Between Us

More than 30 years ago, Michel Platini ended his career as a brilliant footballer, the legendary midfielder of Nancy, Saint-Étienne, Juventus, and of course, the French national team. This book tells the story of what happened next — the second... life of one of the greatest footballers in history. You will learn firsthand about the obstacles Platini faced in the upper echelons of football. Together with him, you will walk the thorny path of a man who sincerely loves and defends football, but — having been unjustly accused — is forced to defend his honor before FIFA officials and bureaucrats. This trial did not break Platini; it only strengthened his faith in the unifying power of football. Interspersing his narrative with memories and funny anecdotes from the past, the three-time Ballon d'Or winner reflects on modern football and the dangerous trends threatening it in the future: dizzying transfers, the obsession with video assistance systems, an increasing number of competitions.
