Platini and Blatter : Brothers in Arms?

Michel Platini has been known to be an eccentric fool. His comments, as President of UEFA, are absolutely amateurish and unsuitable to be said by a man of such great responsibility.

The fact that he is biased against English teams is no secret. But his open criticism of teams such as Chelsea and Man Utd is not what you would expect from a person who is supposed to be the unbiased president of UEFA.

He very often makes a mockery of his job and appears not to care the least.

Sepp Blatter, on the other hand, is (was) diplomatic as diplomatic can be. He has often conducted himself with admirable politeness. Unlike Platini, he never used to make outrageous comments and maintained an unbiased stand.

But off late, as the Ronaldo transfer saga has unfolded, both have favoured the departure of the Portuguese winger from Man Utd.

Both have certainly been biased and unprofessional.

Platini has even gone on to say that Chelsea and Man Utd were 'cheats.' Certainly, he does not like the English, but as president of UEFA, he must maintain his composure and professionalism.

Blatter, on the other hand, made a very interesting statement on 'modern slavery.'

From when did honouring contracts become slavery?

Being a professional footballer, one cannot expect one's employer to cater to your every whim and fancy.

Pele and Gordon Banks also countered his statements.

The recent statement made by the president of FIFA has annoyed me a bit.

Please Mr. Blatter, don't go the Platini way.

Being the most powerful man in World Football, Blatter must realise that comments made by him are judged by one and all.

All I am saying is that Platini and Blatter must grow up. Being some of the most influential men in the world of sport, they must first be good professionals.

Especially Platini.
