Buffon suffers with statistics!!!

in #sports7 years ago

Greetings to the great community of steemit, today I come to inform you about one of the goalkeepers with more presence in the series A of Italy, but that this has few games to overcome the record of more presences in the series A.

Gianluigi Buffon lives an unfortunate stat after suffering a muscle injury in his calf, the historic Juventus goalkeeper is 18 games to equal Paolo Maldini as the player with more presence in the history of Serie A, with 17 games remaining and with a retirement announcement at the end of the season.

Buffon has not played a game since he started on December 1 against Napoli and the injury has left him with less margin. This, added to his absence against Genoa on January 22, left the goalkeeper unable to fulfill his announcement of retirement and to be able to match Maldini.

Paolo Maldini played 647 times in Serie A since his debut in 1984 until his retirement in 2009. On the other hand, Buffon has played 629 games and subtracted 17 dates from Serie A and although Gigi plays all the games, it would still be short.

The own Buffon announced in two occasions that would retire if Juventus does not leave champion of Champions League, although if it manages to obtain by last and only time the European match, it will extend six months its permanence to dispute the Club World Cup and, perhaps, those two parties to overcome Paolo.

Maldini himself spoke with the Gazzetta dello Sport in Italy and acknowledged that he would be honored to have one of the best archers in history on a list full of great cracks. Third is Francesco Totti with 619 and fourth Javier Zanetti with 615 presences.

"Buffon is only 40 years old? Impossible ... jokes aside, he has not officially announced if it's going to stop. If he does not break my record, I'll be happy. But if he does, I would be honored that he was the only one to beat me. He is the greatest goalkeeper of the last 30 years, "explained the eternal captain of Milan at Gazzetta dello Sport.
