Platini: “I’m disgusted. Blatter has to go. The world does not … – La Gazzetta dello Sport

Platini-Blatter, contact. It took place this morning in Zurich, a secret meeting between the President of UEFA and the FIFA, following the scandal involving seven representatives of Football Federation world. Platini has asked Blatter to take a step back and withdraw propia candidacy for the elections scheduled for tomorrow. The FIFA president, however, has an outright refusal.

PLATINI – “I am disgusted – he begins the president of UEFA, in the press conference that followed the emergency meeting of the federations UEFA – . What happened yesterday is really too much, people do not want this president. I was very clear with Blatter: I looked into his eyes and told him he had to resign. Then, I had another face to face discussion with him, in which I insisted that he must resign. He told me that he understands, but now it’s too late. I concluded by arguing that, because of its image, it would be better to take a step back. I know what his strategy: to convince members of Congress to vote for him, counting on democracy, but, in my opinion, so we all lose. ”



CALL – “I do not regret not a candidate, why not I never wanted to fight against a friend like Sepp and I like what I do to Uefa. The budget of Sepp Blatter as others: his best years were the beginning of his term – adds Platini, before making his endorsement for Blatter’s opponent -. I appeal to all world federations: vote Prince Ali Hussein. Europe will do it. There are too many interests that have shocked the world of football, but FIFA does not deserve to be treated well, why is the mother of football. “

WORLD – What has been decided, however, not change. “There is a red line not to cross and it is that which concerns the World Cup – said Platini -. What has been decided is that, will not change the assignment already given for 2018 and 2022, while new decisions They will be taken from what concerns the 2026 “
