Platini: I don't know if Maradona is the best in history, my idol is Cruyff

Live Bar November 27, 2017 In an interview with the Milan Sports Newspaper, French football star Platini talked about maradona. Platini said that if he joined Napoli that year, he would leave the No. 10 shirt to Maradona. However, Platini also said that he did not know whether Maradona was the best in the history of football because there are so many good players.

Platini said: "Maradona has not been in good health for a long time, he is gone, which makes me feel very sad. I don't know if he's the strongest player in football history, but he's a phenomenal player. ”

"Maradona, Bailey, Cruyff, Ronaldo and Zidane, those names all mark an era, but don't ask me who is the best, because I really don't know, just like you ask me if the Beatles are the best band, there is no answer to this question, and this question does not make sense. My idol is Cruyff, therefore....."

"At Napoli, the club has built a very strong team with Maradona at its centre and we must not forget Giordano, Carreca and other players. Maradona has all the technical means needed to be a champion, his left foot is great, he's fast, unfortunately I've never had that kind of speed. If you don't have that talent, you won't be Maradona. ”

"Maradona is more like a centre forward or a two-striker, and I'm more like a midfielder, but we're all different. On the field, he is the eternal protagonist, people respect him and love him. Maradona gave me the impression of genius, kindness, generosity, he was a respectable opponent, he always respected his opponent, he never provoked on the pitch. Maradona was strong, but few people could help him. Every player he's played against has said he's great, but maybe they haven't given him what he really needs. ”

"I don't know if Agnelli would dream of building a Juventus team that owns me and Maradona at the same time, but Dasin tried to take me to Napoli. If I did join Napoli, I would leave my Number 10 shirt to Maradona because Napoli is his home stadium after all, and then I would choose the No. 20, lol, you know, the No. 20 is two No. 10. ”
