Danilo reveals Buffon advice for Juventus Coppa Italia Final | OneFootball

Juventus captain Danilo reveals the advice he received from legend Gigi Buffon the morning of the Coppa Italia Final against Atalanta. ‘Difficult moments teach you things.’

The Bianconeri were arguably the underdogs going into the clash at the Stadio Olimpico on Wednesday evening.

However, they took an early lead through Dusan Vlahovic and held on to that 1-0 result for the full match, as Ademola Lookman and Fabio Miretti rattled the frame of the goal, while Vlahovic had another narrowly ruled offside.

“Difficult moments teach you things,” Danilo told Sport Mediaset.

“We had many ups and downs this season, many tough moments, as just a couple of days ago we were held to a disappointing draw at the Stadium by Salernitana, which really let our fans down.

“However, today we did well to win the Coppa and we’re returning home with a new trophy to add to our museum.”

Danilo sought advice from ex-Juventus legend

The Brazilian received some special advice from Juve legend Buffon, who is now a member of Luciano Spalletti’s staff in the Italy squad.

“I spoke to Buffon this morning, as he is my idol in football. He talked to me about a healthy touch of madness, that in these matches what happened before and what happens after does not matter. The lads showed courage.”

There was also controversy, as coach Max Allegri was sent off for dissent in stoppages, ripping off his jacket, tie and almost his shirt too, while screaming at the fourth official.

After the final whistle, during the celebrations, Allegri then seemed to make a ‘go away’ gesture towards director Cristiano Giuntoli. Does Danilo know what happened?

“I am the captain. I have nothing to do with the rest of it and I saw nothing.”
