Gianluigi Buffon: 'I failed as Juventus captain against Cesena'

Juventus captain Gianluigi Buffon has said that he blames himself for his side's draw away at Cesena last night.

Franco Brienza's goal secured a point for the league's second bottom side, and Buffon believes that he should have inspired his team to win having sensed that their attitude was wrong.

He told Sky Italia: "With all due respect for Cesena, who played a great game tonight, it is our fault if we failed to get all three points.

"The attitude was wrong and in these situations the blame is above all down to the captain. It is my job to keep the players fired up and focused both in the locker room and on the pitch. Evidently I failed in that duty tonight."

Juventus are seven points clear of Roma at the top of the table.
