Gianluigi Buffon is unfazed by Juventus’ schedule in April – “we’re playing a lot, but this is what we work for”.
The Bianconeri face Napoli twice in the next week, before taking on Barcelona in the Champions League on April 11 and 19.
“We’re playing a lot, but this is what we work for,” Buffon told reporters after a Head & Shoulders event.
“We have nine months of work behind us. This is the best part, and we want to go through it as protagonists.
Gianluigi Buffon is unfazed by Juventus’ schedule in April – “we’re playing a lot, but this is what we work for”.

“We’re playing a lot, but this is what we work for,” Buffon told reporters after a Head & Shoulders event.
“We have nine months of work behind us. This is the best part, and we want to go through it as protagonists.
“Napoli? We go there as others go there, there’s nothing to complain about. If we’re better then we’ll win.
“As for Barcelona, there’s the hope of fighting to the end. We had the luck and the skill to earn these two matches.
“If we go out or we go through, we’ll look at and accept the two outcomes.”
There was controversy around Andrea Barzagli this week, as the centre-back left the Italy squad for personal reasons before being pictured in a Riccione nightclub, though the DJ who took the photo later confirmed “Andrea was having dinner with his wife and their children”.
“Barzagli didn’t leave the training camp because of a stomach ache or a broken leg, but for personal problems.
“If he went out for dinner then that’s a good thing.”
Following the event, the goalkeeper also spoke to Sky about this weekend’s Serie A trip to Napoli.
“We’ve been in a good period of success in the run-up to this game,” Buffon said.
“We’ll be facing a Napoli who are very formidable as a team and as a rival. We’ll be very enthusiastic, but with the proper attention a team like Napoli deserve to be shown.”
