Buffon: «We must believe and try»
After the home defeat against Cagliari and two days prior to the Coppa Italia match against Napoli, Gigi Buffon in an interview on Rai Due spoke of the moment the team is going through. The journalist asked whether Juventus are suffering from the injuries incurred : «We are suffering the effects of a long run and it is only natural that one needs to rest after such a great effort».
There is also room for a lot of auto-criticism this time through his personal website: «There is much disappointment following the two consecutive defeats against Udinese and Cagliari and the many goals conceded. Pity, because the matches against Catania and Fiorentina had left good hope. However. I am not the type of person to cry over spilt milk and blame others. I know we can and must do better, beginning from me. I must help the team more, saving it even in situations when the goal seems inevitable: this is what is rightly demanded of me and it is what I want to do! In any case I am hopeful with regards to the next matches, starting from the one on Wednesday night in the Coppa Italia against Napoli».
Buffon, in the interview, also has words for encouragement not to lose hope: «It is alright to be temporarily overtaken by Milan because what counts at the end is the first place. We must believe and try to obtain it».
