Italian national football team goalkeeper Gianluigi Buffon promised on Monday that his team, after losing to the Slovenian team in the 2006 World Cup qualifying match on Sunday, could fully redeem themselves in the match against the Belarusian team, which will take place on Wednesday in Parma.
"After such losses, you always want to react accordingly," said the Turin goalkeeper to the Italian press. "In the match against Belarus, we want not just to win, but to crush the opponent, so that our fans can see what we are really capable of."
The biggest disappointment of Sunday's match was the main playmaker, who appeared for the first time in the 'squadra azzurra' after his disqualification for spitting. Buffon only said that the match against Belarus will help Totti respond to his critics with a good performance.
"I told Francesco that he must help us crush them on Wednesday, because he is great and unique in his role," said Buffon.
It is believed that the coach of the Italian national team, Marcelo Lippi, whose Italians started in the fifth qualifying group with victories over Norway and Moldova, will make significant changes in the lineup for the match against Belarus.
