At Casa Azzurri, after yesterday’s victory in the debut match against Albania, Gigi Buffon spoke in the morning: “Ours is a balanced team, which has awareness and even with a difficult start like yesterday’s which could have destabilized we continued as a player and grind the game. That’s our strength and in my opinion we deserved the victory I think they are inevitable tools if you want to try to get the most out of the kids.”
YESTERDAY’S RACE
“In my opinion we need to focus on the shocking start, the disadvantage and the serenity with which we managed to make up for it in just a few minutes. This was the strongest signal to take. Then among many good things there are others to fix, because with a little more cynicism and anger to close the matches maybe we wouldn’t have risked seeing a ninetieth victory of capital importance vanish.”
THE SIMILARITY BETWEEN LIPPI AND SPALLETTI
“There is a lot of similarity between Lippi and Spalletti: the management of the men and the group is similar. There is the moment in which it is nice to be friends with the group and the moment in which the boys have to understand that there is a commander and so these two alternating things must be there if you want to be protagonists to the end.”
SPAIN
“In the match against Spain, even if there is great respect towards them, it will have to be played to get the most out of it, make a good impression and continue on this path undertaken.”
THE WORDS ABOUT DONNARUMMA
“Yesterday Gigio’s save was decisive because it put an important victory on ice and if it had faded it would have been a shame.”
THE SWEET MEMORY
“I got the emotion yesterday when I saw Ale Del Piero and my thoughts went back to 18 years ago.”
THE CHALLENGE WITH SPAIN IN 2016 AND NOW
“I think that Spain in 2016 was at the end of the cycle, but now we are a national team almost at the beginning of the cycle and in two years we could be at the top, but already now we can reach high performance levels.”
