The name Buffon is a guarantee of absolute quality in world football. Gianluigi Buffon was one of the best goalkeepers in the world for years. The next generation has now arrived in football.

Louis Buffon, born in 2007, was on the bench for the first time in Serie B last weekend. The offspring of Gigi and Alena Seredova is under contract with Pisa and normally plays for the U19 team. However, Buffon's son is not a goalkeeper like his famous father, but an attacker who plays on the wing.

Louis Buffon plays for the Czech Republic

Buffon Junior was recently called up for the national team for the first time. However, he will not play for Italy, but for the Czech Republic - his mother's home country. Apparently the Italian association is also interested in Louis Buffon playing for the national team. Because the Czechs have been active in the past, the 17-year-old has decided against the Azzurri (at least for now).
