Video - Platini - Goals scored in the European Cups.

That video is all about the goals Platini scored on the European stage. That is the topic in what concerns the serie "European Nights Goals". So no assists or any other plays. Only this specific aspect of his game here and in the particular context of the European Cups matches.
It is 25 out of 28 his goals, shown in chronological order.

This retraces well his career. What a "strange" career so to speak or to say the least. The affairs in Saint-Etienne then of course his move to Juventus, the Heysel. It ends with a goal scored in Iceland when he played on one leg. The end of his footballing career. That said, what a player! But what a strange, spooky career too wich has continued and is still now continuing in the corridors of power as it is impossible to not know. I mean, did this guy sign a pact with the devil? Remember his 9 goals at the Euro 1984 too. What do you think? Yes he did. And yes, for real.

Now his records foundable on rsssf (contrarily to the ones proposed here and only here). The sign * indicates the goals that do not appear in the video.

 My thoughts turn to the victims of the Heysel Stadium disaster, to their families and to their friends.

UEFA Champions League Final Man of the Match Award (since 2001)

It is well-known that Football is the most individualistic sport amongst collective sports. This is true.

And despite the fact that football is a sport that is played collectively, it seems there is always the need to extract one piece out of the 11 pieces puzzle. UEFA is not here to work things out on this point of view since they created the "Champions League Final Man of the match" award in the beginning of the century, in 2001. This was first awarded to Oliver Kahn, hero of the penalty shootoots between his team of Munich and Valencia after a very solid match (by him and from the both whole sides).

It remains that the "palmarès" can be an indicator of who was maybe the iconic player of the winning team (the loosers have never been awarded here) like Gerrard, Maldini or Xavi, that globally during the competition, during the Final or both things. Also he can be the most decisive in terms of goals scored (Eto'o, Inzaghi, Milito...), the most spectacular (Zidane, also scorer, Kahn in some ways) or a bit all of that at once.

Of course some (or all) choices are debatable and the "fans" had their say until recent days.

Here is the Palmarès of the CL Final "MoM's" by UEFA, some guys who vote:

All-Time French National Football Team

Onze français de tous les temps

All-Time France by Football Yesterday & Today (blogspot)

 Eng + Fr

That's mine. Its base is a four-men defence composed by the 4 classiest defenders. All centrals (even if Bossis on the right is no deluded choice at all since he started his career as a LB, then played on the right in 82 then became a libero in Nantes while he became more the stopper for France a bit later). Trésor, it is not always remembered, started his international career as a LB, even if libero in club so...why not? It is a virtual team after all and once again I wanted the defenders that stands out, that on the two following points: in technique and in leadership. Without forgetting the defensive skills of course but that is not what can really make the difference exception made of Desailly maybe. Probably the best French defender ever in what concerns to mark an opponent (and with a very good general technique too). 

Now, the midfield. And attack. The midfield is in my opinion a no-brainer (let see what Pogba will do better than them, how his game can evolve, or not). In attack, Fontaine for Henry is maybe the controversial point. Papin had his word to say too.

And the keepers? Keepers is grand family and if Barthez is not the father of it, sure he is the best son's.

C'est la mienne (d'Equipe de France de Football de tous les temps). Elle se base sur une défense à quatre composée des plus élégants (et représentatifs) défenseurs de l'histoire de L'EDF (même si on peut également, très justement penser à Jonquet et Bosquier). Tous des arrière centraux donc bien que Bossis fut précisément arrière latéral (tout d'abord côté gauche, ensuite côté droit) puis libéro et stoppeur. Trésor, quant à lui, avait commencé sa carrière internationale au poste d'arrière gauche bien que libéro en club alors...pourquoi pas? C'est une équipe virtuelle après tout et une fois encore il fallait aligner les défenseurs qui s' élèvent au-dessus de la mêlée, ce sur deux points en particulier qui sont les suivants: la technique et la capacité d' être le  meneur d'une équipe, d'un groupe. Sans oublier bien sûr les qualités defensives "pures" ou de base ce qui n'est néanmoins pas ce qui peut faire la différence entre les grands et les très grands défenseurs et puis, le jeu des latéraux a tellement évolué, alors il vaut mieux se concentrer sur les centraux (et les concentrer dans cette équipe de tous les temps). Les qualités défensives de Desailly ont cependant constitué l'argument majeur pour sa sélection bien que le joueur n'était pas dépourvu d'une très bonne technique. Mais les "oubliés", on le comprend, sont certainement Thuram et Lizarazu...et Amoros...parmis d'autres encore. On pense à Sagnol (plutôt très bon) ou encore à Battiston (défenseur latéral et central ).

Maintenant, le milieu. Et l'attaque. Le choix des milieux de terrain s'impose de lui-même pour ainsi dire (nous verrons si Pogba fera mieux que ceux-là, comment son jeu évoluera, ou non). En attaque, Fontaine plutôt qu' Henry sera, peut-être, Le sujet de la controverse. De même, Papin a son mot à dire.

Et les gardiens? Et bien les gardiens c'est une grande famille. Et si Barthez n'en est naturellement pas le père, il en est sûrement le meilleur fils. Mais peut-être que les fans d' Hugo Lloris (il doit y en avoir, c'est effectivement un excellent gardien de but) ne seront pas d'accord avec cela. Mais passé outre les petites boulettes post-98 on se souviendra de l'Ariègeois comme d'un goal extraordinaire sur sa ligne et de bien souvent très rassurant sur ses sorties aériennes, un point que le gardien actuel de l' Equipe de France doit encore améliorer.

Et la vôtre, à quoi ressemblerait-elle, d' équipe? N'hésitez pas à partager vos équipes de rêve.
