Today I was told we are slowly, of course, you can’t do it right under the same situation and any decision you take may be the wrong one,” Infantino said when asked by Ghanaian journalist Gary Al-Smith during the Fifa Congress in Doha on Thursday.
“What we do is we analyse every single situation, every single case on its own merit and then based on our conscience, we try to take the decision that we feel is the right one and in this particular circumstances. Of course, there are situation of conflicts…..” he added.
