Ramon Calderon revealed former Real Madrid manager wanted to sign Italian legend
Ramon Calderon has revealed that former Real Madrid manager Fabio Capello wanted to bring Gianluigi Buffon.
“When Capello arrived I remember he sat on the floor of my office and began handing out papers to decide who we did and didn’t want,” Calderon said.
“Yes, on the floor…Capello was clear. He wanted to bring Fabio Cannavaro, Buffon, David Trezeguet and Emerson.
“Juventus had been relegated and it was a great opportunity but I immediately dismissed it because we had Iker Casillas, the best. Cannavaro was fine because he had the Ballon d’Or. Emerson was not a success…”

“Trezeguet? Mijatovic said he had signed Ruud van Nistelrooy, and Capello accepted that. Gonzalo Higuain, Marcelo, Fernando Gago also came,” he continued.
“And people like Robben and Sneijder, the year they left they played for Bayern Munich and Inter in the Champions League Final at Santiago Bernabeu. Perez doesn’t like to inherit things…”
While Gareth Bale is not givng up on the La-liga title, says “still anything could happen.”
The opinion of me has changed a little. This season I’ve improved, I participate more and I play better,” he continued.

“Everyone knows I like to play in the middle, but if we don’t play a system with that position, then I like the right to come inside and create chances. I prefer the centre or the right, but the left doesn’t bother me.
“I was playing well until my injury, but this happens in football. I’m more comfortable now. I speaks more Spanish in the locker room and the happier you are, the better you function.
“I can still do much more and I hope to continue improving. I’m playing well, growing, improving, in form. But there is a lot more to come.”
I’m more adapted and I like living here. The meal times are different but my family has a good time here. I have a contract until 2019 and I’ll stay,” he vowed.
“I haven’t seen [the Neville news]. It’s hard to work in Spain without speaking Spanish. He’ll learn from this and it can help for the future.
“I think I came out of it stronger and that I’ve improved. I understand the game much better.”
