NEV BLAST AT FIFA

-

GARY NEVILLE believes FIFA president Gianni Infantino is “the worst face” to represent the Qatar World Cup after his controvers­ial monologue on Saturday.

Infantino delivered an extraordin­ary hour-long speech in a pre-tournament press conference in Doha in which he declared “today I feel gay” and “I feel (like) a migrant worker” before taking aim at European critics of Qatar.

Neville said: “He’s a terrible face for football. Some of the things he said were inappropri­ate.

“I think FIFA is a poor representa­tion of what football is, which is a beautiful game enjoyed by communitie­s from Brazil to Bury, from Bolivia to Peru, to everywhere. I have to say that FIFA needs to clean up its act.”
