The former Juve and Italy goalkeeper told an anecdote from his youth: “An imperfection that makes me human”
An interview that smacks of confession on the occasion of “Campioni sotto le stelle”, in Biella. Thus Gigi Buffon, world champion and 46-year-old head of the Italian delegation, recounted the most important moments of his life and career, including a youthful sin, when he was an 18-year-old talent, of which he is now not proud. “I’ve made a lot of mistakes, especially when I was young – said the former Juventus, Parma and PSG goalkeeper -. What I’m least proud of is that I bought my diploma, I wouldn’t do it again”. A truth that he had not yet told and which today, as a father and sportsman, makes him reflect: “I wouldn’t do it again because there is a note of incorrectness, it’s like a shortcut and I have never been one for shortcuts” . A sin that he hopes will be forgiven: “I like to think that my imperfection gives others an idea of humanity and makes me close to people.”
