G.Buffon: I can only be a reserve player at "Juventus" club

Last summer, goalkeeper Gianluigi Buffon unexpectedly returned to Turin's "Juventus" team, and talked about the motives behind this decision. According to the 41-year-old Italian, he could not accept the role of a backup player at PSG team. "I realized that the only club where I could accept sitting on the bench is "Juventus". I am glad to have returned to the familiar jersey, I can communicate with friends, fans, and managers - people with whom I have experienced so many moments both on the field and beyond", - said G.Buffon. He also commented on the suggestion of Italy's national team head coach Roberto Mancini to allow the veteran to play farewell game in the future. "I thank the coach who has always treated me well. If the federation and Mancini do not give up on this idea, I will accept it when I decide about the end of my career."
