The Bianconeri goalkeeper states that the Old Lady striker has broken all records at Juventus and believes that the veteran will remain the image of the club for centuries to come.
Gigi Buffon has voiced his admiration for http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Alessandro-c4710 Del Piero, stating that he would give anything to be in the striker’s place, and believes that the skipper will remain an unforgettable icon of the Old Lady.
Del Piero is set to part company with the Turin giants, after a spectacular career spanning over two decades.
Buffon stated that the departure of Del Piero from the Old Lady will mark an end to a spectacular career, that saw the attacker beat almost every record at Juventus.
The Vecchia Signora goalkeeper insisted that considering the astounding achievements, the veteran striker will define the image of the Turin giants for centuries to come.
The Bianconeri keeper went on to state that the Old Lady attacker could not have asked for a better career, and insisted that he feels envious of the accomplishments held by the http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Italy-c2926 striker.
While talking to the press, the 34-year-old said:
“As he ends his Juve career like this, having beaten every record, he will be seen as the image of this club for the next 150-200 years. I don’t think he could’ve asked for anything more and I’d have loved to be in his place after
everything he has achieved.”
Despite his achievements, http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Alessandro-Del-Piero-c4726’s contract with the club was not renewed, due to his ageing fitness. However, the Old Lady wanted to retire the legendary number 10 shirt held by the striker, but the veteran ruled
against the decision.
Buffon insisted that the former Padova attacker’s decision to save the number 10 jersey from retirement is a testament to his great character. The Old Lady glovesman stated that the shirt represents a great legacy, and will be
a matter of pride for its future holders.
“Alex’s gesture in not wanting the number 10 jersey to be retired only confirmed what a great man he is. In future those who have the honour of wearing it will know whose shoulders it graced.”
A part of the new Juventus museum has been dedicated to commemorating Alessandro Del Piero’s memory at the club.
