Buffon's Comeback, Two Hours Later He Swiftly Regrets It! Deletes Post Overnight: "I'd Rather Go Back to Farming in My Hometown!"

Tang Long's official announcement of his return to Serie A has the entire Inter Milan team overjoyed.

Former captain Ranocchia even retracted his retirement announcement, signing a one-year contract extension with Inter Milan for a mere €500,000 salary, all in order to realize his dream of playing alongside Tang Long.

"We haven't played together for seven years," Ranocchia said to reporters, tears streaming down his face as he signed the contract. "Tang Long's arrival has revitalized me. I've never felt so full of energy as I do today. I feel like I can fight again!"

However, while some rejoice, others grieve. Tang Long's return has instilled fear in Serie A's rivals.

There's one thing that's no secret in the world of football.

Who is the goalkeeper in the world most afraid of Tang Long?

Not Courtois, the Real Madrid goalkeeper who scored four goals in the UEFA Champions League final;

Not De Gea, the Manchester United goalkeeper who was forced to retire early after being beaten by Tang Long;

It was certainly not the Barca goalkeeper Ter Stegen was so dizzy and disoriented from being swayed by Tang Long's pendulum that he suffered cerebellar atrophy.

It's Buffon!

Juventus' goalkeeper, Buffon!

The feud between Buffon and Tang Long could go on for three days and three nights;

It could be written into a 600-page tome, or it could be made into a Hollywood blockbuster with a thrilling plot.

Just being tricked by three consecutive Panenka penalties was enough to make Buffon lose face, a wound that the famous Italy goalkeeper will never be able to erase for the rest of his life! Buffon has been traumatized by Tang Long.

Originally, Buffon, 47, who was already semi-retired, had been living a happy and peaceful life in his rural hometown after announcing his retirement in Parma two years ago. But an opportunity led Buffon to announce his comeback.

After many years, Palermo, who have returned to Serie A, have set their sights on Buffon and want him to join the team.

Palermo have a formidable attack, ranking first in Serie B last season, but they concede an average of 1.6 goals per game.

Their poor defense meant they could only barely qualify for Serie A.

The owner is worried about the team's defense in Serie A and feels that an experienced goalkeeper is needed to start.

Buffon was very excited when he received the invitation.

"Haha, I've been retired for two years, and there are still Serie A teams interested in me. Looks like it's not the right time to retire yet!"

Unwilling to accept his age, Buffon immediately accepted Palermo's invitation and signed a one-year contract with the team.

Buffon knew very well that, given his age of nearly 50 and the lack of regular training during his two years of retirement, it was completely impossible for him to play for a top club like Juventus or Paris Saint-Germain.

However, against a team like Palermo, our past technical assistance was an overwhelming advantage!

Having spent two years in his hometown, Buffon wanted to take this opportunity to join the smaller club Palermo and relive the feeling of being a big shot at Juventus and Parma.

[Two years after my retirement, I still maintain my ambition, and I announce that I will return to the Serie A pitch next season.]

When Buffon posted this status on his social media, the entire Apennine Peninsula went wild!

For many Italy, Buffon is synonymous with goalkeeper, their national team's eternal guardian.

Although Buffon is getting old, his return is ultimately a good thing for many of his fans.

In fact, not only Italy football, but the entire world of football is eagerly anticipating Buffon's return.

After playing for Juventus for 19 years, Buffon first went to Paris Saint-Germain, then briefly returned to Juventus before joining Parma.

During his time away from Juventus, Buffon continued to perform exceptionally well, even becoming a key player for the team and a crucial figure in deciding the outcome of matches.

In an instant, the entire world of football sang praises to Buffon, saying that old soldiers never die!

Buffon is also full of ambition for his return to Serie A.

Shortly afterward, an unexpected turn of events completely shattered Buffon's plans, leaving him utterly bewildered.

"What? This guy actually went back to Inter Milan???"

When Buffon saw the official announcement at home, his mind went blank; a bolt from the blue struck Buffon.

What hasn't Buffon seen in his life? He's been the runner-up in the UEFA Champions League three times.

No one has ever instilled such fear in Buffon as Tang Long.

In fact, whenever Tang Long's name is mentioned, whether by someone else or by Buffon himself, his body begins to tremble uncontrollably.

Those unbearable memories from the past surfaced vividly in Buffon's mind, like scenes from a movie, as if they were from a film.

He still remembers every scene of his battle with Tang Long, and how Tang Long used three consecutive Panenka penalties to completely outplay him, making him lose face and even becoming a source of ridicule and jokes for many Inter Milan fans.

You can score a penalty with a Panenka, Buffon was also given a Panenka penalty by Zidane, but to use a Panenka on me three times in a row, it's obvious this is deliberately trying to mess with me.

In fact, Tang Long has defeated Buffon multiple times not only in terms of Panenka penalties.

Whether at Inter Milan or Manchester City, whenever Buffon faced Juventus, he became Tang Long's victim, scoring countless incredible goals.

Just like Joe Hart, Buffon became a blatant backdrop for Tang Long, highlighting Tang Long's greatness.

"Let's not talk about it anymore, let's not talk about it anymore, I'd better go back to the countryside to herd cattle!"

Buffon quickly pulled out his phone and deleted his declaration of a comeback from social media.

However, the internet has a long memory. Although Buffon's declaration only appeared for less than two hours, it has already been screenshotted and kept by many fans around the world.

This has sparked much discussion, with many wondering why she suddenly deleted her social media posts when she had clearly announced her comeback.

Could there be some unforeseen event?

Even Romano, the famous Italy transfer journalist, was completely baffled.

It's worth noting that, compared to Buffon's self-announcement, Romano had already revealed his signature "herewego" message a day earlier, declaring that Buffon would soon return to the pitch in Palermo.

People were buzzing with discussion and making all sorts of wild guesses. Soon, some naturally connected Tang Long's return with Buffon's deletion of his social media posts, and the final conclusion was: Buffon was scared away by Tang Long!

Buffon, being too proud to admit it, would naturally refuse.

However, the Palermo owner flew into a rage and vehemently refused Buffon's request to terminate the already signed contract.

"Do you think Palermo is a marketplace where you can come and go as you please? You've already signed a contract, and you have a contract to abide by!"

He added, "Oh dear, Old Bu, even if I owe you a favor, you at least have to help us stay in Serie A!"

Palermo's owner used a combination of persuasion and pressure, finally managing to convince Buffon to stay.

The team's official website promptly published photos of the signing with Buffon.

The world of football is full of rumors and deceptions, and what exactly is Buffon's mental state? Everyone outside the football world is just speculating, and no one can really explain it.

However, one thing is certain: Buffon will have a tough time in the 2025-2026 season.

Because he will once again stand on the goal line, facing his lifelong nemesis – Inter Milan player Tang Long!
