To be honest with you, it will be difficult for a lot of people to take such decision at that period of time being human. He took the right decision sincerely speaking,” he told Goal. “As a captain, you are responsible for your team and not to the referee.Captainship does not give you any extra right to influence the referee’s decision.“Buffon went beyond his bound. The referee took a decision and he was going to him. Was he going to change his decision? The law does not permit that. “However, in some situations, maybe some referees would have managed that situation differently. That would then be based on individual leverage. But for Oliver to follow the rule of the game, he was entirely right.”</blockquote>
