Kolinda: ‘I’m in America with a friend, it’s not cheap here’

– Yesterday I “escaped” from the meeting of the International Olympic Committee. I did my selection of new OI hosts, raised the anchor and left them alone. Yesterdayć I arrived in Washington by myself, and I came here by train. I intend to stay until the 21st of July. Being here for three weeks is not very cheap, so I boarded with friends. Tomorrow morning I will be around the city, and then Fifa will pick me up and take me to the stadium – she said.

She is delighted with the atmosphere in the city.

– You can see a lot of red and white squares around the city. Wonderful feeling, wonderful – she said.

She was surprised that the fans still remember the World Cup in Russia, where she attracted attention with relaxed performances and passionate goal celebrations that led us to second place.

– It’s incredible, everyone still remembers it, it’s a proof of how much power football has. I took a return ticket until July 21, I think that says enough about my expectations – concluded the former president.
