Del Piero: I earned Euro 2008
Saturday 24 November, 2007
Alessandro Del Piero warns he is not resigned to ending his Azzurri career. “If we’re at Euro 2008, some of the credit is mine.”
The Juventus captain has been left out of the Italy squad ever since publicly telling Roberto Donadoni that he would not play out of position anymore.
He had been used repeatedly in a wide left midfield role and complained that, especially in the 0-0 with France, this left him too detached from centre-forward Pippo Inzaghi.
“I don’t feel as if I am cut out of the race to be in the side. Do I dream of Euro 2008? Yes, for that matter also about the 2010 World Cup,” he told 'La Repubblica’ newspaper.
“I don’t want to play for the Nazionale as a midfielder, but I can quite happily do what Antonio Di Natale did against Scotland.”
Donadoni prefers the 4-3-3 formation, but can sometimes switch to a 4-4-2 or even a disguised 4-5-1 when needs be and it is here that Del Piero believes he can contribute.
“I wasn’t called up for the last two games, but you cannot destroy all the work done up until now with two missed appearances,” he assured.
“I have my own ideas on why I’ve been left out, but I do not feel myself the victim of any injustice. I have told Donadoni – if Italy are at Euro 2008 then some of the credit is also mine.”
The Juventus star made five appearances in the qualifying campaign for Austria and Switzerland, although he did not score a single goal and has not played for the Nazionale since the 0-0 with France on September 8, when he made his stand about playing in midfield.
“I am playing a little less than last season at club level, though I have much the same scoring record, and did not notice any moments of decline or total darkness.”
Throughout his career Alex has had to deal with constant criticism from the media, but the man who turned 33 a fortnight ago is accustomed to it.
“That kind of backchat builds my self-esteem,” he smiled. “I don’t feel like a Highlander, though. I know I’m not eternal.”
Del Piero also commented on the Scudetto race, where Juventus have been complaining that since Calciopoli they are 'punished’ by too many refereeing errors.
“It is entirely possible the psychological weakness towards big clubs like Juve and Milan has been turned on its head.
“If these two sides are complaining, does this make it a fairer campaign? I’d say it’ll only be fair when nobody has any reason to complain. If I make a mistake, I can’t rectify it by making another error to compensate.
“Every team that has won the Scudetto benefited from incidents going their way, including Inter, Lazio and Roma. That is the truth.”
