That would announces sensational news in Zurich on Tuesday evening, which had already announced in the hours and minutes before the speech from Sepp Blatter at the headquarters of FIFA. Shortly after half past five in the afternoon invited the media department of the Football World Association for a press conference a – non-scheduled, an issue was not mentioned
Unlike still on. Sunday, when Blatter had tried journalists hundreds to explain why he is the best president, only a handful were found this time reporter in a auditorium. They saw on stage three plastic signs with names:. Sepp Blatter, Domenico Scala and Walter De Gregorio
Shortly after the journalists were let in, rushed Fifa Leaders cause and took the nameplates of Blatter and Scala, the head of the Audit and Compliance Commission again; Only the sign of De Gregorio, the media director, remained in its place. Shortly afterwards it was announced that the press conference will be postponed. Only at 18.30 clock, then at 18.45 clock.
As De Gregorio said finally, Blatter will make a speech and questions were not allowed, took the most sensational resignation in the history of organized football its course. Blatter marched briskly into the hall, and after his first words was clear that he would now but draw conclusions from what has happened in the past six day.
It is past, his rule stated on the world football
The 79-year-old, he had become aware that he had no “mandate of the entire football world – the fans, the players , the clubs, the people who live and breathe the football just love how we all at the FIFA do it “. Then he stated that he would resign from office at an extraordinary presidential election. . That they will be in a few months passed, his dominion over the world football
He loves football, Blatter said, and that should also mean I under take this step for the love of football
The big question is:. What is really behind the resignation? What led to the change of
Even after the wave of arrests last Wednesday – since making Swiss and US authorities hunt for corrupt football officials – Blatter had any consequences of the affair rejected. Ahead of the presidential election on Friday he campaigned for himself and promised to deal with the crisis
After his triumph he took his adversary targeted:. “I forgive, but I do not forget, “said Blatter. There were words of the will, the strength. Self-doubt? Guilty Conscience? None.
There are people who want to finish him
the decision to retire, so it told people from his closest environment of the “world,” Blatter said to have taken only a day later. On Monday the Swiss met in Zurich along with various officials to talk about the current crisis. In these conversations it became clear to him that he can not go on as before.
A source said it was Blatter’s goal, the reforms in the Fifa advance, but he felt powerless. As outgoing president, he now had to “take no more consideration” and could implement his plans easier. Blatter wants to leave a positive legacy of the Fifa – what he could achieve with a simple resignation. The Fifa boss
Fear Blatter It should also be realized that there are people who want to “finish” him. So after all the investigations of the FBI and the Swiss Federal Prosecutor’s Office? On Sunday, he had said, when will determined by international law correctly, he was not worried. Blatter know that some criminals may be cooperatively by the indictment of the US Department of Justice against 14 officials and could unpack over hitherto respondent Official.
And he is likely to also guessed that he “baddest fish” is for prosecutors and agents. That its activities have been fully screened at the FIFA, for whom he worked for 40 years or more are.
Has Blatter done something Unlawful?
However: a concrete suspicion of corruption against Blatter does not exist. And even those who now provide the information to the authorities, who can not deliver him to the knife; it would be easy for the US investigators have been to have you arrested and Blatter in Zurich.
For example, there is ex-Fifa Executive Chuck Blazer , the FBI grabbed for tax evasion. Then the authorities found out that the man was still to corrupt and illegal million cashed. Blazer unpacked and served even as a spy for the FBI when he invited the London 2012 Olympic Games as part of the old familiar to him and secretly recording the conversation.
The findings brought Blatter nor in distress as his nemesis Jack Warner, who was once his campaigner. For four years, the official from Trinidad and Tobago announced evidence of crimes committed by Blatter to – without giving it
a report by ABC News, after which the. FBI against Blatter Time determined, the Americans reported back already. And so one can only speculate about whether Blatter buckled in fear of prosecutors. Whether he still threatening trouble.
The others are no better
men like Michel Platini in any case be now because Blatter has nothing left to lose, tremble. The President of the European Football Association, UEFA had attacked his former friend before the presidential election at every opportunity and asked him about the media and in person to withdraw.
Blatter decided to take this step only after his election victory. . From a position of encouragement by almost two-thirds of the 209 football associations of the planet out
Platini could now advertise themselves as the new FIFA President. And Blatter, a shrewd tactician, could ensure that the world is it always reminded for whom Platini in awarding the 2022 World Cup was true (Qatar) and who after a job at a branch of the Qatari sovereign wealth funds received (his son). Or is there even more compromising material and knowledge that Blatter has accumulated in all these years about Platini?
Silent is Blatter after all the noise in recent years, at least not disappear from the stage. Too big is his interest that the world at the end concludes: The rest of the gang, the opponents of Sepp Blatter, they are no better than he himself
