Rome, Dec 24 (LaPresse) – ‘I have great respect for Thiago and I am very confident about what he is building. When you intervene so deeply you need time. Motta is a meticulous coach, prepared, used to certain levels: I know him as a team-mate, they all have to give him a hand’. Thus the goalkeeper world champion in 2006 and former Juventus pillar, Gigi Buffon, in an interview with La Stampa, talking about the departure of the new Juventus coach Thiago Motta. ‘At the time of Lippi there was the move to Foggia: away with the trident and the season took off,' Buffon recalls, who on the comparisons between Motta and former coach Massimiliano Allegri clarifies: ’Let's not joke: enough with the comparison between Motta and Allegri, it is neither in heaven nor on earth. One has won a lot, Thiago is starting now, those who compare them are driven by the desire to annoy the environment'.
