Marco Storari believes Gigi Buffon is still the best goalkeeper in the world, and discusses Juventus’ aims.
The former Genoa man is the backup to Buffon at Juventus, and still sees the Italy captain as the world’s best.
“I think a goalkeeper also needs to be technically strong and from this point of view Gigi remains number one as far as I’m concerned,” Storari told Sky.

“People speak a lot about about Neuer, who is a great goalkeeper and has exceptional physical qualities, but for the characteristics required by those who play in our position I think Gigi is the best.
“Other goalkeepers I like? In Italy there are many emerging youngsters who could carve out an important future for themselves.”
The 38-year-old also evaluated the Bianconeri’s aims for the season, and admits the Coppa Italia is a personal priority.
“Once again this season began as a head-to-head fight with Roma [in Serie A], and as the games have gone by we’ve managed to accumulate a healthy lead.
“There have also been a few slip-ups from the chasing pack, but I think a lot of it is down to how well we’ve performed.
“Europe? We enjoyed a decent group stage and an excellent last 16, in both legs, against Borussia, knowing that we were a strong side and capable of getting through to the next round.Nothing’s changed with respect to our other campaigns, because we’ve always tackled the Champions League with the desire to win and perform well.
The difference lies in the results we’re getting.
“As for the Coppa Italia, We know we’ll be lining up against a side in great form [Fiorentina].
“Two mistakes cost us the first leg and now we want to overturn the scoreline, because the Coppa Italia is a target we’ve missed out on for many years.
“If we were ever able to win the Coppa Italia it would be extra special for me as it’s a competition I start in.”
