Former UEFA president Lennart Johansson has taken a dig at his successor Michel Platini.

Despite Platini's well known bias against English football, Johansson is convinced the majority of UEFA's executive committee will support England's World Cup 2018 bid.

And Swede Johannsson says of his successor: "He's French and like all Frenchman, they only speak French and think their country is at the centre of the universe."
