"The respect and the esteem I have for my team-mates are enough, I do not care about the rest," he told Sky Sport Italia.

"I am happy the way I am. This is a world where everyone defends their position. I would say exactly the same things.

"I do not have to justify myself, people can write what they want. I repeat that I did not see anything in that situation."

From Goal.com

A true captain. Forza super Gigi.

He knows he's the shit, he knows his reputation is so grand that even if he fucked an underage alter-boy no one could touch him.

Grandissimo Gigi!

All this ballyhoo around Gigi is a bullshit. I can't imagine the situation when Buffon after pushing ball from the net run to the referee and plea him to score the goal. As same as in Henry's situation in that prominent match against Irland. How should players behave in such cases? according to the theory of high morality features, players have to confess after every hit in the leg or hand ball made by them. Referee could become needless at all. The morality and fairplay its a good thing but not in all cases.

Legend.

People in the media, etc., criticizing Buffon for his comments, they need to shut the fuck up. It's not Gigi's job to decide whether the ball is or isn't in the net; other people are getting paid good money to do that job. He doesn't need to say a damn thing, even if he thinks it was in. It's his job to react, to stop the ball, and he did that to the best of his ability... that first save was a beauty.

I love this man.
