Unexpected decision, Gigi Buffon's son chooses to play for the Italian national team...

Gianluigi Buffon has reached the heights of European football with the Italian national team, being one of the protagonists of the team that won the World Cup in 2006. But it seems that he has not managed to pass on this love for Italy to his son, even though the former goalkeeper is now part of the Italian national team staff.

Unexpectedly, his son Louis Buffon, born in December 2007, has chosen not to wear the blue jersey, but that of the Czech Republic.

Born from Buffon's marriage to Czech model Alena Seredova, he is eligible to play for the Czech Republic precisely because of his mother's ancestry. That's why he is on the Czech U18 team's roster for a training camp next week in Pisek, ahead of matches against England, Portugal and France.

Luis is a left winger who has played for Pisa's youth teams, but last weekend he was on the bench with the first team in the Serie B match against Cesena. Another well-known name in Italian history, Pipo Inzaghi, was the coach who chose to bring the youngster into the first team, but without giving him any minutes among the professionals.
