Club World Cup: FIFPro 'Infantino thinks he's God, bread and circuses'

The Club World Cup ended in America continues to be a talking point with Chelsea's victory. From FifPro, the international footballers' union, comes a harsh attack on FIFA president Gianni Infantino, accused to "organize tournaments without dialogue, in an authoritarian and only for profit." "Infantino behaves like a man who thinks he is God - they are the words of the president of FifPro, the Argentine Sergio Marchi reported in a press release from the organization -. This competition hides a dangerous disconnection from everyday reality of footballers from all over the world. The game was played in temperatures unacceptable, putting the health of the players at risk. It is a serious fact that cannot be repeated at the next World Cup year". According to FifPro, the Club World Cup has turned into "a grandiose staging worthy of panem et circenses of ancient Rome. FIFA continues to increase its profits, but on the skin of those who play". "There is no show possible if the voices of the protagonists are dying out. It's time for the footballers are truly put at the centre of the game", concludes Marchi.
