Manchester City midfielder Yaya Toure has offered to help Russian government tackle the problem of racism ahead of next year world cup.
Toure says the mundial will be a "big mess" if it is marred by racism and discrimination.
Toure, 34, was the subject of racist chants when City played CSKA Moscow in the Champions League in Russia in 2013.
He wants to help Fifa and the Russian government tackle the problem in the build-up to next summer's tournament.
"We have to see change because people have been talking but nothing has really been taken care of," he added.
Last month, Liverpool complained to Uefa about alleged racist abuse directed at winger Bobby Adekanye during a Uefa Youth League match at Spartak Moscow.
In 2015, former Arsenal midfielder Emmanuel Frimpong was sent off while playing for Russian side FC Ufa after he gestured to the crowd with his middle finger in response to alleged monkey chants.
"Everyone is talking about Russia maybe being a little bit difficult. But I hope that Russia surprises everybody by trying to make something very nice," Toure said.
