Dino Zoff “wouldn’t mind at all” if Juventus goalkeeper Gigi Buffon beats his clean sheet record.
Zoff is currently second in terms of minutes without conceding a Serie A goal with 903, with Sebastiano Rossi out in front on 929.
Sunday’s 2-0 win over Bologna saw Buffon close to within 93 minutes of the all-time record, meaning he could set a new record with a clean sheet against Sassuolo on Friday.
“Records are made to be broken,” former Bianconeri ‘keeper Zoff told Gianluca Di Marzio’s website.

“Records are made to be broken,” former Bianconeri ‘keeper Zoff told Gianluca Di Marzio’s website.
“Mine was already improved by Sebastiano Rossi. Of course, we know today that Buffon could reach me and set a new record and I wouldn’t mind at all.
“He was number one in the world and is currently among the best.
“I hope Gigi doesn’t concede, not just for this list but because going unbeaten would also help him to a fifth Scudetto in a row which would be very important for him.”
After a poor start to the season, the Old Lady are back on top of Serie A, but Zoff doesn’t think the race for the title is over yet.
“Juventus have a great chance, they have something more than Napoli but nothing can be taken for granted, not least because the Azzurri won’t give an inch.
“The credit for the comeback is divided equally between Allegri, the players and the club which was good at instilling confidence and never called the Coach into question.
“I think it’ll be more difficult in the Champions League though. Bayern [Munich] at home are a tough nut to crack, and they showed in Turin that they’re very strong.
“In the Champions League the pride which characterised the climb back up the League won’t be enough, they’ll need something more.”
