June 29, Italian legendary goalkeeper Gianluigi Buffon gave an interview to UEFA.
What positive takeaways can Italy get from the group stage?
Buffon: “Our goalkeepers have been excellent, the rest of the team have shown determination and courage, I also like the way the coach is working, we are trying to go further.”
What is this Italian team missing?
Buffon: “A really flowing match. But the game against Croatia was also great, it gave us a lot of confidence and passion. The equaliser at the last minute gave us adrenaline and passion, and this will fuel us to fight against Switzerland!”
The game against Switzerland will be a battle between Donnarumma and Sommer.
Buffon: “Donnarumma has been fantastic in this European Championship, he’s made some incredible saves and helped Italy a lot. Sommer has been at the top for the past few years, he’s one of the best in the world.”
“This European Championship is not just about them two, there are a lot of great goalkeepers, I like the one from Georgia (Mamardashvili), and the one from Croatia (Livakovic), of course, there are some old acquaintances, like Neuer.”
“But if you ask me to choose, I would still choose Donnarumma, a million times over.”
