Until a few days ago it was certain that I would stop playing. Interesting proposals have now arrived."The most exciting proposal for my career off the pitch has come from the president. Next week, after a few days to reflect, I shall make up my mind and follow my best instincts."I'm convinced that Juventus needs to plan for the future and, sbobet asian as someone who has spent many years as a player and several as club captain, I am the first to understand that."Continuing as his club and country's No. 1 into his forties, Buffon expressed his pride at remaining at the top of his game for so long."A great gratification, given by the feeling of this closeness to the club, my companions, and the people who are around me," was how he described his emotional state.
