Juventus captain Gianluigi Buffon says Napoli have “a unique philosophy” and insists he’d play for Italy at 60 if they needed him.
The Bianconeri are in Naples on Friday for what’s being billed as a Scudetto showdown, and the goalkeeper discussed the match as he arrived for the Gran Gala del Calcio.
“The Partenopei have a unique philosophy,” Buffon told the assembled reporters.
“That means every Sunday they’re playing teams with a philosophy different from their own.”

“The Partenopei have a unique philosophy,” Buffon told the assembled reporters.
“That means every Sunday they’re playing teams with a philosophy different from their own.”
Buffon has retired from Italy duty after the failure to qualify for the 2018 World Cup, but that doesn’t mean he’s lost his desire to play for the national team.
“I’m of a certain age, so it’s right for me to take a pause. With the way I am though, if there were a total absence of goalkeepers and they asked me to come back, I’d be there even at 60.”
Finally, the veteran was asked about Gennaro Gattuso taking over at Milan.
“He’s been at Milan for so many years, I’m sure he’ll know what keys to use to improve the team.”
