Football: Juve look for Pescara win
Buffon claimed that former Bayern coach and president ‘should be quiet and wait for the [outcome of the] next game’.
MILAN:
Leaders Juventus will look to put their 2-0 Champions League defeat to Bayern Munich behind them by putting strugglers Pescara to the sword as they continue their march towards the Serie A title. The Old Lady of Turin looked frail midweek against the soon-to-be German champions, with veteran ‘keeper Gianluigi Buffon labelled a pensioner by German legend Franz Beckenbauer after he failed to stop Bayern’s first-minute opener. Buffon has since hit back at the ‘old wise man’ of German football, claiming the former Bayern coach and president ‘should be quiet and wait for the [outcome of the] next game’. In the meantime, Pescara provide the Bianconeri with a chance to take another step towards a successful title defence and allow coach Antonio Conte a chance to rest some tired legs.
