For the first time since the judgment of the Extraordinary Court of Appeal of the Federal Criminal Court of March 25, Michel Platini spoke. He did this during a press conference, organized as part of the twentieth edition of the Fondazione Vialli e Mauro Golf Cup. The French legend notably denied the rumors of an alleged proposal received to become president of the Bianconero club.
“”No one ever called me to Juventus. I can't think about it if there have never been any contacts, I can only say that I have a good life and that it suits me. Agnelli had asked me at the time, but I said no because I had to go home, but I am obviously honored if after 40 years, people still think of me. I do not look at Italian football much, because we do not see it in France and as I am no longer president of UEFA, I am a little less, but I am happy that Juve arrived 4th. In football, when you can't win, you at least try not to lose, the Champions League is very important for the club».
