President of UEFA, Michel Platini, has paid tribute to Juventus for capturing the Scudetto against all odds, and insists that the Bianconeri deserve to be the winners of the league title this season.
The Frenchman exclaimed that while his http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Job-c18684 as a UEFA official requires him to stay neutral, he has a heart which is delighted to see the Old Lady win the league.
The President insisted that the Vecchia Signora’s wonderful exhibition on the field has left him in no doubt that they deserved the title of the Champions. He went on to congratulate the Turin giants on their wonderful league triumph, and insisted that the
league trophy is a great feat for the club.
While talking to Gazzetta dello Sport, 56-year-old said:
“I’m neutral in terms that I am the President of UEFA, but I do have a heart. I have to be happy for Juventus. They deserved the championship and I applaud them for their achievement.”
Platini is a former player for Juventus and won the European Competition playing for the team. The league victory will see the Bianconeri return to the big European stage once again in the next season.
The UEFA executive stated that while the team has done considerably well to win in http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Italy-c2926, the Champions League is a completely different competition.
The former attacking-midfielder for the Zebrette pointed out that the lack of European commitments made the league relatively easier for the Old Lady.
The President added that the Bianconeri need to grow before they can challenge the best of European club football, and insisted that the team will have to wait a few years before they can win the Champions League.
“Winning in Europe is not the same as winning at home. I honestly don’t think that the Champions League can arrive tomorrow; the side still needs time to grow. This season, without any European commitments, it was easier for them to just concentrate on one
objective.” He added.
