line because to be a linesman or to be a referee is different the linesman is a judge the referee is a referee has to say yes or no the other one has in or out so and then the two see that the match was lasting less than thirty minutes the whole match in the game when it was played because this back pass to the goalkeeper us and then they hit the known the respect of. let's say the. the strike was going and being then tackled from behind by saying oh it's no saying origin is a yellow card so we have to change that and this was a big big. big issue or discussion and we had players also we found that time already to michel platini in this does

that there and and really. so fast and never the international board has changed the rules then from one world cup to the other. we have made different changes the game board and four years later and united states was the faster it will radiate the first matches they had their people or players have been red carded because of it was called the foul thousand players last instance before outside of the sixteen of the eighteen yards line. and also we had no linesman nowaday on the line and the same to the british we have to say we have changed the scoring means the devaluation of the scores three points for a win to say let's go to win another. two points and so on so this was

the biggest change that have been made in the lows of the game to me about the players of today i mean you also have called them modern day slaves but this people are making millions of euros and dollars per week i mean the transfer fees they're just nuts they're getting bigger and bigger records are broken every year i don't see how football players are at a disadvantage share and how they're modern day slaves maybe you know something i don't i know that you didn't like this whole transfer fee. manny out where like hundreds of millions of. dollars were poured in one player and you wanted to change that but that didn't happen so this transfer system the way we see it right now is the only way for football or do you think it's still going to be changed in the future no easy it cannot be changed because it is based on the

so-called. economic principles that if you cannot change the only thing would fee for you to not do you have tried to do is to introduce this system called financial fair play see financial brain finances there are no fair finances there are columns that. make a rule that. a club should not of in between its. expenses that there should not be a too much great veriest of money coming from. but this is the same. rule where they cannot be successful so i know that you're not a big fan of the video assistant referee and it's going to be the first time during world cup two eighteen in russia that it's going to be used at this level of competition spoken to the organizers and they're actually saying that it's tested

working really well it's going to make judgement in football a lot easier what are your reservations what's to reason you mistrust that i don't mistress. develop of refereeing. you have started to. the goal line technology but it took three years until it was introduced because before you introduced a very important change in the laws of the game there must be some experiences made around the vote this is a principle of this international football association board the now and i was out there no fifa and they have no put in the so-called. bar video system the referee and this is not exactly what personally we have television to do we have not us television too good to be the referee of to game

and so i said it is not the time the four of the world cup to make such an experiment. before going to make an experiment. it shall be done in the different order competitions and vote about competition that can be the use competition the woman's competition in order to see how it's happened because now you have the majority of the referees they are now and about the world cup they have never to be if the system and you have also the majority of the players there they have never to be if the system so how so that's why i put a. that was. not. that they said the. international board the guardians of the laws of the game why you have permitted to do that but no it's done and done then seaboard will help and we're going to take

a short break right now when we're back we'll continue talking to accept the letter or talk about football and how it is perceived in today's world on the upcoming world cup stay with us. in july twenty seventh team. set up a freelance journalist working with a. militant showing in syria. his sacrifice quality has established a solid memorial of. the reporters who often risk. to truth through the piece you can see the published works in

a video all written form until june the twelfth to. follow we here in st petersburg attending the annual st petersburg international economic forum our topic is from the atlantic to the pacific we all know the world is changing we talk about what moves these changes and who's behind. or back with stepladder obviously. when power is changed or comes into power brings new sets of rules new teams so your successor. in fi thought also brought

a new team he changed everyone completely. most of the people in power are now former football players i don't know if it's a good thing or a bad thing i don't know what feeds on eats rather football players or x. coaches or good managers maybe you can tell me but also if you want to create an extended version of a club world cup there would be held every four years and twenty four club teams would take part i don't really understand the logic behind it i mean feel free explains that this is actually a great idea i will bring more competition to the game will make it more interesting for the fans. a couple of points did i want to ask you about first will . the football players i mean will they be so tired of playing this endless tournaments because there are just so many of them you know these are world cup the regional champions champions league comfort aeration cap olympic games. don't they need to also train and rest second of all the fans i mean it's great to have a lot of competitions but wouldn't that also dilute their attention from the main

thing which is the world cup yeah and also why would anyone want to give up you know their money i'm talking about the u.s. clubs why would they want to be part of the fifa world club. why the fifth of a cup is still number one interval old of any sporting event and they'd is in popularity five times more popular than the olympic games that i find out about that's one cat five i'm sorry but if a club world well yes i want to bet i craters that because the end of the question was delayed the world cup suffered the work of the not self no matter what not where the world but the international coal and it was so difficult to bring an international cullen the together no we knew competitions in this international calendar that's a nonsense because then the early degree gorean cullin the city hundred sixty five

days so we should ask to have somebody another calendar five hundred days and then it would be possible. plea. on the sole social or social. point of view it will always be the same clubs the same players the players they cannot it's impossible they have no more time to rest and if they have no more time to rest then they are injured and they are out. and this is another respect and not respect to the actors on the field of play that's first of all secondly the fans sorry the fans and at a certain time. they will have enough they will have enough because they open a television there is always football soccer all around survival. and and there are

so many competitions and the book which competition will then suffer the most if all this will be done the national league and the football is first of all. for the national day of the game because it's a national food both nationally and if they try it even now in europe they try to put the good matches of the champions league and the end of the week and the end of the week as always been for the national football not only the professional football i'm after football and all those then play at the end of the week and it's another respect these ideas it's a non respect to the players it's a non respect to the fans and fans and on expected the organization of football football is organized through national association fifa this is a not

a somebody or a confederation of national associations so i get the two points thank you and that their point is about the clubs there operate inside their own federations like champions league is part of you have why would they ever want to give up their revenues to find be part of this new fifa club world cup for instance. so far so far and until the end of two fifteen. finances in they that well i was very happy and proud to lead fifty. two point four billion one point four in the reserves one by one billion in cash but now fifa needs more money they need more money because they have changed demand . they have another approach new a new president here's another view how to organize fifa. as you have said to be

a form of footballers that's ok but a form of football they need also the schooling to be in the position they are they are know how did they get it before the people there and so it is because fifa is looking for more money that they are coming with if these new ideas and there is somewhere this offer from from a consortium of banks. speaking about japan saudi arabia usa they have put together twenty five billion dollars. to get these two committed asian countries twenty tonight they want to invest twenty five billion a year to actually reform fifa to buy out to two competitions that are you cannot buy competitions and that will be like a first time that you are selling competitions to a third party is it a good thing or a bad thing no. i have never in my in my

forty one years in chief never sold any competition to a party symbolism. i don't see if this happens they are going to own feet and they will be able to say where they want the competitions to be held right sure you cannot do football belongs not to fee for belongs not to your father football belongs to the two million two billion two billion. around devolved this is what the football belongs and you cannot sell out don't fumble to move to another and to to another entity this is also from the floor so think point of view how how you organize football importante social in the country the importance of the scheme for putting people together but. not abusing it is abusing this

game and abusing. players coaches everybody and the fans i talk to me about this possible investment of twenty five billion dollars into fee for reform i find it fascinating if you where right now active president of fifa you wouldn't take in those twenty five billion to reform no i would not sell out for such an investment if they want to give the feed for. twenty five million dollars but telling it is for development of football do it the best you can do then i will take it twenty five billion always comes with strings attached to their income as although it is given twenty five million for nothing and then now it's up to the fee for to decide on that but. i'm not convinced because it's a new it's a new era in fee for the sentence is absolutely wrong this is subsequently wrong so

i just want to ask you a question about the world cup that's going to take place in russia i know that six countries have boycotted the world cup but they're not sending politicians and representatives but they're still sending their teams it's not like it's going to have any bearing on the competition itself so what is the point of this kind of a boycott is it going to affect the world cup in russia in any way you know. and i'm not so sure if they're not coming at all this i'm not so sure. we will see if by any chance. if a team england to do well and just going to quarter final or final then the people in london that they will be on their chairs. you have to go to turn no no. and. boycott the competition

because of the of the geopolitical situation in the verge let football bring people together and i'm sure that this vocal will be an exceptional goodwill cup on the field of play but also for the image for the fifa the image of russia to show that they are able to organize a vote up but russia has been in the past month past yes now so much under. pressure. but there was never. say a very concrete demand that invoke option not to play dead all those they don't like that the world cup a center russia thinking twice or three times to say no we should not go there you should boycott it know that it would not be good that would not be good

because it's in so don't let the food know that it's a power house there it is russia powerhouse. here football and politics together in steve devoted cup that gives no russia more power and this power host not to be it could. not those they are not there ok. so the twenty twenty six world cup will also have more teams competing it's going to be forty eight versus thirty two the problem with that in my opinion is that with more teams come. much more of a boring games i mean it's one thing to watch france and argentina everyone wants to watch it but like who wants to watch i don't know mel asia and saudi arabia play and there's going to like much more games like that i mean you tell me yourself in the ninety's there was like one of the most boring world cups how do you make sure that more teams don't mean more boring football. what's wrong to play the first

forty eight teams absolutely wrong. the the the number of thirty two. has no. a. system to play in the thirty days or the one days and where that definitely the best by any bad chance like like italy. and netherlands for the sam route that the forty eight teams footed teams will dilute the quality to it first and secondly they do know the problem is they want to play in the group space league and we have already played in groups by sweden spain in the second part of the. world cup eighty two way and for the first twenty four teams and then you have groups by three you have always a spectator one is not playing so the last match in

a group by serie it is open for all. i would say for all possible bad. thoughts that there are grounds for gold when you play and you speak about football and you speak about fixed matches of whatever the play view of the group specially is absolutely wrong totally wrong you're coming to the world cup to tournaments what do you expect to see me who are you going to root for i mean obviously this wests are going to be champions but what do you think is going to take the silver. ok here really for. now now i. guess the of of. mr

putin president. good thing i have been honored to be in it and i'll be there but anyway anyway. i have my opinion on the teams that would be. the best at the end who i have four teams but i don't put them in one to four and put them together just for favorites who are there forty. for good to go to brazil. france germany spain no argentina no. so let's wait and see thank you so much for this wonderful interview so much for this we speak and we're expecting it to see you in russia we have great pleasure thank you thank you can cure it.

that. kid. you don't jump into can do it on jay the only thing i'm the most wrong in that are

equal to tens of thousands of what he calls a stance me. don't need then suddenly i'm doing. movies that to those wooden men as a solution sometimes i would ask you to halt the sitting on. the legacy call guys are the winners the legacy oil guys are the winners the legacy all central bankers are the winners innovation you dynamism the constitution the bill of rights these are the losers in this america. elliston is getting international recognition with the help of israel at least in the world of zoos i'm in bills to decommission to do it loving you i committed these with my complicity just going out to study hall may be

a bit. old john stuff for the shit the only palestinians who gets the most hopeful is jerusalem counterparts i don't think there's some of those ruined the world over bush did not only could give us a. and that's. how i know if you compete in the customs you do more in the middle don't piss off. his head in stories donald trump and kim jones moon are in singapore for a historic summit it will be the first ever meeting between a u.s. president and the north korean. teams from around the world arrive for the feed for

world cup sell news continue to push stereotypes about russian football to austrian filmmakers came here to buy some to get. back and i'm told to go there and also look in there on the fence. the nine year old girl is placed in rio for her addiction to a game where her parents find distressing changes in her behavior a former psychologist tackling the issue for us. i think video games a part of our culture now and i think computer games have been around for a long long time our children are losing a little bit of the sight as to what's real and what's maybe virtual.

just a few moments into a brand new day here in moscow this is our t. international good to have your company my names you know and we'll in three hours time double trouble on kim jong will start their historic. in singapore the schedule has been revealed by the white house to start with trump on kim will hold a one to one meeting company elite by their translators delegations from the two countries will then convened for talks on a working lunch it is hoped their discussions will lay the groundwork for peace on the korean peninsula as far as washington is concerned it's all going well so far. they're in fact moving quite rapidly and we anticipate they will come to their logical conclusion even more quickly than we had into subpoenaed and we'll see where we get but i'm very optimistic that we will have a successful outcome from tomorrow's meeting between these two leaders it's the

case in each of those two countries there are only two people that can make decisions of this magnitude in those two people are going to be sitting in a room together tomorrow well it will be the first ever meeting between a sitting u.s. president and the north korean leader in singapore is stumping up an estimated fifteen million dollars for hosting the one day event and he just seti delves into what else makes the event so significant. when it comes to the on off summits between the u.s. president and north korean leader it appears trump has a track record of making impromptu decisions and this historic meeting may fall on another swift judgement how long will it take to figure out whether or not this as i said maybe in the first minute trumps a level of seriousness is hard to measure so far we've seen insults and threats of a nuclear war which have suggested anything but progress in the past north korea best known are getting more interest of the united states. they will be met with

fire fury. like the world has never seen a frightened dog barks louder i will surely definitely tame the mentally deranged us daughter and with fire now the stage is set the capella hotel on sentosa island sentosa meaning peace and tranquility perhaps at least the name will rub off on the fire relatedness when it comes to negotiations is set they shouldn't even enter the meeting room by the same door this is to avoid perceptions that one into first and is waiting for the other it will all be choreographed through with the president and mr kim each side will try to add some stops to get advantage the question that hope is a very many decisions is what will choose the menus what will they drink of trumps the teetotal and then there's the touchy subject of who pays for what during the pay on chang lympics the south korean government.
