New PSG signing Gianluigi Buffon
told a press conference Monday "at the age of 40, I can show I'm
still great, and I will show it".
"I've landed in Paris with the enthusiasm of a boy," said the
Juventus great.
"It's true that your ID card doesn't lie, but the energy is
there," said the Italy legend, who retired from national duty
when the Azzurri failed to make the World Cup.
Buffon said that he felt the "magic energy of Paris".
"I'm extremely excited by this new adventure," said the
former Italy and Juve skipper.
"There's a special energy, which I felt straight away, I
don't know if it's the atmosphere, the magic of Paris. Thanks
for all this," he said in French.
Buffon has joined PSG after a legendary career at Juve.
He is on a one-year contract with an option for another year.
In other remarks, Buffon said France was the World Cup
favourite now that Brazil had been eliminated.
