Del Piero blasts Don Fabio Friday 25 August, 2006
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Alex Del Piero has launched a sensational attack on former Juventus boss Fabio Capello. “I would have left had he stayed,” said the captain.
The tactician joined Real Madrid this summer in the aftermath of the Calciopoli demotion, a decision which has resulted in Del Piero pledging his future to the Old Lady.
“My relationship with Capello was not satisfying from many different points of view,” said the crowd favourite.
“It wasn’t only because I was often left out of the side, but because we just had a different way of seeing things.
“If Capello had decided to stay then I think I would have chosen another club, probably in a foreign League.”
Although the tactician did lead the side to two Scudetti in two seasons – which have now been revoked – Del Piero has blamed the Coach for Champions League failure last term.
“The man didn’t know how to manage the squad,” added Pinturrichio as he looked back to the Arsenal loss. “I think we dropped out of the tournament because of his methods.
“Then we only got as far as the quarter-finals last season because of a mistake by the Werder Bremen ‘keeper in the last 16 match.”
The club symbol also backed the outfit’s directors for opting to take their fight for Serie A readmission to the civil courts.
“I think the club had no other choice,” he noted. “There was no fair treatment if we compare Juve to the other scandal-hit clubs.
“We were the only outfit to really turn over a new leaf. I don’t find it right that we were the only ones to be punished,” concluded the No 10.
