Buffon's sister: "It's not time for farewell yet, I can see he still has the will to continue"

Retiring or continue? This has been the question that accompanied Buffon's season, which culminated in one more success in his career. The final answer could arrive tomorrow, at a press conference in which the bianconero goalkeeper will announce his future. The farewell is probable, but not obvious. Especially for him as he still has the desire to fight in the eyes, as told by Gigi's sister, Veronica, who in an interview with Tuttosport analyzed what could be Buffon's last weeks as a player: "I have not thought about it yet, because the more I see him on the pitch the less I look at him like a player on his way to retire. I was a volleyball player and at 27 I had a thousand reasons for wanting to quit, but I wonder what the reason Gigi would have to do it. He's 40, so what? We talk about the goalkeeper protagonist of the seventh consecutive championship won by Juventus and the fourth Italian Cup. And in the Champions League, at the Bernabeu, he did a fantastic performance. Gigi is a UNESCO heritage and trust me that I have practiced high-level sports. For heaven's sake, I'm his sister, I love him very much and I'm biased, but I really do not think it's time for farewell. Gigi's eyes do not give me the feeling that he wants to stop. I told him so many times, but Gigi is a good guy, he laughs and almost always replies: "Maybe it's better this way". As a sister, and a former sportswoman, I wanted to hear "I stop because I do not have any more". But it's not like this".

The desire is still there, as there has always been. Like when Juventus was relegated to Serie B and Buffon's will was to remain, as revealed by his sister with a background: "We were at sea, we learn together the relegation of Juventus, so I look at Gigi and I said: "Where are you going next year?". He told me: "I will stay there". I thought he was crazy, but thinking about it I was not amazed, my brother is like that: a simple boy, who has feelings. He then gave the same answer to the sporting director Alessio Secco and I assure you that Gigi, fresh world champion, could have gone to play anywhere. My brother always gave his all for Juventus and for the National team, so I was disappointed when I heard the controversy over his last two friendlies with Italy ".
