Banned FIFA president Sepp Blatter say he feels "abandoned" by world football’s governing body. Speaking to German magazine Bunte, the 79-year-old Swiss said he will now focus on clearing his name. FIFA's watchdog last week banned Blatter and UEFA boss Michel Platini for eight years for ethics violations. Both men immediately denied any wrongdoing and said they would appeal to the Swiss-based Court of Arbitration for Sport.
