One has won a lot, Thiago is just starting out. Anyone who compares them is driven by a desire to upset the club,\u201d Buffon said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>He continued: \u201cI have great respect for Thiago, and I\u2019m very confident about what he\u2019s building. When you change things so deeply, it takes time. Motta is meticulous and well-prepared, accustomed to certain levels as a coach.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Buffon went on to speak about the success of Serie A as a division, and why clubs like Atalanta are the model to follow.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cOur football has changed. After the English Premier League, we are right behind. I think of a cultural revolution of many coached, now we enjoy watching Serie A matches.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>And, on Atalanta, he added: \u201cThey are a team that is good for everyone. I am not surprise, because you can\u2019t improvise if you want to reach certain levels in football. The Percassi family has had a far-sighted project that has been going on for quite some time.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Juventus and Italy legend Gianluigi Buffon has called for supporters and journalists to stop comparing the feats of<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":103,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-102","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-news"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/mktynews.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/102","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/mktynews.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/mktynews.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mktynews.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mktynews.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=102"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/mktynews.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/102\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":104,"href":"https:\/\/mktynews.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/102\/revisions\/104"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mktynews.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/103"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/mktynews.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=102"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mktynews.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=102"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mktynews.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=102"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
