Platini in "I was a cheating Frenchman" shocker
Now I remember why I hated him
"I know why players do it, I've dived myself," said the former France international. "We did it because we knew the referee wouldn't see it and because there were no cameras. However, with our plan to bring in five officials, you will be spotted.
"It was always my dream to dive and get a penalty in the 1982 World Cup semi-final to make up for how Harald Schumacher fouled Patrick Battiston outside the penalty area. If I could have done it, I would because I hate injustice and I wanted to put things right. I just couldn't get into the box to do it."
