Sepp Blatter, former president of the International Football Federation (FIFA), in an interview Watson He admitted that he does not like the modern development of football.
In his opinion, professional sports have become too commercialized.
“I truly created a monster. When I joined FIFA in 1975 as director of development programmes, it was poor. Sponsors such as Adidas did not make any payments, only donated balls and jerseys. When Infantino became president in 2016, he found himself turning on the money machine. Now he’s doing it faster and faster. “We are witnessing the extinction of football,” Blatter said.
At the end of 2022, the Swiss court in Bellinzona acquitted Joseph Blatter and Michel Platini of fraud. In 2015, a lawsuit was filed against Blatter on suspicion of illegally transferring 2 million Swiss francs to Michel Platini, who then headed UEFA.
