I do not feel that I have a mandate from the entire world of football - the fans, the players, the clubs, the people who live, breathe and love football.

There is no systematic corruption in FIFA. That is nonsense. We are financially clean and clear.

The World Cup must remain the number one competition, because it is our only source of money and, with that money, we can develop football in the whole world.

I think it is high time that Europe starts to understand that we do not rule the world anymore, and that some former European imperial powers can no longer impress their will on to others in far away places, and we must accept that football has moved away from being a European and South American sport: it has become the World Sport that billions of fans are excitedly following every week, everywhere in the world.

I have no problem with G14. How can I oppose something that as far as I am concerned, does not exist?

Racism is if there are spectators or, outside the field of play, there are movements to discrimination, but, on the field of play, I deny that there is racism.

Liverpool have won everything but never a World Championship. I am sure in the future they will once again make the effort to win the tournament. They have had good rhythm in the Premier League this season.
