Gary Lineker wrote after the election, he was afraid that Gianni Infantino tear the mask from the head and Sepp Blatter come to light. And that Infantinos hometown in Valais no ten-minute bus ride away from the Blatter, many see only half in jest as a beacon. But Infantino is no second Blatter, who kept a corrupt system created and decades running.
With Infantino but also suggests not the zero hour, which evokes the Fifa, and that would be needed to save their reputation and perhaps their existence. With the election defeat Salman Al-Khalifa’s it has though, so spared ugly debates on human rights and torture the greater evil. But with Infantino at the top should the wheeling and haggling, the Geklüngel and sediment in world football will find no end. With Infantino Fifa remains an organization that deserves utmost skepticism.
Infantino benefits from the reputation of the Uefa as alleged counter-proposal to Fifa. But she is not. Although they organized the best and most prestigious football competition in the world, the Champions League. But under President Michel Platini and his general secretary Infantino Uefa has become a second Fifa.
In their bodies sitting same dubious fellows as in Fifa, as the Spaniard Villar or Cypriot Lefkaritis. also Wolfgang Niersbach, the prosecutors have to hacking. For the elucidation of possible corruption in the EM-award 2012 or betting manipulations in Turkish football Platini and Infantino both not give a damn interesting, although witnesses had offered and evidence could not be overlooked. In the Fifa Uefa prevented reforms, such as term limits and integrity checks.
In his post as Secretary General Infantino, to say the left, a custom impression. No public word of criticism to anything or anyone. The locked Platini called the Uefa contrary to the statutes of Fifa still its president. Infantino is still moved away not centimeter from his boss. It is not even ruled out that he wants to keep it warm for him, for he has stepped in, only the chair.
Also Infantinos campaign makes no hope. He wants to increase the World Cup to forty participants, although even his supporters criticize. His most telling sentence he spoke at the congress to the delegates, the Handaufhaltern: “The money of Fifa’s your money and not the money of the FIFA president.” Money – that sounds familiar. Fittingly, Blatter Infantinos election with tears saying that have the quality to continue its work.
This can be understood as deliberately poisoned congratulations. And maybe Infantino will place as chief new qualities to light. This chance must be him, give the embarrassment solution. With the decision to structural reform, which has good approaches that Fifa sends silent signals of good will anyway. This could also appreciate the American justice.
But it has also been seen that the corrupt Issa Hayatou received long applause. And what are integrity checks worth if people like Salman are they? Fifa has merely averted worse, this is the moment of greatest crisis very little.
