Look MaTey, DP was picked for the squad and then dropped from the team like a few others: so what?

Live with it.
Beckham doesn't even make the squad and who is crying into their beer.

Cheers MaTey.

Respect: shall he select as a coach or as an auntie. He does what he does to win, and that is his job.

I seriously don't know where you're trying to get at.

What happened to Del Piero is diff from what's going with Beckham. Beckham wasn't picket for the Croatia game, unlike Dp who was picked. And who was left out for Technical reasons, that I and i'm sure many other thousands of people don't really know what technical reasons he was talking about.

It's simple, you don't want Del Piero in your squad, Fine, but don't treat a champion like him this way. Don't give him a call and then drop him this way. You do that with teenagers, kids, un-professional players etc...but never with Del Piero.

Interviwe with Tardelli about Del Piero from Tutto Sport


Tardelli: «Ma io non sarei stato zitto» STEFANO SALANDIN
Buongiorno Marco Tardelli. Entriamo subito in argomento: lei, in Georgia, avrebbe mandato in tribuna Alessandro Del Piero?

« Mah... Non voglio giudicare Donadoni, anche perché non conosco i dettagli della situazione. Lui ha visto e ha deciso per quella soluzione » . Deve aver visto qualcosa di ben grave, perٍ...
« In effetti, dalla possibilità di giocare alla tribuna il passo è molto grande. Ma è difficile capire cosa possa essere successo » .
Ma lei crede che Alex potrà essere ancora utile a questa Nazionale?

« Se viene convocato è perché si ritiene che sia ancora utile... » .
Non c’è il rischio che possa pagare la Srie B, la desuetudine ai grandi incontri?

« Ma no. Se ci fossero problemi di questo tipo, non l’avrebbero neppure convocato. E poi hanno fatto un regolamento apposta per consentire ai giocatori della Juventus, e delle altre squadre, di poter rispondere alle convocazioni delle Nazionali senza penalizzare il campionato. E’ evidente che c’è intenzione di chiamare ancora i bianconeri » .
Quindi Del Piero ha la possibi*lità di dimostrare di essere ancora un giocatore degno dell’azzurro?

« Dimostrare... Non credo proprio che Del Piero abbia ancora qualcosa da dimostrare. Si sa benissimo chi è e se lo si convoca vuol dire che lo si ritiene adeguato agli impegni. Il problema, casomai, è un altro »
Quale?
« Devono parlarsi, lui e Donadoni. E’ una questione che devono risolvere tra di loro. Anche perché non mi pare che abbiano dato molte spiegazioni a chi guarda dall’esterno » .
Già, Del Piero non ha fatto polemiche: un atteggiamento che gli fa onore, no?

« Se, se... Ma lui ha sempre tenuto questo atteggiamento, anche nella Juve. Anche stavolta è stato coerente e se n’è stato zitto » .
Lei non avrebbe fatto lo stesso, vero?

« No ( sorride), io no. Stare zitto non è mai stata la mia specialità » .
Ha visto la Juve, in campionato?
« Se, qualche partita l’ho vista »
E Del Piero come le è sembrato?
« Ragazzi, ma come si fa a giudicare Del Piero nel campionato di B? Alex, am anche Trezeguet, Camoranesi e tutti gli altri sono troppo superiori perché si possa dare un giudizio » .

Quindi crede che Alex possa ancora essere un valore aggiunto per questa Juve?

« Credo che intono a lui ci sia un equivoco, diciamo cose, anagrafico dovuto al fatto che Alex gioca ad altissimi livelli da molto tempo. Ma non è affatto vecchio e puٍ ancora dare molto. E poi è solo la testa che puٍ dire se si hanno la voglia e gli stimoli per continuare o meno » .
Forse rischia un appagamento da Mondiale?

« Non credo. Altri, magari. Ma non Del Piero, almeno per come lo conosco io » . Dopo l’addio, comunque, il suo futuro professionale sembra già scritto: dirigente della Juventus.

« Alex ha tutte le caratteristiche per essere un ottimo uomo d’azienda: ha equilibrio, esperienza, ha dimostrato un grande attacca.mento alla maglia. Ma prima godiamocelo ancora un po’ in campo » .
«Alex è stato corretto, ma convocarlo per mandarlo in tribuna è strano.
Difficile, perٍ, sapere cosa abbia visto Donadoni per decidere cose»

DP was selected to play in the squad and it was decided it was best for the team to leave him out; this is fine. He is a professional and must live with it, as many others do.

Technical reason is that he is no longer the captain and not pivotal to the team any longer.
So! Part of getting older.

Not so differnet to Beckham as I see it.

Maybe you are right and the Don should never have even selected him for the squad.

Head is all right thank you AZZI. Whole lot better.

They were lucky in the world cup-as much as I enjoyed it.

Some of the comments here are nothing short of idolisation.

Face the fact that DP is a very good player in Seria B, a good player in Serai A and an average player in the world game.

Lovely looking as he is, and as great a sevant to our side over the years that he has been.
i think thats harsh bianconero, as much as ale is no where near the player he was now, he still does things which cannot be considered average, for a start his freekicks are still top class, he still has good vision and great technique, sure his physical aspects have gone down a lot, but he is more than an average player in the world game

The bit about del piero being idoalized here is true.but why shouldnt it be true?he's a club legend.a god at juventus.a player who bleeds black and white.why SHOULDNT he be idolized here?

he's not the same player that he was.and to be honest,i dont think he can be regarded as one of the best in the world anymore which is becasue of the toil his body has taken over the years.but over the course of his entire juventus career,he has been brilliant.yes,his performances at national level have been below par,but from a pure juventus perspective,he deserves every inch of idolization that ge gets.

if Lippi... a coach with more experience , better man-management, better understanding of football...if he thinks that Ale is an important player for the Azzurri then who is Donadoni to leave him out of the squad for "technical" reasons?

the italian NT manager i believe?
del piero is not 22 anymore where he can be expected to feature in every game.and maybe donadoni feels that the system he plays does not require del piero as much as his ardent fans would like to think.its not as if donadoni spat at del piero in public.he featured against ukraine but didnt play against georgia.its a perfectly normal decision and i dont see why such a big issue needs to be made out of it.

del piero is not the future of italian football anymore.there is young blood available,and that young blood will feature more prominently in the national team than del piero.and just becasue lippi thought of del piero as an important cog in the azzurri machine does not mean that donadoni will think likewise.the system preferred by donadoni might have made him think that del piero was not best suited to it.

I don't know why people care... I said from the beginning that Donadoni is pure utter crap. He's the definition of a milanista really. From the first instance he played his first match it was obvious he was crap and Italy looked completley different.. all the opponent managers including geogria heh said that it's a completlely differnet team and it's obvious that the one person to blame for that is Donadoni. His italy team plays UGLY and BAD... it doesn't deserve to go to the euros probably. So of course he would leave Del Piero out because he's an imbecile, an imbecile who also did nothing for Italy NT apart from missing a crucial penalty in Italy 1990.

If you mean the word "fag", as I believe you to mean it, then why are you using it as an insult?

Especially on this particular thread where homoerotism runs rife through every page. Take a close look into the mirror my friend.

Please accept my apologies if I am wrong.
that's so not funny. Anyway, I suspect Italy won't make it to the Euro but Scotland and France will actually. Even if they do they will fail horribly. This is a good time for Del Piero to retire from Italy, to say that Donadoni can go .... himself and that he will only concentrate on Juve from now on and won't play for Italy again end of story. Few years from now he'll play a farewell match from Azzurri and that's it. It's how it should be seeing as Italy really won't do anything for many years now.

umm ok lets c...how old was zidane when he played in berlin?or thuram?makelele even?these 3 were not 22 either but they managed to give outstanding performances in the WC...do u think ADP is not as good or better than these players??? That is where ppl are wrong...AGE is not ths issue man...many players have had careers even till their 40s...just look at shearer or bergkamp they were playing better than ever!!! it is simply how much faith the manager has on his players...Do u believe that Di Natale is a more valuable player than Ale??? And what "system" that is so revoloutionary is Donadoni playing with...they played the same formation in Euro 2004 and WC 2006 qualifiers

You make a good case for your argument, and I do concede to a few points. I have nothing against idolisation, per se, but against the ignorance and bias that beats anon the drum of respect. He was selected to train and it was considered best to leave him out. End of...
The time is, as you put it, for younger players to step forward and meet the needs of the Italian National team. Although I would have DP on the bench.

I like Cassano as a player.
