Italy captain Gianluigi Buffon has criticised Roma’s Francesco Totti for his comments that Juventus ‘should have their own League’.
The Giallorossi captain hit out at the Bianconeri following their 3-2 win in Week 6, which saw the capital club angered by some refereeing calls.
For his Juve counterpart, there is no sympathy in why those statements may have been made.
“Did I feel for Totti after Juve-Roma? I didn’t feel for him, I’m not interested in controversy when the game is over,” Buffon told RAI Sport.
“Throughout my career I’ve won a lot, but I’ve also lost a lot. I finished third, fourth, and then seventh for two consecutive years, but I don’t think you’ve ever seen Buffon doing interviews in which he railed against someone or made inferences which aren’t good for anyone or for the image of our game.”
Buffon, who is expected to win his 145th Italy cap against Malta tonight, also spoke about Mario Balotelli’s exclusion from Antonio Conte’s first two Italy squads.
“He could return to the side. Mario is still young, and has years still ahead of him in his career.
“Not only that, I don’t think that Conte has ever said that Mario will never be called up.”
