It was the night between the 18th and 19th of November in 1995, Alessandro Nista and Gigi Buffon are Parma's goalkeepers and sleep in the same room the night before the Milan game. The morning after, Nevio Scala calls them and tells that "the young boy will play against Milan", a sentence the current Napoli goalkeepers coach hasn't forgotten. "I wasn't jumping for joy, but tried to digest that delusion - has told Nista to La Gazzetta dello Sport - Gigi was amazingly serene, as he was aware of his great qualities added to the unconsciousness of his age. I arrived at Parma and Buffon was already training with the first team, I immediately noticed I was in front of someone extraordinary. I saw him as a little brother, but Gigi has always been someone mature and ahead of his age. Today's conference? I wish him to take a decision that makes him happy, as he is now. The memories he'll leave is something crazy, I believe he's been the been goalkeeper ever".
