If life was offering this opportunity to him, there must still be something left for him to discover, another landmark to achieve.įor Chiesa the decision was simpler. He returned to Juventus for the same reason he left to begin with: because he believes in fate. There was no obvious route by which their paths should have crossed. Chiesa was still establishing himself at Fiorentina. It can happen to concede after 10 and a half clean sheets in Serie A.Who could even have imagined it two years ago? Buffon was playing for Paris Saint-Germain, after saying an emotional farewell to Juventus in 2018. "After the Maxi Lopez goal we continued playing and Torino sat back to wait, so it didn't really change anything. "I never usually talk about referees and I think two incidents do not take away from the good things we did in this game. "I understand they were upset, as we were after Wednesday in the Champions League," Allegri said of Torino's complaints. "The incidents were so incredibly obvious that I have to wonder how on earth the referee didn't see them? How is it possible that all this can happen?"īut Juve boss Max Allegri said his team were still superior despite the questionable incidents.
"The moment you lose a derby at the 94th minute, you can't complain, but today it is frankly difficult to stand here and pretend nothing happened. "With all due respect for Juventus, an extraordinary team, but today I will not accept this situation. Torino coach Giampiero Ventura was angry that Maxi Lopez's potential equaliser was ruled offside and said both Alex Sandro and Leonardo Bonucci should have been sent off. When you are happy in your home life, you can push yourself further professionally." "At the age of 38 I still think I can express myself at a high level and that is thanks to my family, everyone from my parents and sisters to partner and children. It's a reward because the more you think about the team, the more you are likely to get rewarded as an individual. "In all honesty, I didn't think about individual records, as I always saw myself as a team man, but then I realised it's wonderful too. You kept asking me about it in interviews after three or four games that I hadn't conceded, as if that was somehow odd!
"I started to think we could break this record in Bergamo against Atalanta, two Sundays ago. They worked their socks off to block every avenue and protect me. I was also fortunate to achieve it, because my teammates stopped the opposition from creating chances. "I am happy to play in this team and the record belongs to Juventus, not me. "Once the four minutes had passed and the record was broken, I was mainly focused on the game and ensuring we recovered from the heavy blow in Munich," he said, referring to this week's Champions League defeat. Juventus eventually won 4-1, but the 38-year-old Buffon said he considered the feat a team record, not an individual one. In the fourth minute against Torino on Sunday, Buffon broke Sebastiano Rossi's 22-year-old record of 929 minutes and stayed unbeaten until 974 minutes, when Andrea Belotti's penalty ended the streak. Gigi Buffon gave all credit to his teammates after setting the Serie A goalkeeping record for consecutive minutes played without conceding. Gigi Buffon did not concede a goal for more than 10 games, setting a Serie A record for total minutes on Sunday.
