In the run up to the friendly match against Germany, Italy's boss, Cesare Prandelli, is making his choices: Buffon will return in Azzurro after nine months due to his injury. For Prandelli Buffon is an undisputable leader, the strength of Italy both in the present and in the future. But is he still no.1? Since his return at Juventus he has played 5 games and let 5 goals in. With him, the Bianconeri won only two times. The best goalkeeper in the world is just a memory. Buffon doesn't have to demonstrate anything, he has give a lot to Juve and Italy, but in football one cannot live on memories and gratefulness. In these last 9 months Prandelli tried out young players such as Sirigu and Viviano, and they performed well. The keeper of Palermo is considered the best in Serie A, whilst Bologna's no. 1 is giving his team great help to stay in Serie A before he goes to Inter.
