Infantino started FIFA change

Before attending the International Football Association Board meeting, freshly elected Gianni Infantino already is committed what he said by changing FIFA. He has reduced the cost of the first official flight appointment. Instead of going with private planes, like his predecessor (Sepp Blatter) was doing, the Swiss took an easyJet flight from Geneva to Bristol. After the low cost airline, then he got stuck in traffic by driving 71 km to the Welsh capital, Cardiff, for the Board's historic meeting. After that he went to see Swansea - Norwich game like every other ordinary man, without (official) suit and tie.
Infantino is just implementing what he promised as he was elected. So first class air travel, grandest limousines and nights in the best hotels would all now be in the past as he fights for the organization image to be restored and back on track.
The Swiss said it was huge coincidence why he flew to Bristol first. When he was born in 1970 in Switzerland, he needed a blood transfusion at five days old to survive. One of the two anonymous donors whose blood saved his life, came from Bristol while the other one was from Belgrade. 'I would love to meet them, I survived with English blood and 46 years later I am the FIFA president, it is a personal story, but I am happy to share it' he said.
