国际足球联合会(FIFA)主席塞普·布拉特称尽管巴西在很多事项上未能按时完成,但仍将准备好明年的世界杯。布拉特说在大型锦标赛的准备阶段延误是正常的。Alex Capstick报道。
Sepp Blatter said the stop-start nature of Brazil’s preparations for the 2014 World Cup was normal for the buildup to such a big tournament. His message was don’t be afraid. Perhaps any fears he may have harbored had been quelled by Brazil’s Sports Minister Aldo Rebelo who was sitting alongside the head of world football. But Brazil has delivered only two of the six venues promised for this year’s Confederation’s Cup address rehearsal one year ahead of the World Cup. The deadline to complete Rio’s iconic Maracana Stadium has been repeatedly put back.
塞普·布拉特说,巴西准备2014年世界杯这样大的锦标赛,在准备阶段出现暂停现象是正常的。他的意思是不必为此担心,就算他有顾虑,也会被坐在主席身边的巴西体育部长阿尔多·雷贝洛消弭了。但巴西仍未为今年的联合会杯预演做好准备,6个场地只完工了两个。里约标志性的马拉卡纳体育场的最后期限也一再推迟。
