I taped Ale's interview of today. These are some pieces of it. Let's start with the most important and interesting one:

Federico Ferri (the Sky journalist following Juve): Un'ultima curiosità da parte mia: Massimo Mauro, domenica scorsa durante Sky Calcio Show, ha detto "Attenzione che Alessandro Del Piero non è rimasto alla Juve perchè doveva rimanere e basta, ma ha dovuto fare una scelta: a inizio stagione aveva un'importante offerta da una squadra all'estero e ha scelto di non andarci e di rimanere alla Juventus". Volevo chiedere se ci confermavi questo e se potevi dirci anche qual era questa squadra.
One last curiosity from me: Massimo Mauro, last sunday at 'Sky Calcio Show', said:"It's not like Alessandro Del Piero remained at Juve because he had to and that's it, he had to make a choice: before the beginning of the season he had an important offer from a club abroad and he chose not to go and to remain at Juve". I wanted to ask you if it's true and what is the name of this club.

Ale: Beh, ce n'era più di una, ma per rispetto non mi sembra il caso di fare nomi. Però la scelta che ho fatto è stata presa da me in tutta serenità, sapendo quello che potevo fare in una squadra che giocava ad alti livelli e quello che mi aspettava qui. Quindi l'ho fatta in maniera molto serena, ripeto, e sono tutt'oggi molto contento di questo.
Well, there was more than one, but making names would not be respectful. But I made my choice in absolute serenity, knowing what I could have achieved in club playing at 'high standards' and what was waiting for me here. I repeat, it was a really serene choice for me and I am still very happy of having chosen like I did.

At this point Sconcerti (ex fiorentina manager, now -irritating- journalist) said: Alex, per rispetto a te, non solo alla squadra, la posso dire io la squadra che ti voleva?
Alex, but to be respectful in your regards and not only in those of that club, can I say the club that wanted you?

Ale smiles a bit and says: Non lo so, non lo so..
I really don't know..

Sconcerti: Non è mica.. era il Manchester United. E Del Piero decise di non andare ad approfondire l'offerta. Quando capì che l'offerta era vera ed era seria, decise di non andare, perchè voleva rimanere alla Juventus. Non abbiamo mancato di rispetto a nessuno, dai..
It's not this big deal: it was Manchester United. Del Piero chose not to go deeper into the matter. When he realized the offer was real and serious, he chose not to go (to negotiate with the club), 'cause he wanted to remain at Juve. We didn't lack of respect to anyone, did we?

During Sconcerti's words Ale maintains a poker like face, then answers: No, nel senso che ci sono delle trattattive che non vanno neanche avanti, come hai detto tu, proprio perchè è successo veramente di tutto quest'estate, compreso anche il mondiale dove era bene avere la testa al mmonento e non al periodo successivo. Quindi ringrazio chi si è fatto sentire e chi era disposto a fare grandi cose con me e .. e basta.
There are negotiations that don't go very far, like you said, exactly because this summer happend lots of things and the WC is one of them. It was better having my mind focused on the present and not on what was going to happen later.
So, I wish to thank those who have contacted me and were ready to start great projects with me and.. and that's it.



There are no words to describe this man :touched:







Other pieces:

Sky journalist: Now, Ale, we want to see you arriving in Vinovo with the 500. No more big cars, since you have been given this present!
Ale (smiling): It depends on when I'll receive it, for now I only have the reproduction, I could always put it in the front seat.

Sky Journalist: So, there is to come an interesting match between Genoa and Napoli. How's it going to end, Ale?
Ale: Surely 1X2 (1=home victory, X=draw, 2=away victory), it surely's gonna end like this (lightly laughs).
Sky Journalist and Raja (Napoli's coach) laugh too.

Federico Ferri: 500 matches, how many Scudetti? 5 or 7?
Ale: 7, always 7, of course 7. :agree: :touched:


Compare these pieces of Sky inteview with this made by Rai. The journalist was obviously trying to get another "sensational" title from Ale's words:

Rai journalist: Some time ago you stated that Juve will have to convince you (to remain).
At this point we have Ale starting answering with a light venetian accent (something unusual for him, he always speaks a perfectly standarized Italian): We already talked about this. (nods and steps forward to leave)
Journalist: It's a closed topic also because it's an element of distraction, blah blah blah...
Ale: Exactly.
Journalist: You have to think about arriving to Serie A.
Ale: Perfect.

End of the interview, Ale goes to the dressing room smiling to himself :D
Also the journalists of that Rai show giggled at this, saying he was great :D
And he is :agree:

I’ve been thinking that for the past year..! I’m pretty sure I want one. I’d never go over the top and get them all down my arms and that. Just in a discreet place which can be covered up if needs be ;).


I have one.. IMO it's not a big deal.. Do it if you really want.
