Juventus legend Michel Platini insists that Luciano Spalletti is a ‘good coach’ who ‘can’t win without good players’ and believes that the Super League ‘will happen one day.’
Ex-Juventus striker Platini released a long interview with La Gazzetta dello Sport, where he didn’t only talk about his former club and their new No.10 Kenan Yildiz.
A former UEFA President, Platini, predicted that the Super League project would be realised sooner or later.
“It will happen one day, but I don’t know if it will take five or 20 years,” he said.
“All the clubs had agreed, do you remember it? The Court said that the UEFA monopoly is over. It all started with the Bosman. I don’t like it, but we have it.”
Platini is not even a fan of the new Champions League.
“The version with 32 clubs and groups was better, but Ceferin surrendered to the clubs.”
‘Poor Spalletti’ – Platini defends Italy coach and says ‘Super League will happen’
The former France international, a 1984 Euro winner, didn’t quite enjoy the latest European Championship but defended Italy coach Spalletti.
“The Euros were not so good to watch. I only liked Spain, who played with two wingers without a No.10. There are no more footballing schools, and everyone plays like Pep [Guardiola] now. It’s all the same. Nowadays, they don’t evaluate centre-backs for their defending but for how they build up. The game still needs real defenders.
“Italy no longer has strong players,” concluded Platini.
“Not playing in two consecutive editions of the World Cup is too much. Poor Spalletti, a good coach can’t win without good players.”
Wrong Italy is choosing the wrong players. Bryan Cristante is not a responsible selection, and they have to move to the younger generation of players who have more hunger.
MAKE SUPER LEAGUE HAPPEN !
Mr Platini don’t forget France missed the 90 and 94 World Cup
