Sport predictions Buffon about age, Pirlo, mistakes, pandemics and happiness
Juventus goalkeeper Canluigi Buffon, 43, gave an interview to the Guardian in which he spoke on a number of topics related to his personal life and career. For his age and his return to the club
They say that when you reach a certain age, the decline in your shape happens suddenly - from one moment to the next. I don`t believe that. I feel what I feel, and the sensations inside me do not make me think that there will be a sudden collapse. I am a person who strongly believes in destiny. When Juventus offered me to return to the club, I thought, "Mother! " You never know, maybe there`s a reason for that. Something that made me have to go back. One last great story to write. If I have to be honest, it comes down to the particle of ego that is in each of us. I never imagined that I would play for so long. But such stories are beautiful, I think.

About his relationship with Andrea Pirlo
My friendship with Pirlo has a long history. He, Gennaro Gattuso and I have known each other since 1993 alongside the youth national team. When you are lucky and have the opportunity to experience an adventure like winning the World Cup, I really believe that it nourishes our relationship. It`s not about our friendship. He is not judged by world titles, but this trophy strengthened our relationship. This gave us a mutual understanding that will never be broken.
Of course, I now call Pirlo a `coach. `That was the first thing I did. In front of other people, he will always be a `coach`. It`s about roles, respect and intelligence. While we are still in the club, he has his role as well as mine. When we leave the field or go out together, then we can be Gigi and Andrea.
For advice to your younger self
Let`s just say yes, there are tips predictions by soccer reviews I would give to my younger self. But I remember what I was then and I know what I am now. I have to have my own experience. I have to make mistakes. If a person never makes a mistake and does not pay the price for it, I think he will never learn. The important thing is to make mistakes in life. It is even more important to pay for them. If you do not pay what you owe, it will remain so until the very end. Feeling ashamed is an essential part of growth. It makes you feel bad, it makes you think, it makes you look at the different nuances of the situation. When I make a mistake in a match, I feel so uncomfortable, just completely desperate. I`m used to demanding the most from myself, so if I can`t do things perfectly, I feel a huge shame.
About the coronavirus pandemic
To be honest, for me the first month of quarantine was really wonderful. First of all, the pandemic allowed me to have more time for myself. This had never happened to me in my entire life. I had the opportunity to be with my wife and children all day. I could dedicate myself to my hobbies, books and things. It was a wonderful time I didn`t know I would ever get. I made the most of it and I liked it. Of course, as time goes on, this becomes difficult.
