Script:
SOUNDBITE: (English) Jerome Champagne, FIFA Presidential candidate (on whether he'll stand against incumbent President Sepp Blatter):
"I can only repeat what I said in the press conference earlier, for the moment, I am the only candidate which has declared and I will not answer hypothetical questions - life is full of evolutions. Definitely I cannot answer what will happen because everyone is asking me whether I will stand if Mr Blatter is standing, but no one is asking me what if others stand. I don't answer hypothetical questions."
