The campaign for the position of the UEFA president went through two rough days, and the gloves came off. According to Angel Maria Villar from Spain, the only question now is whether the Čeferin march towards the very top of the European football union can be stopped by the reproaches coming from the North of Europe, claiming that he had been chosen by Gianni Infantino, the FIFA President, and Russia.
"The representatives of the Scandinavian unions were the first, besides Italy, to suggest I should run for the President of the European Football Association," Aleksander Čeferin explained to MMC.
