Receives the first market value
Almost 30 years after Gianluigi Buffon’s debut in the Italian football Oberhaus, his son Louis completed his first game in series B for AC Pisa. In the 2: 3 in the top game against the third in the table, the 17 -year -old offensive player was substituted shortly before the end. It is not only the position that distinguishes him from his father, because he could also play for another national team.
Buffon actually runs in Primavera 2, the second highest youth league in Italy, for the U19 Pisas. There he scored six goals in 20 missions and commutes between the position on the left and the storm tip. As early as mid -February, the Turin native was 1-1 against Cesena in the squad, but he was denied. Against Specia Calcio, he was substituted in the 84th minute, but could no longer avert the defeat. As a result of his professional debut, Buffon got its first market value of 700,000 euros.
Like his father Gianluigi, Louis debut at the age of 17. With 658 missions in Serie A for Parma and Juventus, Buffon Senior is a record player of the league. In addition, no one wore the Italian national team’s jersey more often-he stood on the square for the Squadra Azzurra 176 times and became world champion in 2006.
It is uncertain whether Buffon Junior will also appear for Italy one day, because in addition to the Italian, he also has Czech citizenship because his mother comes from the Czech Republic. The teenager recently received an invitation to the Czech U18 national team who will take on the upcoming international game period against England, Portugal and France. Even after use in these games, a change of association would still be possible, so that it is not yet off the table for Italy.
