(I'll translate It)
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Q: Alex, in your book you wrote about good and bad times, and you also stated that behind your success was six important things to remain/keep you balanced and not to loose any of them.
A: Yes, absolutely, first, the person should know how to depend on himself, 2nd to take care of his family, 3rd education, 4th Sonia and so on...and by the way Paolo man's behaviour in football isn't everything, It's pretty hard to find somebody calm and then turns to be aggressive and tough on the pitch.
Q: You mentioned your family alot in your book.
A: Family is something I spend my time with, I always contact my brother and my mother whom live somewhere far from me, they're still responsible of me and so am I, and I care for their opinion about things I'll do in the future.
Q: You're a man who has always been criticized in his life, yet you insist and fight for your beloved Juventus club.
A: In Juventus everything is different. I don't really care when I'm criticized, It's not a new thing. The most important things here is my relationship with the team, and I can never forget the connection between me and my mates and fans. Not to also mention that in Turin I've met a woman whom I'm married to. Anyway, in a shortcut Juventus is a dream.
Q: How do you feel towards your club at this moment, knowing that you're in "B"?
A: Of course It's not an easy thing, playing 14years with Juventus on a top level and then to be demoted all of us isn't easy. Alot of friends left, but I'm very happy with my decision.
Q: Did you really make friends out of Football?
A: Yes of course, I still have friends from "Padova" days like Di Livio, It's not easy to see them like before, because each one is in different city and has different job. In my world of friendship, I care about quality and not how many. When you pass through dificult moments/periods in your life, quality is what matters.
Q: You and Zambrotta, Cannavaro and Ferrara left Germany during the World Cup to visit pessotto.
A: We did our best to make Gianluca feel that he's not alone, thats what a friend can do in these difficult moments.
Q: In your book, you wrote that there are some bad events you can never forget them.
A: Yes, lot of bad things I can never forget, and on top of them is Capello.
Q: Since 6years and you're trying to help "Community against cancer".
A: Each person should help as much as he can. Taking care of people who need that is a must.
Q: Del Piero in his 20's....and Del Piero now, can you describe it?
A: There's not alot to describe, I still feel young, the only difference is that I'm married, and that I'll have children. I'm dreaming of Los Angeles, the most wondeful city in my life.

I especially liked the 1st goal.
Juventus chief Giovanni Cobolli Gigli: “We are obviously interested in keeping Buffon, although other men are also important. Alex Del Piero? I would say that it is highly probable that he will stay with us, but we will wait and see. http://www.channel4.com/sport/football_italia/feb19d.html
