Buffon: “Donnarumma is a wonderful goalkeeper. Renewal? I still have a year and a half left”

Gigi Buffon won the Golden Foot 2016 award today - a nice addition to his already-fantastic trophy case. At the award ceremony, the Juventus keeper spoke about his achievement. He also found time to speak about Gigio Donnarumma, who many think is his heir on the Italian national team: "He's a wonderful goalkeeper - ha dichiarato Buffon - He has done extraordinary things and will have a prominent career. There are other goalkeepers who deserve to be nominated for their career accomplishments. I don't need to know how others judge me, I decide whether I'm satisfied with my work or not. And against Spain, I clearly made an error. Meanwhile, against Macedonia, I responded well. But the critics are part of the game, you must accept it and respond on the pitch. My renewal? Now I'm solely focused on the pitch: I still have a year and a half left on my contract, and I will devote it to Juve with my usual passion." @GIANMARCalciO
