“I was expecting a call from Conte,” the now 35-year-old stated to the Gazzetta dello Sport on Monday. “He told me some beautiful and important things.
“In the previous season, which was the first under the Presidency of Andrea Agnelli, I hardly played in the first half of the campaign because of injury and I wasn’t myself in the second.
“My head was elsewhere,” the club captain, who needed back surgery after the 2010 World Cup, added. “I thought the time had come for me to change, to leave Juventus.
“However then the new directors and I got to know each other better and their opinion of me changed. To have the maturity to fix relationships after some disagreements bonds you even more.
“That telephone call from Conte was important and, from that moment, I was even more of a Juventino than I was before.”

It is this part that I was a bit curious about. What disagreements?

They probably wanted to do him a Delpie/Trez.

Made me quite nervous about those long distance shots, because he insisted on stomping the ball back into play. Did alright overall.

His saves against Lazio:

Funny Superman?

Age is taking its toll on him. We should be thinking about replacing him next season or the one after. (as bad as that sounds)

having a problem dealing with the late swerve of these new footballs, needs to rectify that.

yea i agree, i can hit one of these footballs and make it swerve so easily, all goalkeepers have this problem now and most have the same problem with dealing with them

I sense that teams are targeting him cos of that little weakness of his.Imagine dem Bale's and CR's long shots Really hope Buffon comes out strongly out of this.

 

[Klin]

Anyone else mentioned how awesome his kit looks?

 

[Mr Chocolate]

his kit looks awesome

Almost all goalies have this folly due to the vicious swerve of these new balls especially if the shot is coming directly at the goalie. It's less of a problem when the shot is placed at the corners. I think what we should do is work on our defenders reaction. Work on strategies to give Gigi more protection. I remember a Vucinic shot that Muslera punched right in front of him but the Lazio defenders got the ball first.

chiello, pirlo and maybe pogba according to mark post

forza ragazzi

 

[LiquidPLP]

Overall he was good. Our defenders have to be faster in situations like the one with Klose.

Who looks like a 'Pensioner' now?

I didn't like he was shouting at our players because Candreva and Hernanes were making long shots, over 30m, if he can't make a save from that distance then, he shouldn't be in goal at all.

Well, to your knowledge, defenders must block (or try to ) these shots...even Conte said it!!!
Now don't put all the blame on Gigi...
Having siad that, I think he shares the responsibility of letting Lazio score...
