Buffon: No More Mistakes Please
Gianluigi Buffon says that Juventus must cut out the errors if they want to challenge for the Scudetto next season.
The Bianconeri’s slim chances of winning this season’s championship were all but ended last night when they lost 3-2 at Palermo.
In truth the scoreline was a little harsh on Juve, and coach Claudio Ranieri said after the game that Palermo had scored on all of their only three shots of the night.
"These were three goals that were unstoppable,” Buffon told Tuttosport.
“Sometimes, however, a goalkeeper must do something, a movement to make shots that seem unstoppable, actually preventable.”
There have been a number of occasions this season when Juve have been slow out of the traps, and this happened again last night when they fell 2-0 behind.
Buffon says that this is something that needs to be corrected if they want to challenge for the title next season.
“Juve deserved at least a draw. Unfortunately, once again, we did not react until our opponents scored, in this case two goals,” said the 30-year-old.
“They are mistakes that, this year, as we are only going for third or fourth, may not be decisive.
“But next season, when our objective will be higher, we cannot afford this irresponsibility.”
