Buffon's ultrà spirit
Monday 7 December, 2009
Juventus goalkeeper Gigi Buffon says it's about time he showed his ultrà side after Saturday's scrap with Thiago Motta during the Derby d'Italia.
The Italy No 1, renowned for his cool head, lost it for a moment, getting involved in an ugly tussle with Motta who looked to have said something offensive.
Speaking to Tuttosport, Buffon revealed: “He didn't say anything. It's just at times you take something well and at other times you take something badly.
“This time I took it badly. But there are occasions in which it's good to make yourself heard.”
Asked if this meant Buffon has changed his softly softly approach with Juventus's opponents, Buffon replied: “It's true. You see that my ultra spirit has returned to the surface. But in this case I can allow myself because on Wednesday I'll have an operation and even if I were suspended for the next round…
“With Motta there is history. Six or seven years ago, when he played for Barcelona, we were already at each other. To think he is an ex-Genoa player,” Buffon added, being a famous Genoa fan.
The World Cup winner is back in action tomorrow night as Juventus take on Bayern Munich in a match that will decide their fate in the Champions League.
The Bianconeri cannot afford to lose if they are to qualify for the second round of the competition.
As mentioned above, Buffon will then go under the knife to repair the meniscus in his knee.
