Platini And Blatter Preparing For Jail

Michel Platini was a great football player. He used to play for Juventus Torino during an era when his main opponent was Diego Armando Maradona. Meanwhile Maradona started training footbal teams like Argentina national football team or Al Wasl FC in UAE. Michel Platini has chosen to be UEFA's president. 

Diego is now still a god in Naples and in his own country. Michel Platini was already suspended for 8 years being suspected of corruption. Sepp Blatter payed 2 millions Swiss Francs to him and no one can explain were are this money coming from and what was the purpose of such a bonus/salary. 

Being suspected of trying to wash black money, these 2 people are risking to go in prison. Both of them have to pay substantial fines: £ 53,000 Michel Platini and £ 33,000 Sepp Blater. Since Blatter will no longer be president of FIFA, Platini intended to take this role. After this scandal his future is ruined. There is no doubt who was greater: Maradona or Platini.
