Commentator: The son of Buffon chose to play for the Czech Republic because it was better for his career development

November 22 News Recently, European football broadcaster Brassel accepted an interview with talkSPORT. He explained why the son of legendary Italian goalkeeper Buffon chose to play for the Czech Republic.

The 17-year-old Louis Buffon was born in Turin when his father was writing legends at Juventus. However, he did not choose to represent Italy, the country where he was born and raised, but the Czech Republic, his mother's home country. Brasseur said: "His mother is Czech, and after discussion as a family, they decided that from the perspective of career development, it would be better to choose the Czech Republic."

Brassell also mentioned that this phenomenon is not uncommon in the football world in recent years, and many descendants or siblings of famous players are trying to keep a certain distance from their relatives. For example, Job Bellingham chose not to use "Bellingham" as his name on his jersey, but instead used "Job."

In addition, Brasseur believes that there were other factors in Louis Buffon's career that helped him distance himself from his father's influence. Firstly, although his father is probably one of the greatest goalkeepers in history, Luiz is a striker and can play as a winger, which in itself creates some distance for him. Secondly, he grew up in a highly competitive football environment, and choosing to leave the stressful environment in Italy was also a relief for him.

Last season, Luis emerged in Pisa's Serie B promotion campaign. Now, he has made his debut in Serie A and Coppa Italia and is expected to play a bigger role. He has also been mentored by some well-known coaches over the past two years, including Inzaghi and Gilardino. The club has full confidence in his abilities and believes that he is not only technically outstanding, but also physically ready to deal with the high-intensity competition in Serie A.

Brasseur said: "If he can get close to double-digit appearances at the end of this season, it will be a good start. He will develop at a reasonable pace, and the Pisa environment also provides him with more opportunities." In the future, Louis Buffon may still have a chance to switch to the Italian national team, but in the short term, he is more likely to play for the Czech Republic in the upcoming World Cup qualifiers, and may even face Italy directly.
