Zitat des Tages von Sepp Blatter:
Because I love football and I love the footballers.
What we have to do is to find a solution that the interests of the national teams are respecting the interests of the clubs. And also the clubs they shall respect the interests and the aspirations of national teams.
There is a movement in club football, which I don't necessarily consider a prime example of solidarity, because it leads us to conclude the rich are getting richer and they are using everything in the market to create an exodus from Africa.
Racism and discrimination of any kind have no place in football.
I have no problem with G14. How can I oppose something that as far as I am concerned, does not exist?
FIFA's goal of making the world a better place through football cannot be achieved through our efforts alone - equally important is the power which every fan of the beautiful game has at their disposal.
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.
It's up to the national associations and their leagues to limit the entry of foreign players.
The source of wealth is from individuals with little or no history of interest in the game, who have happened upon football as a means of serving some hidden agenda.
Yes, in general, I think there is too much club football on TV.
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.
As long as you've got serious investors who wish to put money into football, I applaud. It proves that football is attractive. What upsets me, what I find scandalous, is when clubs accept fools.
What I am most proud of is the legacy of hope that FIFA and football leaves around the world. It makes all of the efforts and energy I pour into this job worth it.
The important thing for me was that the World Cup should travel round the world.
Fifa cannot sit by and see greed rule the football world. Nor shall we.
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.
