Italian national team leader Buffon attended the Youth Planning and Strategy Conference in Milan and was interviewed.
The World Cup qualifiers will restart in September. How is the adaptation of the new Italian coach Gattuso?
He is very excited because when you hold such a position, you will naturally be emotional. Now that he has gained confidence and has ideas, he knows how to do his best in his work. This is why we have been taking turns to visit various Serie A clubs - there are still several clubs that have not been there. This is a good opportunity to connect with the club management, and it is beneficial to meet and communicate with each other during the season.
Do you have confidence?
Confidence is always there, and our work must not be lacking in confidence. Our national team is composed of excellent players and we can never lack confidence in the team. This is the most important foundation. Now we all have to work hard and show veritable performance.
The Italian national team captain Donnarumma has many transfer rumors at present. Have you ever contacted him at this special moment?
I am waiting to meet Donaruma and communicate with him in person. I know that Coach Gattuso has sent messages with him many times and they know that his future is related to his choice. In addition, Donnarumma has the power to fight for the national team.
Some young players have seen opportunities to be selected for the national team, such as Inter Milan's Froncisco Esposito
These assessments will be decided by the national team coach. We are proud of the fact that players like Froncisco Esposito deserve to be selected for their performance and great progress. But don't forget that on the front line, we already have players such as Keane Jr., Retge, Skamaka, who has returned from injury, and they are also proud players. We will welcome newcomers, but it is important to know that we already have certainty.
The new season of Serie A has begun. Who do you think is the favorite to win the championship?
Fans are more interested in this topic than football professionals, and it doesn't make sense to talk about so-called hot topics now. There are always 2 or 3 teams that look stronger at the starting line, but then it can be determined through their performance every weekend, and there are thousands of factors that may break the balance.
Tonali was injured in Newcastle's game yesterday. Do you have any news?
We know that the coach will communicate with him this morning, and then according to the medical report, we will find out whether he can be selected for the new national team.
