Platini confronts Blatter with resign demand
Michel Platini says he confronted Sepp Blatter
Zurich - Arab Today
UEFA president Michel Platini said he confronted FIFA leader Sepp Blatter during an emergency meeting of football chiefs on Thursday and called on him to stand down because of the scandals engulfing world football.
Blatter refused and Platini made a public appeal at a press conference for member nations from around the world to vote against Blatter for the FIFA presidency in a vote on Friday.
"I asked him to resign: enough is enough, Sepp. He listened to me but he told me it is too late," Platini told a press conference.
"I say these things with tears in my eyes. I don't like it this way. But there are just too many scandals," he added.
