France Football révèle que Platini aurait été influencé pour soutenir le Qatar
a : Coupe du monde 2022 : « Avant, Michel était pro-États-Unis », l’ex-n°2 de la Fifa évoque un « revirement » de Platini en faveur du Qatar
In an interview with Le Monde, former FIFA number two Jerome Champagne has claimed that there was a significant change in attitude from Michel Platini towards the United States during the bidding process for the 2022 World Cup.
Champagne alleges that Platini, who was previously supportive of the US bid, carried out a « reversal » and instead backed the Qatar bid in the lead up to the vote. This is despite public statements from Platini that he had not changed his mind on the matter.
The claims from Champagne will add to the already intense scrutiny on Platini and FIFA in relation to the awarding of the World Cup to Qatar.

Ahead of the 2022 World Cup, former FIFA vice president Michel Platini has revealed that he had a change of heart in favor of Qatar hosting the tournament.

In an interview with France Football, former FIFA second-in-command Jerome Valcke discusses how Michel Platini’s views on the 2022 World Cup have changed over time. Valcke says that Platini used to be pro-USA when it came to hosting the tournament, but he has since had a « reversal » and is now in favor of Qatar. Valcke attributes this change of heart to Platini’s close relationship with the Emir of Qatar.
Michel Platini a été élu président de la FIFA en mai 2015, après avoir été le deuxième favori derrière Sepp Blatter. En 2011, il avait voté pour que le Qatar soit l’hôte de la Coupe du Monde de football 2022. Aujourd’hui, il affirme qu’il a changé d’avis et qu’il soutient les États-Unis pour l’obtenir. Cela semble être un revirement complet par rapport à sa position antérieure.
