Buffon: 'Donnarumma Juve bound? Any big club should get him. Retirement in 2018? perhaps....'

• 14 dic 2016

Gianluigi Buffon was interviewed by Premium Sport, here is what he had to say: "24 straight home wins? Numbers don't lie but you can't just base yourself on that. Were you happy to see Juve get Porto in the CL draw? No I was not, any team can cause you problems but it could've been worse I guess. Porto are a strong side who eliminated Roma so we have to be fully concentrated. We respect them and we will give our all".

NICE STYLE OF FOOTBALL- "We did very well in the past 2 games and we played an attractive style of football.We showed a lot of character and that's very important". 

ON ROMA- "Juve vs Roma will be an important game for both clubs. Roma and Napoli have always been our challengers over the past few years and it won't be easy against Roma since they are coming off a big win versus Milan and they are also playing well".

TOTTI- " Totti won't be available ? Well whenever he doesn't play, I am happy because he is such a great player. I have the highest respect for Totti, he is class and he can change a game in a matter of seconds". 

ITALIAN SUPERCUP- "It is interesting to end the calendar year with a supercup final. It's different but it should be a great experience for us".

RETIREMENT- 9th place on the Ballon d'or list? I did not even know but I am pleased to hear this.At 39 years old, to be in the top 10 list is an honor for me but in the end it is the winner who will smile the most. Retirement after the 2018 World cup? The plan is this but I might still play another year after that, it all depends on a specific situation, that only me and the president know about ".

DONNARUMMA- " Would I advise Juve to get Donnarumma? I would advise any big club who need a goalkeeper to get him, he is a phenom".
