Louis Thomas Buffon, son of legendary Juventus goalkeeper Gianluigi Buffon and Alena Seredova, spoke to the Czech Football Federation's website after receiving his second call-up to the Czech Republic Under-18 team:
WORDS – "I was born and raised in Italy, but I believe that to be a 100% professional and do my job to the best of my ability, every match must be important to me, whether it’s against Italy or any other national team. I was very happy and also curious to experience a different football culture. I talked to my family, and together we decided that playing for the Czech Republic would be the best choice for my football career and development as a player. My mother was obviously very happy. But my father was also excited because it was my first national team call-up. I don’t speak Czech very well yet, but as soon as I found out I could come here, I started learning it. I dedicate about 10 minutes a day to it."
