BUFFON ON… CHAMPIONS LEAGUE
Losing on penalties in 2003 was very painful, but since I was only 25, I was fairly calm because I was convinced I d win many more. That s the exuberance of youth. I was so close to winning it on that occasion; they missed three penalties in that final I saved two of them. Strange things happen. It wasn t meant to be and we weren t good enough. In sport and life, those who deserve it more probably end up getting their rewards.
BUFFON ON… MANAGEMENT
The pitch is the most beautiful part of the game; it gives you emotions which bring meaning to life. So I wouldn t like a role as [a club] coach, with the day-to-day nature of it. I wouldn t rule out a role as national coach; you d still get the emotion of the pitch but with the time and the freedom to devote to other things.
