Buffon apologises to fans

Buffon apologises to fans
Monday 9 June, 2008

Gianluigi Buffon has apologised to all the Italy fans after what he dubbed “one of the worst performances in my Italy career.”

The Azzurri got off to a disastrous start at Euro 2008 by losing 3-0 to Holland and, although Coach Roberto Donadoni tried to minimise the extent of the problems, his goalkeeper did not agree.

“I hope we can use this as a starting point. It was one of the worst performances since I have been in the Nazionale and Holland legitimised their victory with a good game,” said the captain.

“I have spoken to all the players and we all agreed to apologise to the Italy fans. We honestly didn’t expect this to happen.”

There was controversy and anger in the first half when Ruud Van Nistelrooy opened the scoring in an offside position, but Buffon refused to look for excuses.

“It’s true Van Nistelrooy was offside, but we cannot clutch at straws during a game that was so obviously won by Holland.

“We can only apologise to the supporters for all that happened tonight and promise to do better against Romania and France.”

Holland had not beaten Italy in 30 years.
