Michel is the son of Aldo Platini, a former professional football player and coach of Italian descent. Aldo Platini allowed his son room to develop his skills.

The young Platini honed his ability to dribble the ball in the streets. In this respect he was different to the players developing their skills in the training academies then emerging in France. He joined his local club AS Jœuf on September 10, 1966. From his father Platini learnt early on the fundamental importance of anticipating play and knowing whom to pass to before receiving possession of the ball.

Zinédine Zidane said:

"When I was a kid and played with my friends, I always chose to be Platini. I let my friends share the names of my other idols between themselves."
