I'm not worried about this one as much as I am about the cagliari and atalanta ones. Nevertheless we still need to be attentive and kill the game off early
Platini made a promise to the then Novara Club President or possibly the Mayor of Novara, back in 2010, that were the club to get promoted he would come and watch a game. I read somewhere that Platini was known to have commented on the great cross-boarder relationship between France and the Piedmont region. So I guess this game was the obvious choice given his ties to both teams.
Platini's grandfather is from a twon very close to Novara and Platini promised Novara president that one day he will attend a match at their stadium if they return to the higher ranks. Platini of course chose their encounter with Juventus for this occasion.
He has promised months ago to attend this game specifically because his grandfather comes from a small village in Novara, therefore this game holds something for him.
