During an interview with German daily Bild, the Frenchman answered questions on various controversial topics – From Qatar to Blatter.
On why he withdrew from challenging Sepp Blatter:
On Phillip Lahm’s retirement
On Ribery’s decision
On voting for Qatar 2022 and Russia 2018
On technology in Football
“I think Blatter should not be standing for re-election. Fifa has a terrible reputation, which is even encouraged by Blatter. The football is suffering. Maybe Wolfgang Niersbach still wants to compete against Blatter in the election, but I don’t believe that.
“I know my friend Sepp Blatter, so it would not surprise me if he stood as a candidate again in 2019 for the Fifa presidency. With Sepp, anything is possible.
