After the draw for the European Championships, Gianluigi Buffon, the leader of the Italian national team, was interviewed by TuttomercatoWeb.
Buffon said: "Of course it's a smile because first of all we've solved the problem of qualifying, which is already good. ”
I think we're going to have a really good group stage and it's going to give the players, all of us and the fans a huge inspire. We may not be very happy with the other teams in the group stage, but I believe that even for the other teams, drawing Italy will not make them happy. ”
Buffon said: "I have to thank the President of the Football Association and the Football Association for giving me this opportunity, which is an important first step in trying to become a manager, a job where I can devote my energy to the cause that I think is most suitable, trying to optimize the work and value of everyone. ”
"Well, memories are also part of life, but they have to be put on hold because you have to focus on the present and the future, so I have to be honest, I've been retired for six months and sometimes I wonder if I've ever been a footballer because I'm removing everything very easily because I'm excited about the future," Buffon said. ”
