The Bianconeri goalkeeper states that he cannot forget the silence after handing a goal to Andrea Bertolacci; hails the Scudetto as a grand achivement.
Gigi Buffon has shed light on his feelings after conceding the crucial goal against Lecce, which put their Scudetto run in jeopardy, and insists that Juventus transformed from a caterpillar to butterfly during the season.
The Bianconeri’s supremacy in the league was put at risk, when the Old Lady glovesman gifted a simple goal to http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Andrea-Bertolacci-c5670, causing their match against a 10-man Lecce to end in a 1-1 stalemate.
The Old Lady keeper stated that he could see Bertolacci advancing to take the shot, but insisted that he felt like it was a dream that will magically stop, and prevent the ball from reaching the back of the net.
The Vecchia Signora player stated that the sensation after conceding the goal was overwhelmingly miserable, even though Antonio Conte had prepared everyone for a crisis like this. The veteran insisted that the silence, after the ball went past him for the
Parma equaliser, was tormenting, and almost killed him.
While talking to Tuttosport, the 34-year-old said:
“From the ground I could see Bertolacci running towards the goal and I said to myself… relax, it’s just a film, now something will happen. He might faint before he gets there. It’s not a good sensation, even if with Antonio Conte and my teammates at the
start of the season we had taken into account something horrible could happen. I remember the silence straight after that idiotic thing I did. It kills you. At that point you have to ask yourself: will they massacre me or hold me up by the shoulders?”
Buffon chose to stay with Juventus when the team went into Serie B following the Calciopoli scandal, and emerged six-years later back at the top of Serie A. The Bianconeri goalkeeper stated that the path to the Scudetto was littered with difficulties, but
insisted that the support of the fans helped him to stay with the Turin giants.
The Old Lady glovesman stated that he always believed in the team’s ability to do great things, and insisted that the Bianconeri’s rise to the top is a great achievement.
