Dino Zoff admits “Gianluigi Buffon’s experience is important” for Italy but “I say to give space to young people in every position”.
The goalkeeper is expected to be called-up for the March friendlies with Argentina and England, having already been capped 175 times by his country.
While interim CT Luigi Di Biagio has stated it would only be for “two or three games”, some have suggested it’s time for the legendary ‘keeper to step aside.

While interim CT Luigi Di Biagio has stated it would only be for “two or three games”, some have suggested it’s time for the legendary ‘keeper to step aside.
“I say to give space to young people in every position,” Zoff told RMC Sport.
“Of course Buffon’s experience is important, helpful, but we need to start seeing things in perspective, not just in goal but in every position on the pitch.”
