Final Euro 2008 visit, Putin and Medvedev
Minister of Sports of Russia and President of the Russian Football Union (RFU) Mutko told that the finals of Euro 2008 will visit the country's president, Dmitry Medvedev and Prime Minister Vladimir Putin - though in the event of a Russian national team in the final stage of the competition.
"I know that both our leaders genuinely fear for the team - in particular, only today was talking about that with Vladimir Putin. Fly any of them or not - this is a very delicate question. "
"We have a welded support group of top officials, politicians, famous businessmen, with whom, as it turned out, did not lose. Change its composition at the semi-final stage is probably inappropriate. But in the final will be a completely different drama, it's almost tournament in the tournament. And in the presence of Medvedev or Putin in the finals, with the participation of our team I am pretty sure "- said Mutko, as reported SportWeek.
