Brazil's athletic minister critiqued "unacceptable" comments by FIFA secretary general Jerome Valcke about slow provisions for the 2014 World Cup and said Saturday that the government tactics to cut bonds with him.
Sports minister Aldo Rebelo said "the government can no longer have the secretary general as an illustrative" and called for FIFA to allocate another official.
On Saturday, Valcke said Rebelo should discourse the snags and called the move youthful.
Ahead of a visit to Brazil in a week, Valcke flashed the conversation by sending a dulled message to coordinators on Friday: "You have to thrust yourself, buzz your (backside)."
Valcke said "things are not occupied in Brazil" and "not a lot is moving" with arena edifice and substructure revamp just two years before the World Cup and a year before the Associations Cup.
"We have always had an affable attitude toward everybody from FIFA here in Brazil," Rebelo said. "We can't admit to hear such a violent comment. He can't say something like that about a country. It's intolerable."
Rebelo said he comprehends Valcke will keep his obligations as FIFA's secretary general and work closely with local coordinators, but the Brazilian government will not comfy him when he comes to the country.
"We will endure to have a connection with FIFA and we will continue getting them well," he said. "We are just articulating the situation of the Brazilian government (in relative to Valcke)."
Valcke suspect Rebelo of making justifications and ignoring the glitches faced by organizers.
"Why doesn't he deal with the matter?" Valcke told journalists Saturday at a conference of soccer rule-makers in England. "If (I'm) the unruly because nothing has ensued over the five years ... because I made, wow, one comment saying things are not occupied well and I for once said precisely what is trendy in Brazil -- if the effect is they don't want to talk to me anymore, I'm not the fella they want to work with, that's a bit infantile."
Rebelo said Valcke's comments deny FIFA's own appraisal of the country's arrangements after a visit in January.
"The secretary general made an appraisal that does not resemble to the evidences or the reality," Rebelo said. "We have to reminisce that the World Cup will be in Brazil because Brazil was elected to crowd it. We didn't levy this nor were we drawn (in a lottery) for this."
The minister said Brazil will apprise FIFA premier Sepp Blatter of the verdict to have Valcke replaced as the person guilty for working with the government in the nation's provisions.
Next week, a crew of nearly 40 people from FIFA and the local establishing group will examine six of the 12 crowd cities. The other six will host the Associations Cup in 2013 and were reviewed last year.
The World Cup city of Porto Alegre is in hazard of being plunged. Renewal on the Beira-Rio ground clogged more than eight months ago after a deficiency of financial assurances.
