Michel Platini, a Juventus legend, believes Cristiano Ronaldo as well as Leo Messi should've just moved to the United States or China & praises Massimiliano Allegri's Juventus.
The fmr France striker spoke with the Italian newspaper La Gazzetta dello Sport about the Serie A title race. His former club Juventus appears to be out of contention for the Scudetto, but the 66-year-old sees parallels between Allegri's squad and his side team coached by Giovanni Trapattoni in the 1980s.
"They are comparable. Juventus is indeed a team with high morals. A team that uses counter-attacks to score goals in a clever and powerful manner.
"It's built around positional discipline, which is in Juventus' DNA."
There was a time when I worked with Zoff, Gentile, Cabrini, and Scirea, and then I worked for the BBC. Andrea Agnelli once informed me that the issue would be finding replacements. "Italian soccer is not as offensive as English football, but they probably meet in Europe and English professional teams don't even touch the ball," Platini added. "I enjoy the variety. There are trainers like Pep Guardiola as well as Massimiliano Allegri. It's tedious to watch two tiki-taka teams compete." Platini is thrilled by Dusan Vlahovic, despite the fact that he 'did not know him' previously. "If he keeps performing at this rate, he looks really strong; perhaps he did miss the final pass." I was moved to tears when Paulo Dybala mimicked my celebration. After that, I texted him. It's fantastic.
It's great to be seeing him play. Like Omar Sivori, he is left-footed as well as technical." Cristiano Ronaldo managed to score 101 goals in 134 appearances for Juventus, however the Bianconeri did not make the expected progress in Europe after CR7 arrived in 2018.
"I admire Ronaldo as well as Messi, but I decided to retire at the age of 32." "I could have gone to Barcelona and perhaps even Marseille, however and I wanted to be associated with the club where I made history," the former striker explained. "Ronaldo represented Real Madrid, and Messi represented Barcelona." If I had been them, I would have relocated to the United States and otherwise China, n't yet to another major club." Former striker believes Argentine really shouldn't have won the Ballon d'Or in 2021. "Who was victorious?"
"Who was the winner of the Champions League and also the Euros?" Jorginho.” Finally, Platini chastised Alexander Ceferin and perhaps Gianni Infantino. "I don't respect them," he admitted, "but I say it all with levity." "They are free to do whatever they want." I'm leaving. I would never forgive all who wrongfully accused me and forced me to retire from football. They triumphed, but I'll always seek justice."
