The former FIFA boss Sepp Blatter sees the current developments in football critically. He also thinks differently about corruption.
Former FIFA President Sepp Blatter criticized the development of the World Association under the current leadership around Gianni Infantino.
“It is an overload of football today,” said the 89-year-old in the podcast Calcio d’Oro : “The calendar is overloaded, the players are overloaded, the sponsors are overloaded and the fans are overloaded. Everyone is overloaded and it costs a lot more money.” The tickets were just as more expensive as consumption on television.
He now sees “a limit that is said that it should stop,” said Blatter: “I don’t appreciate the way in which it is done today.
Corruption? FIFA according to Blatter “reflection of society”
When it comes to corruption, he sees the FIFA World Association “as a reflection of society”, said the Swiss.
There is “corruption all over the world. That comes from jealousy, envy and hatred”, he stated in the podcast: “The whole society in the world is corrupt, not FIFA. And I have to find out, although I have not believed in a long time that FIFA is in there too.”
