Fresh from re-election to the presidency of FIFA, Joseph Blatter is the time to send the first signal to those who have decided not to get on his side. And the target bigger and he is noisy, that Michel Platini – number 1 of UEFA – that the day before the elections asked him first privately and then publicly resigned, announcing support for the candidacy of Jordan Ali Bin Al-Hussein . Blatter this morning in an interview with Swiss RTS, has initially targeted the governing body of European football, “There is a hatred that is not only as a person but as an organization, the Uefa, who did not understand that in 1998 I became president. ” Then launch its trip to the French: “Platini? Pardon all over the world, but I do not forget.”
speech, clutches with gill and accusations – Sepp Blatter around 12 then attended the closing conference of the FIFA Congress that voted the fifth term to the president. “I am delighted to have been re-elected for another four years – begins Blatter -. In spite of the problems that have emerged in recent days, the vast majority of countries has confirmed to me his confidence and now it’s up to me to solve the trouble. I will address this storm, touching we have a responsibility to bring to calm the waters. The President and his entire entourage. FIFA has come back strong, happy and credible “. But David Gill, the Englishman who would be giving up the vice-presidency to protest against the re-election of Blatter, does not believe that anything is possible with the Swiss leader in command. Blatter shrugs: “I do not know why Gill today there is not, so instead he was appointed vice-president. If you do know more …”. The laconic comment on the allegations Jack Warner, former vice-president of Fifa arrested Wednesday for corruption: “I can not get into the specifics of these charges, not about me. Let the investigation go forward … the money to Warner would have given me ? I do not respond to this kind of questions. Who does the investigation have the right to do it, on me. But I have no worries: I have never been afraid of being arrested. Arrested for what? “. But a president can not be involved in its organization if there is something rotten? “I can only speak of myself. The committee members are not elected by me or body that elected me. There are personal responsibilities that do not affect me …”. Clutches with Uefa and possible repercussions, as boycotting the World Cup? “But no, Uefa is part of FIFA. We need each other. And we both care about the image of the World Cup.” Speaking of image, that FIFA has certainly been damaged by the arrests followed the investigation of the FBI. The case of Visa could not remain isolated. “We need to regain credibility with our partners, I know. But I’m sure that will settle with each of our sponsors.”
the reaction of platinum – “I represent the European Confederation. We will meet in the final of Champions on June 6 in Berlin, we will discuss and we will see what to do. ” Those bellicose words of Michel Platini, the Uefa number one. The apocalyptic scenario would provide the sensational escape of greater European body by FIFA. Blatter hypothesis that does not take into account either. Platini in the days before the election that marked the fifth term of Blatter had sided openly with the challenger, Prince Ali. “As UEFA have supported Prince Ali who started from scratch and came to 73 votes, was a good result “, commented Platini.
