At Juventus, in a team featuring numerous members of Italy's victorious
World Cup squad, Platini had a difficult introduction to Italian
football. He was a target in the demanding Italian sports media, and
even came close to leaving Italy in the winter of his first season.
Platini and team-mate Zbigniew Boniek successfully called for a change
in tactics, and in the second half of the season Juventus saw an upturn
in their fortunes. They reached the European Cup final, losing to
Hamburg, and won the Italian Cup, the first of many club honours to
follow for Platini in the coming seasons. He won the Italian
championship with Juventus in 1984 and 1986, the European Cup Winners'
Cup in 1984, the 1984 European Super Cup, the European Cup in 1985 (in a
controversial game against Liverpool), and the 1985 World Club
Championship. He finished top scorer in Serie A for three consecutive
seasons (1982-83, 1983-84 and 1984-85), and won a hat-trick of European
Footballer of the Year awards (1983 through 1985). Platini was also
voted Player of the Year by World Soccer magazine in 1984 and 1985.
Following the 1986 World Cup in Mexico, Platini spent another season at Juventus before retiring from football in June 1987. |
