While the French Football Federation went through a major crisis at the start of the year, with the forced departure of Noël Le Graët from his position as president or that of Corinne Deacon at the head of the French women’s team in particular, the calm seems to have finally returned to the premises of the FFF. For his part, Michel Platini wanted to settle accounts with the governing body of French football. Indeed, during an interview with our colleagues from the Journal du Dimanche, the legendary number 10 of the Blues did not keep his tongue in his pocket to discuss his more than tense relations with the FFF. The former UEFA president has also announced that he will not be present for the match against Ireland, which will take place on September 7 at the Parc des Princes.
“I was vice-president of the Federation twenty years ago. I was president of UEFA. I will not take the presidency of the federation. I am invited by the FFF for the France-Ireland at the Parc des Princes on September 7. They are celebrating Euro 84 which we won at the Parc des Princes. I will not go. Because I don’t want to be part of this French Federation, still managed by Le Graët’s old team, which is still in charge. As long as this team is there, I will be angry with the FFF, insists the former midfielder. After, you know, I have a criminal trial against Infantino, the president of Fifa, and at the industrial tribunal against Ceferin, the president of UEFA, I can’t do better. But I don’t miss any of that.”, has also launched Michel Platini. The message got through!
