is buffon in the same class as zoff? (1 Viewer)

[HelterSkelter]

i wasnt even born when italy won the 1982 worldcup,so i never saw zoff play and i havent seen footage of him either.but obviously,ive heard a lot about how good he was etc.
this discussion might as well be for the elders over here,
either way,is gigi as good as zoff?is he better than zoff? or are they at the same level?

Are you serious? It is injustice to put Zoff on the same sentence as Buffon. Buffon is a Rubens, and Zoff a mere Caravaggio.

 

[HelterSkelter]

ive never seen zoff play so i cant pass a judgement.

 

[Tifoso]

Buffon is the best keeper in the world. Period.

 

[Azzurri7]

Indeed. He's not like the Legendary Zoff YET....But I'm sure he'll be better...

Anything could happen in the next 15 years. Buffon is not at the level of Zoff's peak right now.... however if Buffon can avoid any major setbacks in the future, ur looking at the greatest goalkeeper ever to exist..

Agreed.

zoff retired at 40,buffon is 27,so he's got a long way to go i suppose.

 

[Dr-Juve]

as a goalkeeper , i think buffon is better

as a leader , Dino , no doubts

sometimes all what u need is a good leader specially if u have a rock solid defence line like juve

And if you compare girlfriends, Buffon gets the edge hands-down.

Buffon should make himself a legend!

 

[Mr. Gol]

Buffon has been the top keeper in the world for four years now, but he needs to stay that for the next four if he wants to reach the same level as Zoff. The key to being a legendary player is to be the world's best for many many years.

gigi is the BEST.

end of story

buffon is a great keeper defiently the best in the world when he is on form but he is not a legend yet, zoff is a legend winning the 1982 world cup.

 

[HelterSkelter]

i agree.the world cup victory can turn a good player into a great one.

Probably the only aspect where Buffon stands a chance.

Seriously though, it's way to early for a thread like this.

 

[HelterSkelter]

ive heard that zoff was very suspect against dealing with crosses.that was his biggest weakeness.
is this true?

 

[simpson-juvefan]

I think to make Buffon a legend he has to win major Trophys like the CL or World Cup!
