Blog of football stats



On the eve of his last match advised by contacts with football stats with Juventus, Captain Canluigi Buffon touched the fans in a social network. The goalkeeper separates with his favorite club, where he spent the last 17 years or more exactly 6111 days.

Here`s what he wrote:

6111 days. 6111 moment of real passion. Joy, tears, losses and victories. Thank you all. You did so that every moment with Juventus` shirt was special. This shirt became like a second skin I wore, loved and respected, valued and protected without being afraid because it was forever part of me. My journey is coming to an end. I close the book we all wrote together. Emotions are too much, they over-fill me. I start a new book in my life, this is inevitable. Juve is bigger than any individual player and will continue to write significant pages in his book that will not end. The DNA of this club is unique and incomparable with nothing - it is shocking and unique. Juve is my family and home. He gave me more than I gave him. I came to the Juventus stadium by bike. I was very young. I want to go so that I can enjoy every moment, feel the joys and disappointments again. I want to realize that I will forever remain connected with the place I call my home. Forever. I want to congratulate the teammates and friends who will forever remain my brothers.

Forever yours, Canluigi Buffon



Still, there is no clarity as to where the Italian will go - whether he will continue to play for another team, or end his career and take some leadership.
