The former Parma goalkeeper feels that the English number one has it in him to be the best in the world, but stated that he is not the best in the world as yet.
The Italian was talking to the press before the fourth and last quarter-final of the tournament and lauded the abilities of http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Joe-Hart-c18699 along with other shot-stoppers at the tournament.
Buffon would go down as one of the finest goalkeepers to have ever donned the Italian national jersey and has great experience to back up his claims on who has it in them to one day be the best goalkeeper in the world.
La Nazionale captain was talking to the assembled media alongside two other teammates and when quizzed over his opinion on the goalkeeper with the potential to be the best in the world, he went on to mention http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Manuel-Neuer-c23424, Joe Hart and his team-mate, Salvatore
Sirigu, with the greatest potential and remarked:
"Together with Neuer and Sirigu, he can become the best goalkeeper in the world."
The veteran went on to state his belief on what makes up for the best goal-keeper in the world, and pointed out that meticulousness and hard work led you to be the best, and went on to state:
"The difference between a normal goalkeeper and a great goalkeeper is the attention to detail, not to commit mistakes during one season."
Talking about the style of the English team, Buffon took the example of Chelsea’s play being similar to that of Roy Hodgson’s men. He further went on to state:
"http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/England-c749 and Chelsea."
Many have suggested a similarity to the English style of play mirroring Italian’s style of play, and Buffon’s assessment might be driven from the fact that an Italian was coaching Chelsea at the tail end of the season.
