Gianni Infantino was criticized during the World Cup in Qatar.
Now, Sweden’s captain Jan Andersson no longer wants to see Infantino as FIFA president.
– According to my values, it is not wise for him to sit down and decide, Anderson tells TV4.
It was full of controversial headlines about the World Cup in Qatar. Before the tournament, FIFA President Gianni Infantino made a speech that he often talked about and criticized.
Today I feel like a Qatari. Today I feel like an Arab. Today I feel African. Today I feel like myself. He said that today I feel powerless, among other things.
The tournament’s host country, Qatar, has been criticized for its lack of human rights and treatment of migrant workers. The one who now chooses to come out and criticize FIFA is Swedish FA captain Jan Andersson.
“It’s hell”
– It’s the hell that loo goes there. What I can find disturbing is that the world has not reacted before. We’ve known about this for years, and very few have reacted. If you had acted aggressively earlier, you might be able to change the decision, Anderson told TV4 and continues:
– Perhaps I’m being naive if I think so, but it just can’t happen like that. It can’t be like this.
Infantino should be questioned.
Anderson also takes the opportunity to lash out at FIFA President Infantino.
– You have to question someone like Infantino. Does he continue to lead with these statements and the way he behaves? Do we want it that way? The problem now is how does the world stand with 220 countries or whatever. According to my values, it is not wise for him to sit down and decide, he says.
The Swedish Football Association recently announced that it no longer intends to support Infantino. President Karl-Erik Nielsen, however, thinks that may change when the vote takes place in March.
– At the moment it is unimaginable, but it is difficult to say what the world will look like in four months, so we have to follow the development, as Nilsson told Sportbladet yesterday.
