RFU President commented on the resignation of the General Secretary of FIFA Jerome Valcke because of suspicion of corrupt activities.

– The man wanted
 to come to the celebration, did not come. In principle, all these things are expected,
 It does not need to politicize this around. This is not the last day:
 investigations are jurisdictional bodies of America and Switzerland. Users
 work, learn something. They have announced that there will be some other
 investigation, even some accusations … until the work is completed, we
 should be ready for such decisions.

There are some
 charges against Valcke. He decided to resign so as not to
 was pressure on FIFA. For us, to prepare for the 2018 World Cup is not
 reflected. We have all these points have already passed. Approved the schedule of the game,
 Base commands, training fields, the World Cup budget established by the Council of FIFA,
 the organizing committee … We are in a good mode of working with FIFA. Any problems we
 here we do not see.

Of course, Valcke -
 very professional person held more than one World Cup, it was for us a very
 important. But we understand that in February 2016 there will be elections of the new
 President of FIFA, and so will the new administration, new people. We
 it should not in any way discourage. We agreed with Blatter on
 the creation of the department, we are working with them, they have a special people,
 that only the 2018 deal – said Mutko.
