00:00Tell me what you think he will be trying to do to survive,
00:02because he's clearly not going to walk, is he?
00:04Yeah, things are changing every day.
00:07Every day there are different discussions.
00:08I didn't speak with him, he didn't contact me since this happened.
00:13But there are two options.
00:15One option is that he realizes that he doesn't have the support.
00:20And that's not only the political support of the ones who vote,
00:24but the political support of the football community,
00:26the political support of fans, the political support of the players,
00:31former players, coaches.
00:33And the second option is that he goes to the elections in March.
00:38But in that case, I think he will have a candidate against him.
00:43I don't know yet who.
00:46No, you?
00:46No, no, I'm not interested because of two reasons.
00:50One reason is that I love UEFA and I love working here.
00:54And I think that at a certain point you have also,
00:58I mean, it's time also to enjoy life a bit.
01:01And let's see till when.
01:02And the second point is my credibility is much, much, much higher
01:06if I'm not interested in the position.
01:09When you compared in the beginning this plan with the Super League plan,
01:13I think this plan is even worse than the Super League plan.
01:15In the first case, clubs wanted to,
01:19super important clubs wanted to do their own league,
01:23which is wrong, it would destroy football.
01:26But in this case, football would be literally sold.
01:29I'm absolutely sure that the plan is dead,
01:32but things get too far.
01:35Now, in football politics, it's sometimes even more complicated,
01:41or if you want dirty than the normal politics.
01:45So you never know what will happen in the future.
01:48But for me, the most important thing is that we stopped another try
01:52to sell the sport.
01:53I mean, it's hard to imagine what kind of people
02:00would sell the sport that belongs to everyone.
02:04If you would see that 40 out of 55 took the floor.
02:0840 spoke.
02:0940 spoke.
02:10It was two hours.
02:11They were so mad.
02:13And one of the smaller federations,
02:16because on one side it was England, Germany,
02:19who you understand that they don't want that
02:21because also this money is not so big for them.
02:23But on the other side was San Marino, Cyprus, Liechtenstein,
02:27who all supported it.
02:29They said, we're not for sale.
02:30And one of the federation presidents said a good thing.
02:34He said, this is like he would try to buy my house with my money
02:38because it's the money of federations.
02:40It's not money of FIFA president or FIFA council.
02:43It's the money of football.
02:46And 75% of this money is from Europe.
02:5175%.
02:52So what some people obviously don't understand
02:55is that it's not a private company.
02:58Elections are elections.
02:59And the vote is of 211 federations.
03:04Now, what I hear is that they play on, you know,
03:10arrogant Europe is against us.
03:12They have enough money, but I help the small and the poor
03:15and stuff like that.
03:17But I think someone should remind him that he's a European
03:20and that he was supported by UEFA, which he forgot.
03:25The other, the vice presidents, the idea of a FIFA peace prize
03:28and giving it to Donald Trump.
03:30No, no.
03:31I got the information about this, if I'm diplomatic,
03:34quite a strange prize in the media.
03:36We didn't know anything.
03:39We didn't know anything about that.
03:41We didn't know anything about this program to sell football.
03:44Nothing.
03:45Nothing.
03:45I think you went to Mexico.
03:47You went to Canada.
03:48You didn't go to the US.
03:50No.
03:50Deliberate?
03:51I felt a bit uncomfortable.
03:54I felt a bit uncomfortable because of the things that were
03:57happening with the referee, also with the Iranian national team.
04:02The Somali referee?
04:03Yes.
04:04The one that you then got to do the Super Cup?
04:05The Somali referee and the Iranian national team
04:07and some other teams as well.
04:08So.
04:09So.
04:10So.
