Raiola blasts UEFA, FIFA

31 October 2012



Zlatan Ibrahimovic's agent Mino Raiola has lashed out at UEFA and FIFA, while also labelling Michel Platini a 'Mafia boss'.
Raiola believes his client Ibrahimovic should have won the Ballon d'Or several years ago, and believes another snub in the 2012 edition of the award is proof of corruption in the governing bodies.

"FIFA and UEFA are exactly the same sh*t," Raiola told Expressen.

"If he does not win (the Ballon d'Or), it will reinforce the idea the award is politically corrupt.

"If you want to take the award seriously, it should be the best player to win. And the best player, (it has been) Zlatan for several years.

"These organisations are not transparent. They can be compared to Mafia organisations somewhere. If the Swedish government behaved in this way, the country would revolt.

"Michel Platini is not friends with Mino Raiola, the French president of UEFA is a Mafia boss. Platini has never done anything important for football. If he had enough courage, he would change UEFA."

Ibrahimovic swapped AC Milan for Paris Saint-Germain in the close season.

Agent: Ibrahimovic on par with Ronaldo

2 November 2012

Zlatan Ibrahimovic's agent believes the Swede could play in the same team as Cristiano Ronaldo without any problems.
The Real Madrid star was recently linked with a move to PSG in Ligue 1, and even though the club's president Nasser Al-Khelaifi has stressed there has not been any contact yet, agent Mino Raiola suggests that Ibrahimovic and Ronaldo could form a lethal partnership.

"I am confident that Zlatan and Cristiano could achieve great things together at Paris," Raiola was quoted as saying by Le Parisien.

"Great players never have any problems to play together. At Barcelona, Zlatan never had any problems to feature alongside (Lionel) Messi for example. (Pep) Guardiola was the problem at Barca.

"Cristiano Ronaldo to PSG is just a hypothesis for now, but thinking about it is already extraordinary. I believe that it's a realistic possibility. A year ago, it would have been crazy, but not now."

The flamboyant agent then went on to stress that Ibrahimovic is thoroughly enjoying life at PSG.

"He is feeling very well in Paris and at PSG. I have never seen him this happy before. Ligue 1 is a quality league, and those who say it's too easy for Zlatan are wrong," he said.

The towering attacker has netted 12 goals in 12 appearances for Carlo Ancelotti's men so far.
