Enough Juve. Gigi Buffon he closes with the black and whites, without second thoughts, as happened the other time, when he left for PSG but then returned. This time it won't be like this the Juventus goalkeeper's farewell to Juve it's a bittersweet goodbye. "I'm leaving Juve in June," Buffon said, but added: "Either I quit or I find another team“. It is this second clarification that makes it clear that the goalkeeper hasn't lived very well in the last year and not only because Juve are no longer leaders on the pitch, but also because, even without making any demands, Buffon probably expected Andrea Pirlo to employ him more, above all in consideration of the deterioration in form of the starting goalkeeper, the Polish Szczesny, who has many decisive goals conceded by the Bianconeri in the league and in the Champions League on his conscience.
With Buffon it is another piece of the old black and white guard who is leaving and another sign of the malaise which, after nine straight championships won, this year the air you breathe at Juve is heavy, above all due to the uncertainty and mistakes of the management, as well as the young coach. Last year President Agnelli made it clear to Buffon that, once his boots were hung up, he would co-opt him among the company's executives, but the goalkeeper's words make no mention of this possibility. And after Buffon he could leave another big shot of the old guard like Chiellini.
“My future – Buffon said – is clear and outlined. This year this beautiful and very long experience with Juve will end definitively. Either I stop playing or, if I find a situation that stimulates me to play or have a different life experience, I take it into consideration. I think I gave everything to Juve and I received everything and you can't do more than that. We have reached the end of a cycle and it is right that one of us removes the disturbance”.
