Please stop with this nonsense.
Platini was an incredible talent, one of the all time greats in the game, elegant beyond belief. Better than Maradona? Even Platini himself would admit he wasn't as good as Diego.
The fact remains that Maradona dragged Napoli from nothing to win 2 league titles, a Coppa and a UEFA Cup (when it meant something), not to mention stamping his whole name over a World Cup like nobody has ever done before or since in 1986, then being overweight and ridiculously drugged up and still carried a poor Argentina team to another final four years later. Maradona got butchered by defenders, watch any footage of the shit he put up with in the 80s.
Anyone who puts Zidane over Maradona is down to a generational gap. Zidane is in the second tier bracket of great players. El Diego is top of the mountain.
First of all, I hate you for making me dig up memories i didnt want to bring back up, and that are allready somewere on the forum.
Between age 11 and 18, i spend 2/3 houres each day between comming home from school (at my uncle), and my father picking me up when he finished with work. My uncle was french, and a massive fan of Platini. he was one of the few in the 80 around our town that had sattelite connection, and a pretty neat hifi setup for that time. He taped most of those games on VCR. especially the more important ones.
During those years, we watched one game each day. Offcourse during times when my father was hospitalised, and i didnt have school, that could increase to like 4 games or something. Football was good those times.
between my 22 and 26 when i moved back at my father, i didnt had this weekly time, but again the few times each year he was hospitalised i stayd there after work/school or during vacations, watching more games.
Last two years i've not found the time for a regular game, but it happens on occasions.
So yeah, i've seen quite a bit of platini. Zidane and Del Piero i saw live.
Platini was the best player ever to wear a juventus shirt. Not even close

exactly what i wanted to point out !
The genious, the brilliant actions, its gone from football. I remember watching him, it was something otherworldy. Flares and bengal fire in the stands, smoke, the fans trowing the tickets on the field before the kickoff. The pure pace and brilliance of actions.
I feel so much is lost. Hence i remember those zidane roulettes, managing a way out of a 4 player lock. del piero's double fake and turn.
Everything became so dull nowadays. Pirlo has to be the last great artist. such a shame. Even Ronaldo isnt doing all those tricks anymore

You missunderstood me, I watched them as a kid, that's why it was much more romantic and full of WOW, not only because the league and players were better or more fun to watch. Though I agree that nowdays, players are really grey and dull, at least to me. But I think the same about NBA or any other sport too, and that has a lot to do about how I percieved them when I was kid and how I do now.
So you hearing about Platini everyday from your releatives how good he was or watching when you were just a kid is not really an objective thing is it?
