– The 2018 World Cup is over. What emotions are you experiencing now?
– The whole range of emotions There is a joy that all has ended and has ended successfully. It is not up to us to evaluate, but everything planned is done. I also have a pretty weird feeling: nine years of work have ended, and this sounds like the feeling conveyed by Marmeladov: "Do you understand, dear sir, what does it mean when he does not know?" Is there any other place to go? There is devastation. And not only me, but also many colleagues who gave a significant part of life to the project. There are employees who are in the business since the beginning, from the first letter we wrote in 2008 to Vladimir Putin. These seven people have already worked on the concept, and I think there is havoc for everyone.
– The ball at the throat did not roll after the final whistle of July 15th.
– I will not lie Project work always has an end. So, it differs from stable. This work is not for everyone. That's for
– What's more difficult – to promote the application or conduct a tournament?

– Have there been any congratulations from the presidential administration for the success of the championship?
– It is necessary to ask what are the estimates. I do not know about it. I can judge from the speech of Vladimir Putin during a concert in honor of the closing at the Bolshoi Theater. A high level of organization was noted. We are grateful for this evaluation. But understand, this is not our personal project. Everyone has contributed. Many employees responsible for the presidential administration were involved in our daily activities as well as the members of the organizing committee. And the government has made efforts, and the regional authorities. It's the work of the system, not an organization. It is hard to say who worked and who is the least. I have already said that we issued 300,000 accreditations of workers. Not for visiting games, for work! You can understand the scale.
– What time did you go to sleep after the World Cup final?
– At four o'clock in the morning
– It was not necessary to come to work? !! (laughs) But I always went to our office at the hotel "Ukraine". I walked a little and left. We met with FIFA colleagues who were leaving. With some of them went out for dinner at night, they said goodbye warmly
– With Infantino?
– No, with others.
– Will your employees participate in the work of the "Qatar-2022" organizing committee? . While she's wearing an abstract character. But colleagues in Zurich note that our valuable experience should not be lost.
– How many matches have been visited and what has been the most memorable?
– I did not count exactly, but I think I visited half of it. Was in all cities, in some
– A whole month, the reaction from anywhere was very positive. Did you hear something
– There were several letters about the non-issue of the fan's pbadports. But here we can not do anything – it is not our competence. The rest is really positive continuous. And it's a little scary – it's too good. Even residents of the areas adjacent to the stadiums, which we created inconvenience, did not complain. Apparently, the atmosphere in the country has penetrated all the houses.
– And who was not given [fanfade-Aidi] to ours or to foreigners?
– And so on. Who could not reach the stadiums, they did not touch. The surveillance was conducted jointly by law enforcement agencies from different countries
– What are you proud of at the end of the World Cup?
– Our people. We can arrange transportation, volunteers, accreditation, stadiums to build. But it is impossible to organize sincere hospitality and hospitality. It came from people. For which they are very grateful.
– 2018 World Cup – the best of history?
– It's difficult for me to participate in these evaluations and even less compare to other tournaments. How to estimate you? If such an opinion is, it is already good. Indeed, the President of FIFA, who visited a dozen tournaments, spoke about it. It turns out that they did not work in vain.
– Problems
– Of course, but of an operational nature. The difficulties were visible only for the organizers
– How will the Loujniki be used after the World Cup?
– This is the basic stadium of the Russian national team. Also the matches of the Russian Cup will take place. No matter which country should have a big flagship stadium. For concerts,
– Final of the Champions League?
– Straight out of the tongue! We will try to put the stadium in competition, so that the final of the Champions League is accepted. By 2020, this is impossible because UEFA has decided that the organizing countries of the European Championship could not nominate candidates for the finals of this year's European Cup. But since 2021, you can start a dialogue. And the "Luzhniki" and stadium of
