I remember this photo well. In the first match of Euro 2008 Italy lost 0:3 to Holland, with Ale and Cassano coming of the bench for like 15 minutes. After this performance, all Italy asked Donadoni to start with Ale. 24 hours before the match, I saw this pic in the Gazzetta, in the training report in which they said that Ale looked great during the training, and I was thinking:"Considering how looks in this pic, it makes sense. This guy can't be 34". The match was on Friday, and not only that Ale started, he was the Captain. I was so excited, I couldn't sleep the night before and I couldn't sit even during Italy's anthem, I was on my feet for like hour and a half. Anyway, eventually it was pretty disappointing. Ale almost scored a header after 5-6 minutes, but that's all.
