Forty three years later the great “Black Spider” Lev Yachin it could be possible that a goalkeeper win the best award for a player of European leagues. In the achievement to be appointed by France Football’s jury best player of the year failed truly sacred monsters of world football and also goalkeepers like Dino Zoff, Trevor Banks, Peter Shilton, Walter Zenga, Oliver Kahn and Peter Schmeichel, because in football, it is well-known, that the most of attention is always stolen by forwards or, at the best, by the attacking midfielder. But during these days in which the goalkeepers of all the world mobilize themselves against the dangerousness of the role that is increasing (see the terrible accident during a Premiership match occurred to the Czech Petr Cech of Chelsea) and to the lack of arbitral guardianship, from Italy arrives the nomination as best player of the year for the best goalkeeper of the world since several seasons, Gianluigi Buffon. Arrigo Sacchi, the ex coach of great Milan during nineties, suggested him. He said from the pages of La Gazzetta dello Sport: “I always thought that to win the Ballon d'Or it is necessary to get a big talent, physical and technical abilities. The assignment of the award become later on an act almost due when a player win a lot as protagonist with his club, in the cational team, in a European championship, in the World Cup and in the Champions League. This is the history of the last season of Gigi Buffon, the absolute protagonist… Nobody is like him.” The Inter’s coach Roberto Mancini joins Sacchi, he thinks that Buffon is “ the sole player more decisive in the world”. Did Yachin find his successor?
