Joseph Blatter to the attack of Gianni Infantino. The former president of Fifa harshly criticized the top manager of world football’s governing body: “What is FIFA today? It is made up only of its president, Infantino. FIFA is a dictatorship. The FIFA Council, with almost 40 members, has no say in the matter” the words in an interview with the German weekly Sports picture.
Blatter, attack on Infantino
Blatter – who led FIFA until 2015 – did not spare harsh words towards Infantino: “He rules like a Sun King (in reference to Louis XIV of France). I heard from FIFA that he doesn’t want to be greeted when he shows up at the office. He is totally isolating himself, but football will survive Infantino.”
The relationship with US President Donald Trump is also at the center of criticism: “Of course Trump will put on a show, he’s already doing it! For this, he needs his new friend, FIFA president Gianni Infantino. Even if the term accomplice is more appropriate than friend. The Peace Prize for Trump is an incomprehensible issue. Infantino is trying to curry favor with Trump because he needs it“.
