Player Talk : Gigi Buffon


Buffon Happy With Juventus Form

Juventus goalkeeper Gianluigi Buffon believes the team are doing well, and is not perturbed by the eight-point difference between them and league-leaders Inter.

The Bianconeri were expected to struggle this campaign following their post-Calciopoli promotion from Serie B.

However the club has performed admirably and currently sit in third position in the table.

Despite their excellent form they have still been unable to keep up with the relentless pace set by leaders Inter, who are already eight points ahead of them.

“Being eight points back from Inter can be read in two ways,” Buffon told Tuttosport.

“In a normal year, we would already be disappointed and be dismissing the season as a failure and in December we would be concentrating on next year.

“However, this is not a normal year as we are newly promoted and we have the potential to return to the highest level.

“We are third in the table and we want to stay there or better.”

Buffon believes that Juventus are more than capable of finishing in the top-four and qualifying for next season’s Champions League.

“Champions League qualification is more than possible and it would be such a good achievement after the pre-season predictions,” the 29-year-old insisted.

“What sets us apart from other sides is the fact that we are still humble and determined.”
