Sepp Blatter was former lover of Cristiano Ronaldo's ex-girlfriend?
The FIFA and Sepp Blatter scandal is more sensational than a Spanish soap opera directed by M. Night Shyamalan.
In the article titled "All the women in the life of Blatter, ex-president of FIFA" in Spanish Daily El Mundo, Blatter's amorous adventures are detailed where one name reportedly stands out above the rest: Russian supermodel, actress, and ex-girlfriend of Cristiano Ronaldo, Irina Shayk.
Crazy, right?!
Blatter, who is 79 years old, was allegedly with Shayk prior to his current relationship with Swedish Linda Barros, who he had met as a friend of one of his nieces. We could not make this up even if we tried.
Journalist Bruno Affentranger, who authored the book "Sepp, King of the Football World" went on to comment on El Mundo about Blatter's lovelife. Here's the English translation:
"His success with women has to do with the fact that he is a charming, and knows how to get close in calculating manner. He is always making jokes that only he comprehends, and I think it is a tactic of his to test his listener. But when it comes to women, he is not exactly looking for the brightest mind in the room. He is only interested in the shine."
Sepp being a womanizer is not surprising. But Sepp hooking up with one of the most desired women in the world is a bit farfetched. Do we believe this? Stranger things have happened.
On Friday, Ronaldo posted a rare video, in which he thanked his followers for their support, and tells the press to leave him alone and stop gossiping:
Sorry, Ronaldo. And if this affair is not true, sorry, Irina.
