Macron encourages Platini to make a comeback

"Come back. I would be very happy,” said President Emmanuel Macron in a telephone message recorded for the radio station RTL to the ex-boss of the European association UEFA, who was invited as a studio guest. “I know that the last few years have been hard, that the wounds have sometimes been deep, that the feeling of injustice is also there. But you still have a lot to do. “If you would be willing to commit yourself to football, sport and our country again, I would be thrilled,” Macron continued. Platini, who was banned from former World Association head Joseph S. Blatter (Switzerland) for accepting a million-dollar sum and therefore lost his position as UEFA President, reacted deeply: “I think I'm going to faint. I am very moved. I didn't expect the president to be able to say such nice things about me." However, Platini, who is one of the Grande Nation's most important football idols, only hinted at his future plans. “I will come back in such a way that I can be useful.” Platini may be hoping to get advice from a personal conversation with Macron: “I will talk to him.”
