In the past two months, the most important organization of football in the world, FIFA, has been in the middle of a huge scandal. In the end, all the world has seen how  some FIFA's directors were chased by the U.S. justice, and the most important figure of the organization, Joseph Blatter, has quit his position of president of FIFA.

In an article of "The Guardian", Chung Mong-joon, a candidate for the presidence of FIFA, criticized the attitude of Blatter in the middle of the crisis inside the FIFA, because in his opinion, the former president of FIFA "tries to blame everybody except himself". At the same time, the former vicepresident of FIFA believes that Michelle Platini, another candidate for the presidence of FIFA, is not the right person to bring some changes in the organization, because he took some help from Blatter. In the words of the South Korean Chung, Platini is "very much a product of the current system". The article also show how the Asian Football Confederation wants to stay unify behind only one candidate, whit the idea of  make a change in the structure of the FIFA.

In my opinon, is interesting see how a lot of people want to be the next FIFA's president, seeing in that position an oportunity to make big changes in the organization. We all see how the football has change in the time, but at the same time, many people see that change as something wrong and sad. In the modern football, all that matters at the end is how much money a team could make, and the most important thing, the game and passion we see in every football game, take a secondary rol.

Former Fifa vice president Chung Mong-joon will make his formal announcement about his candidacy next month.
