ZURICH (The Thursday Times) — Reports ke mutabiq Arsene Wenger ne Itwaar ko faisla kiya hai ke woh Fifa ke sadarti intikhab mein Gianni Infantino ke muqable mein khade nahin honge, yun woh sab se numayan shakhsiyat daud se bahar ho gayi jis se Uefa ko Infantino ko challenge karne ki umeed thi.
Arsenal ke sabiq manager, 77 saala Wenger, Fifa ke chief of global football development hain aur election larne par ghaur kar rahe thay. Uefa ne unhein intikhab larne ki targhib di thi aur samjha jata hai ke unhon ne idare ko bata diya hai ke woh Infantino ke muqabil nahin aayenge. Fifa se radd-e-amal ke liye rabta kiya gaya hai.
Yeh kyun ahem hai
56 saala Infantino aainda March mein Fifa Congress mein chauthi muddat ke khwahan hain. Un ki position us mansoobe par hone wale radd-e-amal se mutazalzil hui jis ke tehat woh Fifa Forward Enterprise naami company banana chahte thay jo Fifa ke muqablon ke tijarati mufadaat sambhalti aur jis mein nijji sarmaya kaar aqliyati hissa rakhte. Uefa, Asian confederation, aur Concacaf ki janib se mustarad kiye jane ke baad unhon ne mansooba awam ke saamne aane ke chand din baad tark kar diya (pichhe: Fifa ka khufiya World Cup farokht mansooba).
Wenger, jinhein rawayati taur par Infantino ka wafadar samjha jata hai, ne mansooba saamne aane par us se faasla ikhtiyar kiya. Us waqt unhon ne kaha, “Main is hikmat-e-amli ke mansoobe mein shamil nahin tha aur mujhe is ka ilm media reports se hua,” aur mazeed kaha ke ise wapas lena “qatai zaroori” tha.
Is ke baad Infantino ne apni hamayat mazboot kar li hai. African confederation ne “muttafiqa” hamayat ka elan kiya hai, Asian confederation ne mauqif badal kar ab un ki umeedwari ki hamayat ka faisla kiya hai, aur unhon ne kaha hai ke aalami football ki “bhaari aksariyat” un ke saath hai. Un ke mukhalif dharray ki aik baasar shakhsiyat ne Wenger ke faisle ko “waqai afsosnaak” qarar diya.
Budh ki deadline
Umeedwaron ko Budh, 18 November tak elan karna hoga. Tottenham ke sabiq defender Ramon Vega October mein apna naam saamne laane wale pehle shakhs thay. Japan Football Association ke azazi sadar Kozo Tashima ne bhi umeedwar banne ka irada zahir kiya hai, lekin reports ke mutabiq unhein rukn associations ki matlooba paanch taeedein abhi hasil nahin hui. Kaha ja raha hai ke Uefa ko ab bhi deadline se pehle koi aur umeedwar milne ki umeed hai.
