I am very satisfied, and it was happy to come back now after one year. My last visit was in June, 2006. In the meantime, I have had sometimes impression that I have to take a big and shuffle and come down here and, and work.

You said earlier today that South Africa is generally on track. Um, are there areas, what do you mean by generally, are there areas they need to improve on?

Yeah, definitely, definitely. If they could be finished now, then that they could lay down and sleep and smile. No, they have to work, they have to work but they have good concepts, and I have seen today also the concept of transport, and I’m sure that they are doing their homework well. And there will be an absolutely successful welcome to stand behind the South Africa despite the fact there have been some, some reports that there may be some problems here or there. There are problems, if you organize such a, such a big competition, but people are able to match the problems, identify the problems and then to solve them.

You have made a lot personally to help South African, Africa get, get the 2010 World Cup, what does it mean to you personally?

Er, listen, this, I have to say it’s a little bit my project for noting my baby, because it will be a too big baby. But when I started to work for FIFA, it’s now more than 32 years ago. I started my activity as a technical director of FIFA in Africa. And I have realized that football is more than kicking the ball, especially in Africa. I have seen what football can bring to the counties in Africa, to the continent. Er, it is more than hope. It is, it is a way of life. It is a school of life to bring football herein. So therefore, I had all this idea, one day, we have to reward African football and African footballers with the event which is the World Cup.

Are you hopeful that by 2010, you will have goal line technology?

We will have goal line technology, definitely. But I am not so sure that the goal line technology will be add to something to the game. Because the game must maintain its human face and human face is that the uncertainty of the football. And from time to time you can not see, er, has the ball entered or not. And if you emember the 1966 final between England and Germany, they are still speaking… yeah, you are too young, yeah. But they are still, still speaking about goaled or not goaled. But if we have the environment accurate, the accuracy, then we will use it definitely not only for the World Cup, also for the Confederation’s Cup. And the first one we can use it officially is in the World Club Championship. And perhaps of the end of this year, in Japan.

Another question, high-altitude games, I know, this has become bit of a controversy, especially in South America. The ban on high-altitude games, which is not rash to ban them, because one country complained.

No, we are not banning. I think the information was not what it presented. There is a possibility to play football in high altitude if you have the adequate time for a* m*. But if you don’t have that, then it is said by the doctor, the medical part, not by me. By the medical part, and if you play higher up than 2500, they may be saying this doesn’t matter. But if you play higher up and you have no time for *, it can have an impact on your health. And this is to be a big problem. And we are only speaking about the qualification mattress of the World Cup.
