The former DFB President Theo Zwanziger Has the world association FIFA and his President Gianni Infantino sharply criticized. “If you want to make money with football, my wish that you simply let these ethical coats that you always hang up. You just let you say we are doing football and that is a big business today,” said twenties in the podcast “Calcio d’Oro”.
The 79-year-old was German leader between 2004 and 2012. It would be an honest attitude if you simply admit that you are essentially “entertainment and circus”, said Zwanziger, who above all sees the role of association boss Infantino critically. “To pretend that you are actually the world improver is wrong. Infantino is not a role model for football. If he jumps around there, he should rather come as a circus director.”
FIFA as a money machine
The ex-official complained about the abundance of power of the Swiss. The FIFA is a money machine, unfortunately nobody has to open it. Infantino decide where world football is going. “He has it in his hand to create a tournament somewhere again where they all make a lot of money. If the officials are allowed to go there and take the millions with them, they are calm and say nothing more,” criticized twenties. This is the method “with which you can hold corrupt organizations in a sport like football”.
