FIFA President Blatter is angry for top clubs complaints

Font size: Decrease font Enlarge font
English Manchester United manager Sir Alex Ferguson accused FIFA of creating a “gun-to-the head” situation for players by forcing them to play for their national teams in Athens Olympic Games next month. Such opinion was also heard from other leaders of top European clubs. FIFA president Sepp Blatter has accused clubs that complained. “The clubs are willing to expose their players to exhibition tournaments in USA and Asia for the sake of generating income and gaining a position as a marketable international brand. One wonders therefore, why what is good for the goose, is not good for the gander.”
