Also probably one of the reasons Donadoni left him out is because he outplayed him in training???
loool reminded me of the time when I shot the ball on coach's face and he hated me and benched me for it.

We were at training I was playing as a goaly at that game. It was a free ball. He was the forward against me. We both ran to get to the ball quicker than the other. I got their a second earlier and blasted it in the air. He was too close it hit his face, he bounced in the air and fell down on the ground.

I was a starter. I became a bench the game after it immediately for the rest of the season lol..

Legrottaglie Hails Del Piero As An Example To Follow

Juventus defender Nicola Legrottaglie praised his team-mate and captain Alessandro Del Piero, and considers himself lucky to have played alongside the forward in his career.

Legrottaglie has been having a wonderful season after winning back a starting position in the Bianconeri's first team, and becoming a fundamental element in coach Claudio Ranieri's defensive line.

"For us he's an example. He's an exceptional lad outside the playing field, and consequently also on the pitch. He always proves this and he proves it in spirit.

"I arrived here five years ago and I saw him in a certain way, but after five years, now I'm seeing the first Del Piero again, the one I admired many years ago," he concluded.

Looks like lot of pressure on Donadoni right now. Rossi and Sacchi wanting Del Piero to play in Euro.

The 1982 world cup winner said "Del Piero? I don't think we can do anything special in Euro without him. He does things on the pitch only few players can do it. And Donadoni should really consider Alex, thats my advice. It's true that he got lot of attackers playing on a big level, but I think Del Piero is the only one that can give a hand and drive Italy far in Euro. with no disrespect to anyone"


As for Sacchi, he also called Donadoni to take Del Piero into consideration.

Del Piero? I think Donadoni should find a solution for this as Del Piero can't be left out. Del Piero's in great form and I think there isn't any reason not to take him. I know Del Piero very well, I was the first one who called him to the National team, and what I can say is that he's a bonus to have. For me, I really want to see him and I think he deserve to be there.

Legro sees Alex effect
Wednesday 20 February, 2008

Juventus stopper Nicola Legrottaglie has hailed Alessandro Del Piero as the main man behind the Old Lady’s superb season.

The Bianconeri can legitimately set their sights on second place after pulling within a single point of Roma after defeating the Giallorossi last weekend.

Del Piero was the difference between the two sides in Turin and former Chievo man Legrottaglie believes that Juve’s captain is an inspirational force.

“He is an example for us,” Legrottaglie explained. “He’s an exceptional man on and off the pitch.

“I arrived here five years ago and I had a certain impression of him, but now I am seeing the man that I admired many years ago.”

Legrottaglie is enjoying a renaissance in Turin and it is now easy to forget that he was close to leaving Juve in the summer.

“I came into this season after three tough years of injuries, mistrust and misunderstandings,” he recalled.

“The nice thing now is that I’m playing at the level that allowed me to reach the national team and I am a regular for Juve.

“As a team we are going for second place, but we must keep looking over our shoulders. There’s a big difference between finishing second and third – a different training camp, longer holidays and bigger ambitions.”

Del Piero deserves the Golden Boot. He has shown so many talents and so much class. He deserves it without question. Personaly, I hope Donadoni brings back Del Piero for the Euro's and Del Piero has the best Euro's of his life.

Then his service would read
Scudetto, yes
Champions, Yes
World Cup, Yes
Euro's, Yes
Golden Boot, Yes

Eighth These have outlined that the British team has matured a lot: Liverpool has not played all'arrembaggio but has learned to think and Arsenal also took the spot of the game. Playing at Anfield is not simple, there is a special climate. then with a man less it is even more difficult.
