He added that he criticizes the Swiss official’s relations with the African continent. “He comes to sit on the throne, he is the one who tells the head of state. He is the one who distributes all the medals.”
The veteran coach believes that this behavior is due to selection considerations, saying: “He is only playing on the greed of many presidents of African federations because he knows that there are 54 votes in his next election. Therefore, he plays on this string. He does not play for development.”
Where is Wenger?
Le Roy also questioned the stance of France’s Arsene Wenger, FIFA’s director of global football development, following the controversial decision to overturn Balogun’s suspension and said:
The 78-year-old coach continued his scathing attack on the FIFA president, saying: “I am surprised that this man is still at the helm of FIFA. I do not understand how it is acceptable that he is almost the only candidate for the upcoming elections. He has one quality, which is that he is multilingual. But he’s a multilingual idiot who doesn’t play this sport. in everyone’s eyes.”
He concluded. “Today, when you hear people talking about football on the street or among friends, they say: “These are conspiracies, sell cards as you like.” All he has to do is call and the Disciplinary Committee will disappear. “I am amazed at the image that high-level professional football in the world reflects today.”
