Louis Buffon Debuts for Pisa in Serie B Loss

Louis Buffon, son of legendary goalkeeper Gianluigi Buffon, made his professional debut for Serie B side Pisa at just 17 years old, coming on as a substitute in a 3-2 defeat against Spezia. Unlike his father, who is renowned for his goalkeeping, Louis plays as a left winger and has recently been called up to represent the Czech Republic at the U18 level, choosing his mother's nationality over Italy. Gianluigi expressed pride in his son's choice, stating that the pressures of the Italian national team could be overwhelming. Louis has been making strides in youth football, scoring six goals in 20 appearances for the U19 team this season. Pisa is currently second in the league and aims for promotion to Serie A, marking a significant opportunity for the young player to develop his career. The family legacy continues as Louis aspires to forge his own identity in football, distinct from his father's illustrious path.
