Quotes from Gianluca Pagliuca.2.

Bologna's official site, 08/09/1999

In Rome, we discussed the rules pertaining to goalkeepers, and I must say that I left that meeting feeling a lot more calm than before. In substance, the rules are the same as last season, referees will just have to pay more attention to interpreting certain situations.

Buffon has the indisputable advantage of being over 10 years younger than me and of having a great talent, he is really a tremendous goalkeeper.

Bologna has a very respectable defense, we are doing very well, and we hope to continue this way. At Parma, we will have to watch out because the yellow-and-blue have an attacking line-up that is second only to Inter's or maybe Fiorentina's.

Parma is certainly my nemesis. With Inter, I played against them at their stadium five times, and I have always lost, in fact, in the four games with them last season we were always beaten. I also know that Bologna has not had a great relationship with Parma, but maybe on Sunday we will have a chance to show what we're worth.
