Buffon: '42 years as a happy person'

Buffon has played seven games in Serie A this term and is still going strong since his first season at Parma in 1995-96.

He revealed that his increasing age is only something “inevitable” and hopes to continue to play if he feels good enough.

“After a certain age, there aren’t any big parties, but it’s something inevitable and must always be accepted with a smile and satisfaction,” Buffon told Sky Sport Italia. “It’s 42 years of being a player, having good performances and being a happy person. I’ll see when I arrive in March or April, if there won’t be a complete collapse, I am open to all ideas. The most important thing is to remain consistent in what I’m doing and how it makes me feel".
