The Juventus goalkeeper Gianluigi Buffon cited the reason why he decided to stay at the club even after being sent to Serie B in the 2006/07 season because of Calciopoli, which shook Italian football. At that time, the Old Lady was abandoned by players such as Zlatan Ibrahimovic, Emerson, Gianluca Zambrotta, Patrick Vieira, Adrian Mutu, Fabio Cannavaro, and Lilian Thuram. There were also players, however, who decided to continue to wear the black-and-white T-shirt such as the legendary guard and another club by football betting partners icon - the striker Alessandro Del Piero.
'In a world full of words, it was an opportunity to give a lesson to all boys who have a passion for football. You can only give this lesson if you are the first to give up something important, and I have given up many things: I was 28 and in the middle of my career. I had a chance at the Golden Ball. With anoth er solution, things would be different, but I was sure that if I behaved well and was generous, my life would pay off with everything. I am almost 42-year-old now and continue to be here thanks to a choice I made 14 years ago!', said Buffon during last night`s award ceremony for the Anelli family, who owns the Torino club.
