Maradona apologizes to Platini though not Pele

BEIJING, June 19 (Xinhuanet) -- Maradona had an unexpected answer to a reporter's question after his side's 4-1 win as to a reporters question about why he shows so much affection towards his players.

Here's what he had to say....

"I love women... so people don't think I've turned over...I prefer women, I'm dating Veronica, she is 31 years old, she is blonde, she is beautiful."

Maradona has criticized football legends Pele and Michel Platini lately....and at his presser, he produced a letter, which he said had been written by Platini.

"I have to do this. I spoke about Michel Platini and he sent me this letter in which he clarifies that he didn't say what you guys (the press) told me had said about me... That's why I want to apologise if I offended Michel Platini. But I don't want to apologise to Pele."
