Representing the Czech Republic U19, Buffon's son scored a hat trick in the European Youth Championship qualifying round.
6686 Sports News on November 13th The football glory of legendary goalkeeper Buffon is being continued by his son Louis Buffon. On November 12, in the European U19 European Youth Championship qualifying match, the 17-year-old Luis played on behalf of the Czech U19 national team and gave a wonderful performance, scoring a hat trick and sending an assist, helping the team beat Azerbaijan U19 6-1.
This victory not only made him famous, but also allowed him to finally score a goal after playing 5 times on behalf of the Czech U19. As a forward, Luis showed excellent goal-kicking ability, running awareness and passing vision in the game, becoming a key figure on the Czech team's offensive end.
Louis has dual Italian and Czech citizenship, and his mother is Czech. In February this year, he decided to represent the Czech Republic at the youth level. This choice was fully supported by his father Buffon.
“He suggested that I choose the Czech Republic because we agreed that this was the most suitable choice for my career.” Louis said in an interview before.
According to FIFA regulations, as long as he has not yet played an official game on behalf of the Czech adult team, he will still be eligible to play for Italy in the future. But for now, he has firmly embarked on his own development path.
Luis currently plays for Pisa Club, which has just been promoted to Serie A. Last season, he scored 8 goals in the Pisa U19 echelon, showing his keen sense of goal. This season, although he is only 17 years old, he has made his debut for the Serie A first team and has become a new star that the team focuses on cultivating.
It is worth mentioning that it was Filippo Inzaghi, the former Italian international and 2006 World Cup champion, who promoted him. Coincidentally, Inzaghi once played alongside Buffon in the national team, and now he has become his son's boss.
Although he has a legendary surname, Louis has always worked hard to get out of his father's halo. He chose to play forward, which is completely different from his father, who is a goalkeeper. This also symbolizes his desire to establish himself in football in his own way.
