Buffon: Gattuso lacks some details in coaching the national team, we will make the best choice

In the second round of the group stage of the U21 European Cup Group A group stage held this morning, the Italian U21 team defeated the Slovakia U21 team 1-0, achieving two consecutive victories. Italian team leader Buffon was interviewed after the game.

At the last moment of this game, the Italian U21 team encountered many difficulties

In this level of game, it is always possible to encounter difficulties. But when you finally get a win, you will feel even better.

You ask young players to have a sense of belonging to the national team. What answers did you get after tonight’s game?

I asked them to show the characteristics of Italy, because it is important to see this from the outside. We work together as a united team.

There are reports that Gattuso is about to coach the Italian national team. Can you confirm this?

We are working on this, but there are still some details. We've had some busy days, but I think we ended up making the best choice.

What can this U21 team bring to the Italian national team? In what ways should Italy start over?

In difficult times, we must start over from now on and let all those who are close to the team work hard to take responsibility. Furthermore, it is most important to avoid any behavior that does not fit the Italian image. Even if they are losing, there are differences in the way they lose.

Do you think the cooperation of the club is very important in the process of restarting the national team?

This is our goal. But the most basic thing is the players' wishes. In my career as a player, I have experienced a situation with many teammates: Although it is best to take a break, our sense of belonging to the national team is beyond everything.

What do you think of Italian U21 goalkeeper Desplanches?

I really liked his performance in tonight's game and he was very good. He has everything he needs to be a strong goalkeeper, he can have a great career, he just needs to prove himself in top games.
