FIFA press conference just aren’t what they used to be. Not so long ago, you had Sepp Blatter keeping things lively with a wildly inappropriate comment or by falling off of a stage. Good times.
However, with Sepp busy barricading the doors to an underground bunker somewhere in Zurich as the FBI circle, Issa Hayatou has stepped in as acting president but has fallen some way short of the lively antics we’d expect from FIFA’s top suit and has gone instead in a more subdued direction.
During his own press conference this morning, when FIFA was announcing reforms following the scandals that have swallowed up footballs governing body, it all proved to be a bit too much for Hayatou as he decided to take 20 winks.
Perhaps he was tired after being woken up by the early morning raids at the Baur au Lac Hotel during which more high level FIFA officials were arrested.
It’s tiring work Hayatou.
