Sepp Blatter's daughter blames the media, not her father, for Sepp's downfall as the head of FIFA and believes he will not step down until the February congress as he initially announced.
"The media has ruined his reputation," Corinne Blatter told Swiss newspaper Blick.
"Why are they picking on him?
What did he do to them?
... It's not just envy.
It's hatred."
A host of major sponsors, including Coca-Cola, McDonalds and Visa called for Blatter's immediate resignation as president of FIFA, to which the 79-year-old swiftly rejected.
This all came after Blatter was called in by Swiss authorities for questioning after the opening of an investigation surrounding corporate mismanagement charges.
"I was afraid that they now take him away in handcuffs," Corinne said.
"He told me, 'I must be dreaming.'
A federal policeman assured me that he could after hearing home."
