Buffon: «We must guard our backs in the championship»

February 26, 2010

Gigi Buffon, who has been stopped by a muscle injury, watched the match against Ajax, which saw the team through to the next round of the Champions League, as a spectator. As a guest of the Dsquared fashion show, organized by the fashion lable that provides the Juventus uniforms, the super-keeper commented on Sky Sport 24 about yesterday’s match: «We had a good first half and we deserved to score. In the second half we were a bit tired and controlled the draw». When he was made to note that from outside the field it seemed that Diego did not appreciate the substitution he answered: «When a team emerges from a dark moment like we have, these sort of problems are not created. I did not speak to him but he holds the common cause dear».

Notwithstanding the good moment, unbeaten in 6 matches («We were used ti such results. Your surprise nearly offends us!»), Gigi adviced everyone to keep their feet on the ground: «Seeing the point margin from the thris placed and the fifth, we must guard our backs more then look ahead. The race to the title? If Inter continue to have important matches, I think that both Milan and Roma can give the nerazzurri a hard time».

Finally a comment on Alberto Zaccheroni: «He is a person with clear ideas and besides when a coach is exonerated, the players feel more responsible and alibis and excuses fall».
