"We need to work in unity and discipline. Once I return from the FIFA congress, I will meet with all those who did not show up at this elective General Assembly. We need to be talking, because football, which is our common passion, requires respect and discipline. This is a new ride altogether, and no one should be left behind. If they are not in today, they will certainly jump in along the way. I urge you to talk them into returning home, so we could get the best of results", he pointed out.
