Juventus goalkeeper Gigi Buffon admits he was disappointed with the backlash after admitting he was seeing a psychologist between 2003 and 2004.

“Our country is a strange one," said Buffon.

"We are scared of showing a degree of normality and asking for help. It's a time where the Superman character is in fashion, but those who are in need and don't ask for help go through a kind of castigation."
