During his college years, young infantino solved all the tuition and fees for studying law at the University of Freiburg through work-study programs. At that time, infantino's wish was simple: because he liked football since childhood and was a real football fan, he only wanted to engage in football-related careers after graduation. Perhaps it was out of his love for football that infantino participated in the Swiss Fourth League during his college years. He plays the right forward of the school team. He scored two goals alone in a game representing the school. One goal was an attack along the roadside, and the other goal was a sneak attack near the top of the restricted area. This is his highest achievement as a player on the court.
After graduating from college, infantino became a lawyer and served as the Secretary General of the International Sports Research Center of Neuchatel University. He usually teaches law courses to sports officials. At that time, most of his students came from the African National Football Association or the African Football Association, but now most of his students have entered the management of the African National Football Association, which also laid the groundwork for him to "grab the ticket" from his opponent Salman and his allies, the non-Football Association President and the FIFA Acting President after Blatter's suspension.
In 2000, he successfully entered UEFA to take charge of legal and commercial affairs-that was his dream job, and finally he engaged in football-related work. Four years later, infantino was appointed as the head of UEFA's legal affairs and club affairs, but from the outside world, it was a thankless position. In infantino's view, anything is possible as long as he works hard-it was during this period that he established close ties with the governments of the European Union, the Council of Europe and other countries, and developed his own political ability and eloquence, which became a rare and precious wealth of experience in his career.
In 2009, infantino became the Secretary General of UEFA. However, the focus of his work has changed to enforce the laws of fair financial competition, which will inevitably lead him to offend some big clubs and implement Platini's European Cup expansion plan, which will inevitably lead to the dissatisfaction of some traditional football giants. Not long ago, a country that might have a bad impression on infantino was Greece. 20 15 because the Greek government interfered in the work of the Football Association, infantino intervened with the Greek government and issued a ban warning. But it turns out that infantino succeeded again. Not only did he not make further enemies, but he also developed the super power of "turning enemies into friends". In recent years, he has won the unprecedented trust of many European giants because of his vigorous implementation of fiscal fairness policy. Because of this, after he decided to run for the election, even Mourinho, the most expensive and awesome professional coach in the world, stepped forward and led many world-class superstars such as Figo and Capello, legendary Brazilian star roberto carlos and former Spanish captain Yero to hold a large-scale high-profile party to publicly support infantino's election as the new FIFA president.
Infantino, 38, has already become the deputy of UEFA President Platini. "Bald Draw Brother" has become familiar with all the big names in football through various ceremonies. You have never heard of infantino's public opposition to Platini. At the end of 20 15, 10, two days before the deadline for the registration of the new FIFA president, infantino was proposed by UEFA through an emergency conference call.
He worked in the Spanish Football Association in Madrid for a year, learned Spanish and married a Lebanese wife. His wife with long hair shawls and black-rimmed glasses is also proficient in many languages. She taught him to master Arabic fluently. Infantino can not only deal with all kinds of media easily, but also in FIFA, which has 209 member countries, its excellent language talent can minimize communication barriers. He is enthusiastic, good at listening, proactive and good at weaving interpersonal networks.
