Just as many Chinese fans had not yet fallen asleep last night, FIFA President Infantino was diagnosed with the new crown virus.

　　FIFA wrote in a statement: "FIFA President Infantino tested positive for the new crown today. He is currently suffering from mild symptoms and immediately undergoes self-isolation. The isolation period is at least 10 days."

　　FIFA stated that all people who have been in contact with Infantino in the past few days have been informed of this information and have been asked to take necessary measures.

　　Although the major leagues in Europe have reignited wars, the teams cannot obtain "immunity" from the new crown virus.

In the face of more and more players and staff confirmed the news, the season prospects also appear to be a bit "precarious."

On October 24, 2019, FIFA President Infantino announced that China will become the host country of the 2021 FIFA Club World Cup.

　　Today, even the FIFA chairman has not been spared, and the status quo is inevitably worrying.

　　Prior to this, Infantino's last appearance in the public was the opening ceremony of the Qatar World Cup opening stadium two weeks ago. He personally played a seven-a-side football match.

　　It is interesting to note that Infantino also expressed some concerns about the international football under the epidemic that day, and what he least wants to see is that the 2022 World Cup will undoubtedly be affected.

But when he turned his head, he himself could not escape...

　　Infantino, 50, was born in Switzerland. In February 2016, Infantino participated in the FIFA presidential election as UEFA Secretary General and was successfully elected.

Prior to this, he was better known to him as the interesting "bald guest" at the Champions League draw.

The 69th FIFA Conference was held in Paris on June 5, 2019 local time.

Infantino was re-elected as the chairman of FIFA.

　　Compared with his predecessor Blatter, Infantino is more determined to change the world of football.

Although reform is inevitably accompanied by controversy and opposition, some decisions have indeed affected the development of international football.

　　After becoming the chairman of FIFA, Infantino has successfully expanded the World Cup from the existing 32 teams to 48 teams, starting with the North American Trilateral Organization in 2026.

In addition, Infantino also vigorously developed women's football and successfully implemented the use of VAR technology in football.

　　Infantino, who dared to reform, has many supporters and opponents abroad.

When he was infected with the new crown, foreign netizens also expressed their opinions on his condition.

　　Some netizens use Ronaldo's example to encourage the FIFA president.

"Our best player in the world, Ronaldo, has also been infected, but he is very good now. So, Mr. Infantino, come on."

　　Some people think that when humanity has not completely defeated the epidemic, it is an extremely unwise thing to launch a football game.

After the rematch, football seemed to have been "passed" by the new crown virus, but the good times did not last long. With the continuous increase in the number of "sickness", the "enemy" came back again, and this time, it was even more aggressive.

　　Except for some people wishing him a speedy recovery, there are also many "unfriendly" voices.

　　Someone used the World Cup expansion to "sneer" him-"After being diagnosed, Mr. Infantino, please continue to work hard to fight for all the viruses in the world to host a larger virus World Cup."

　　Some netizens used "puns"-"Infantino tested positive for bribery."

　　Someone even reminded him that since he is still unable to get rid of the suspicion of accepting bribes in the World Cup in Qatar, Infantino may try to bribe the new crown virus to see if the latter will spare him.

　　In June last year, Infantino was the only candidate to be re-elected as FIFA President, and the new term will end in 2023.

However, in July this year, Swiss prosecutors filed a criminal lawsuit for Fantino's "suspected illegal meeting" with Swiss Attorney General Lauber. The outside world once described this as Infantino's "biggest challenge since taking office."

　　However, compared with the bribery storm, the new crown is the real challenge for Infantino.

　　Faced with the ever-increasing number of confirmed cases, can major leagues continue to be held?

The UEFA Europa League game has increased the number of players flying to different countries, and it has also been proven that the health of some players has been threatened.

But when it comes to qualifying for the European Cup, where will it go in the future?

　　2020 is about to pass. Is the world football really ready for next year’s European Cup, Club World Cup and other major events?

　　At least from the current situation, this requires a big question mark.

　　At present, after the diagnosis of the new crown virus, Infantino has not made a public announcement, and it is difficult to find clues on his social media when and where he contracted the new crown.

In any case, the current world football needs a healthy chairman of the Football Association to lead them forward.

　　It is hoped that this ambitious FIFA president after taking office can quickly defeat the new crown and bring a sense of "security" to the world football that is currently suffering from the virus.
