Some of his long interview with Sport Fox Australia:
Honestly, haven't you thought of leaving Juventus for once when Calciopoli scandal took place and Juve were demoted to Serie B?
- No never, I'm the captain and I said it from the very first moment, I'm not leaving and I haven't thought for a minute leaving or joining any other club.
Can you explain to us the kind of pressure one passes through when taking a penalty kick in a final world cup match like when you took the one against France?
- There was a huge pressure and I can't really describe what I was feeling inside and passing through. The most difficult part is when you're walking from half the field, picking up the ball place it in the spot. That's because during the walk it takes like 15 - 20 seconds and you start thinking or talking to yourself, there was a moment when I said to myself :"Okay Ale, don't worry, there's nothing to worry about, there are only 2 billion people watching you"
[journalist laughs also] I don't remember how many viewers they were at that day half the world was watching me back then, it's a world cup final, this shot is going to decide my future, our team's future, everyone's future, I smiled to myself because all my life I prepared myself for this moment and said: Alright Ale, go there and score like a little boy and thankfully this was the case.
