Buffon Full Of Praise For Juve Babies


Buffon Full Of Praise For Juve Babies

Juventus goalkeeper Gianluigi Buffon has hailed the Bianconeri’s array of young stars and he believes they will all show their mettle and become great footballers.

The Old Lady has always tried to ensure that a mixture of both youth and experience graced the side and this season the team has a number of young stars all keen on showing their worth.

Paolo De Ceglie, Sebastian Giovinco, Claudio Marchisio and Albin Ekdal are all hungry to show Claudio Ranieri what they can do and Buffon is sure all the youngsters will do well this term.

“Age doesn’t matter, I would know as I made my debut when I was just 17,” Buffon told La Gazzetta Dello Sport.

“The youngsters look good in training but then you have to see what they are capable of during a game.

“Our players have great qualities, De Ceglie, Giovinco, Marchisio are players we all knew about and now we are also discovering the qualities behind Ekdal.”

Club president Giovanni Cobolli Gigli has always claimed the way forward was to focus on youth and it seems as if the chief is keeping his word.

The Bianconeri will be hoping their stars shine as they attempt to challenge for both the Scudetto and Champions League next season.
