TORINO – Eventually someone steps in discussion. His name is Gigi Buffon and he, unlike everyone else, is thinking about resignation as a team manager of the National team. It is not yet a formal act, but a reflection. A reflection that arises not so much from the elimination against Switzerland, but from the modewhich he considered serious.
Gigi doesn’t hide
Buffon He is not the type to hide, he has never done so in his life, even when he was overwhelmed by controversy e criticisms he never tried hideoutseven when they were all in all comfortable. He doesn’t do it even today, when, at 46 years old, he has taken on the commitment to offer his experience and his advice for leading the Azzurri group as team manager, a sort of non-playing captain, a role covered first by Gigi Riva and then by Gianluca Vialli.
Reflection on defeat
No reflects about what happened in Germania and invites to reflection everyone. Gigi, symbol of theItalia recognized throughout the world, he is very un-Italian: he is not interested in a permanent job, even less so if it is the result of a sort of untouchability deriving from his career and his status as a legend. Gigi wants to give a contribution and cares about that thing that some call dignity, others call respect for oneself or for others. So he can take in consideration the hypothesis of stepping aside, he can allow himself the moral luxury of thinking about resigning to take responsibility with facts and not just with words.
No letter
There is none letter on the desk of Gravinaat the moment Buffon reflects. In the next few hours there could also be a confrontation and then a decision. Whatever it is, for Buffon the defeat at the European Championships it is not something to digest easily and without jolts.
