Sepp Blatter hits out at Uefa

World Football

Available for over a year

Sepp Blatter says Uefa has never forgiven him for beating Lennart Johansson to the Fifa Presidency in 1998. He also claims Uefa is the only confederation that tries to undermine Fifa. He tells us that Marc Pieth’s important reforms will be passed at the congress in May and enough is enough as far as racism is concerned. We run the rule over the four candidates to become President of the Asian Football Confederation with the former Assistant General Secretary of the AFC Michelle Chai. The Anzhi Makhachkala coach Guus Hiddink says the Russian club is becoming more professional and will no longer be held to ransom in transfer negotiations. And we’re with Gibraltar’s footballers as they hope to join UEFA.
