MOSCOW - FIFA president Sepp Blatter planned for Russia and the United States to host the 2018 and 2022 World Cups and blamed UEFA president Michel Platini for Qatar's bid victory over the Americans, a spokesman for Blatter said on Wednesday.
But Blatter's wish for the two tournaments to go to "the two biggest political powers" was not a pre-arranged decision air max plus uomo scontate , Klaus Stoehlker told Reuters.
"It was not an agreement, this was his proposal and of course it (then) went to the vote at the (FIFA) executive committee," he said.
In an interview with Russian news agency TASS in which he took aim at Platini for playing a part in what he called attacks on him, Blatter portrayed the double World Cup vote, held in 2010 air max plus nere scontate , as the catalyst for crisis at global soccer's governing body.
It triggered the worst scandal in FIFA's history, with 14 soccer officials and sports marketing executives indicted by the US Department of Justice in May for bribery, money laundering and wire fraud in an ongoing multi-million-dollar investigation.
Blatter and Platini are both serving 90-day suspensions imposed by FIFA's Ethics Committee which is looking into a 2 million Swiss franc ($2.03 million) payment Blatter made to Platini in 2011 - a case that is also part of a separate Swiss criminal investigation.
"We had a discussion of the World Cup and then we went to a double decision," Blatter told TASS.
"For the World Cups it was agreed that we go to Russia (for 2018)... and for 2022 we go back to America. And so we will have the World Cup in the two biggest political powers."
Blatter said a lunch between Platini, senior Qatari officials and then French president Nicolas Sarkozy led to a change of heart by the UEFA president.
"There was an election by secret ballot. Four votes from Europe went away from the USA... If the USA was given the World Cup air max plus bianche scontate , we would only speak about the wonderful World Cup 2018 in Russia and ...not about any problems," he told the Russian news agency.
Stoehlker said he spoke to Blatter following the interview and the Swiss stressed there had been no agreement before the vote of the FIFA executive committee, but rather that it was his personal wish was for Russia and the United States to be hosts.
"Then he was tricked by Platini who, under pressure from Sarkozy, switched his support to Qatar air max plus scontate ," said Stoehlker.
Platini has said he had a lunch with Sarkozy and Qatari officials but denied he was told by his country's president to vote for the Gulf state.
Power game
In the interview, Blatter said he was a "ball in a big political power game", adding Russia would never lose the 2018 tournament despite calls from some in Britain.
Blatter, who has been president of FIFA since 1998, said politics was behind attacks on him that followed the indictment of 14 soccer officials and sports marketing executives by US prosecutors.
"At the beginning it was only a personal attack. It was Platini against me. He started it scarpe air max tn scontate , but then it became politics," he said.
"And when it is in politics, it is not any longer Platini against me. It is then those who have lost the World Cup."
Denouncing England as "bad losers" after missing out in the 2018 vote, Blatter said Russia's preparations for the tournament were going well, praising Russian President Vladimir Putin.
Blatter, who said he regretted not standing down as he initially planned in 2014, argued there was "envy and jealousy" of FIFA's commercial success but rejected the suggestion that the current crisis at FIFA was a de facto American takeover.
Blatter said FIFA's Ethics Committee, whose decision over his suspension he is appealing air max tn squalo scontate , had bowed to media pressure to remove him. "Unfortunately, Platini was in the same boat," he said.
After 17 years in football's top job, Blatter said he hoped he would be cleared in time to lead FIFA's congress on Feb 26, which will elect a new leader. "This is my dream air max tn nere scontate ," he said.
