Michel Platini spoke to the microphones of “L’Équipe” after the acquittal from the accusation of fraud: “It is a beautiful day, but I cannot tell you that it is one of the most beautiful of my life because it is only the confirmation of what I say. for seven years. It’s good that the truth finally comes out after so many manipulations, lies and injustices. I told you I was honest, you had to believe me (laughs, ed)! The FIFA commission and the CAS didn’t believe me, while a true court believed me today. The justice of those who are not in football saves me from the justice of football, when I have dedicated my whole life to this sport. This is what hurts. “
Are you afraid of a FIFA appeal?
“They will do what they want, but I, in their place, after what they took in their mouth today, I would not do the return match! But hey, it’s not their money but the football money that their lawyers pay.”
A message for Infantino?
“None. I can only say that I will not let anything pass, it’s not over. In France I filed a complaint to know exactly who manipulated everything, we will start having fun!”
Will he return to football?
“I don’t know. I’m so young, I have even more hair than Infantino! I still have many years ahead of me. We’ll see.”
