1BSPORTS 1B Sports June 10th News Italian national team leader Buffon was interviewed by Sky Sports.
Buffon talks about Spalletti: “No doubt if I were to write a book about Spalletti, I would simply call it a man because he was such a man, and we were facing a man who deserves our respect from beginning to end, just as he respected us as much as he respected us. We decided to act with maximum transparency because we knew we were dealing with a special person. That’s why we took this risk because we’re sure it was the right thing to do. I firmly believe that even if we make a hundred choices, we’ll make the same decision because when you face him, you just have to tell him the truth. There’s no need to make up fictional stories, and there’s no need to be vague, and I’m very similar to him at this point.”
“I used to be a player, and I know in my career people would tell me some half-truth words that would be mitigated. And my response was, I’m Buffon, and you guys can tell me the truth directly. This is the way we prefer. So we got together and told the truth. His focus is only on the team, the game and the win. His speech before the game was perfect and first-class, and that’s because he’s a first-class guy. “
“We’ve agreed before, and that’s how things have evolved. We’ve all been at the meeting and not like some reports say, the chairman is in a certain buffet area and others are in different rooms. No, we’re all with Spaletti, which is right, and he loves to experience everything in person. We’re there for the time being, but we’re completely in sync. The only thing we need to do now is focus and hope the players I can give the coach a final gift, but the most important thing is to give these fans a gift. I was deeply moved by the enthusiasm and unconditional support of the fans, especially after that game a few days ago. This should not be taken for granted because it is really not.”
“I hope the guys have reflected on this, and I believe they did. But the most important thing is to give the right response on the court. They express themselves in their language on the court and have to give the response we all expect. “
Ranieli is the first choice to take over as the head coach? “This is something the chairman needs to deal with. My job is to work with the team and the coaches, do something well and play to the best of everyone. So far, I don’t think I’ve done my job well, so now may be the time for me to do better.”
