Gianluigi Buffon may have turned 36 today but that hardly means he is nearing the end of his career. "Gigi has been at Juve for 13 years and has seen and done so much, but even though he has won 6 Scudetti, a serie B Championship and 4 Supercups with Juve there is still one trophy that eludes him- The Champions League, and like I said before, his career is far from over, so he could still win this.
Buffon has the maturity and experience of winning that he is such an inspiration to all around him and I believe that his leadership qualities and incredible modesty has led to Juventus having such a solid defence. He is not just a goalkeeper, he is a mentor, as I watch the game he is constantly directing and motivating his team mates like a true captain. If on the rare occasion that he makes a mistake he has the maturity to take the punishment like a man and not blame the referee
like he did in the game against lazio. Where everyne thought his sending off was a little harsh, he knew the ref was just doing his job, and even though he wont be in the game against Inter on Sunday, we all know his mere presence can have an effect on the game.
Happy 36th Birthday Gigi!
