Being first choice instead of Buffon, Szczesny: I'm the best goalkeeper in the world!

Wojciech Szczesny, the Juventus goalkeeper, can be a bit arrogant, because he becomes the first choice under the crossbar than Gianluigi Buffon. Jokingly, he claimed to be the best goalkeeper in the world today.
The position of the main goalkeeper has been obtained by Szczesny since last season, right after Gianluigi Buffon decided to move to PSG. Although management led Mattia Perin from Genoa, his presence under the crossbar remained unshakeable.

His appearance last season can also be called suspicious. Of the 28 appearances in Serie A, he only conceded 20 goals. 29 years old also managed to pocket 11 white sheets.

But concerns were expressed as soon as Juventus announced the return of Buffon PSG. Fortunately, Szczesny remains the first choice in at least the last two matches of the season.

In two seasons, the situation has reversed. After Szczesny could only see him on the bench, he saw Buffon now with his successor.

Szczesny was able to boast, believing that the goalkeeper who had been hailed as the best figure in the world was his representative for Juventus. He can even claim to be the best goalkeeper in the world today.

"Before saying that when I was in Rome, it was for the best goalkeeper in the world, Alisson, who is now in Liverpool," Szczesny told Przeglad Sportowy.

"Now at Juve, my successor is one of the best goalkeepers of all time, so I may be the best goalkeeper in the world and history," he said.

Even so, that's not why he can be grateful for Buffon's return to Turin. He felt happy because he could finish his studies with the former Italian national team goalkeeper.

"Seriously, one more year to learn from Gigi is a priceless experience and I'm glad he is back," added the goalkeeper who also played for Arsenal.

"I am happy, when I came to Juventus two years ago, I knew I would be his representative for one year, he now returned to his consciousness, our relationship was good," he said. the word.

But Szczesny must continue to give up his position occupied by Buffon at least eight times in Serie A. Because, apparently, in a 42-year contract, there is a clause that requires Juventus to play at least eight times.
