Gianluigi Buffon spoke with Mediaset Premium on the controversies of Juventus-Inter a few weeks back and more recently Juventus-Napoli: “I’ve often found that questions from journalists or articles in the media are designed to create bad feeling or tense situations, to get under the skin of fans. In this case, no, the opposite happened. The media has been very good at relieving tension and we insiders must examine our own conscience. We need to do that because I’ve seen interviews which made me feel gruesome, creating controversies out of things which were almost non-existent. I can understand controversy over things which are true, but with these things you need to shut up, go home and improve. If you want to create non-existent incidents and wave the white handkerchiefs, that means you’re completely out of order and I can’t appreciate or respect you.”
