FIFA President Gianni Infantino was seen on the pitch in a blue kit, where he took a bad corner kick that failed to hit the target.
A video surfaced showing how Infantino moved back and hit the ball with force, and the ball went so high behind the goal post to the dismay of many.
The Fifa President did this during a charity match recently. His poor handling of the ball amused Spectators and the players participating in the charity match.
An Instagram user named Powell commented that “how nobody is pointing out the fact that he is putting a captain’s band on”, which means he is the leader of the team with zero skill.
Kcity 24 said, “Infantino should stick to corruption; football’s not really his thing.”
A comment from Kayden Newton read; “The FIFA President can’t kick a ball.” Another user stated that the FIFA President should stick to fixing matches.
TonyRob7 commented, “If someone paid him $20,000, he would have smashed that into the top corner.”
While Carlanpat commented, “These guys are pure paper pushers but are dictating the game.” Zidane needs to be the next president.
