Prince Ali says that although Platini being the first runner among those who are to succeed Sepp Blatter, he can’t cleanse all the dirty corners in the world governing body of football.

I can’t deny the fact that Platini is a good player!

He is also a good president of the European Union.i also sat with him and heard his opinions about his presidency aims so at the end of the day I don’t take this personally but I don’t think he is the young courageous man that FIFA needs and also the body doesn’t need only Europeans,” Prince Ali says.

Who is Michel Platini?

Michel François Platini is a current football administrator, serving as the president of the Union of European Football Associations since 2007, and formerly a French football player and manager born on June 21, 1955.

According to CNN, the European Union President Platini is disappointed about the stance that Prince Ali used to refer to the Frenchman of all the support that he and UEFA showed him during the campaign but he doesn’t understand the attitude from the man he called his friend.

Meanwhile, the 39-year-old Prince Ali is remaining tight-lipped on his own intentions in entering the FIFA presidential race, with the vote to be held on February 26.
