It was a wonderful goal from 20m according to the Italian sites. I've been looking for it everywhere but couldn't find a video (even in Japanese sites). I'll post it as soon as I'll find it (I believe it'll happen soon, some Japnese guys will wake up and upload it to Youtube. It's morning in Japan in few hours, right?).
Alessandro Del Piero says that he still does not know where he will be plying his trade next season.
The Italian World Cup winner is looking for a club after parting company with Juventus earlier this year and has been linked with moves to the United States, Argentina and Asia.
Del Piero was in Japan on Saturday for a friendly match arranged to raise funds for those affected by the tsunami which devastated the country last year.
When asked about the possibility of him continuing his career in Japan, the legendary forward was non-committal.
"I still don't know where I will play next season, but the fact that I don't already have a club allowed me to be here tonight, so it was probably destiny that it had to be this way," the 37-year-old told reporters.
"It will be a big decision after 19 years (with Juventus) but I am very serene, and with my next club I will start another great adventure, again with the joy of playing football, as was the case here tonight."
Del Piero, who has 91 Italy caps to his name, joined Juventus from Padova in 1993 and left Turin as the club's all-time record goalscorer and appearance holder.
EDIT: All those Italian transfers experts don't know shit. First they said Mls, last week they said Brazil and now they say Japan. I still hope he'll stay in Europe, hopefully in the EPL.
