Marotta: Buffon didn't fake injury


Juventus chief executive Giuseppe Marotta has dismissed rumour that goalkeeper Gianluigi Buffon faked injury to avoid playing for Italy against Denmark to save energy to face Napoli.
 
Napoli were the only team to beat Juventus last season when they won the Italian Cup final 2-0, while Juventus completed the 38-match league campaign with an unbeaten record.
 
Buffon suffered his injury last Friday in a World Cup qualifier game. Italy won the game 3-1 win in Armenia
 
Marotta said: 'Ours is a nation of conspiracy. Everything needs to be taken back to sport.
 
'There is nothing to say about Buffon. He is the captain of Juventus and of Italy and the allegations are unfounded.
 
'Wearing the blue shirt of Italy is the highest aspiration for all players and Buffon is not the kind of guy to give up at the first sign of trouble. He didn't play against Denmark because he thought he wasn't ready.'
