Italian Press Launch Del Piero Campaign

The Italian press has launched a full-blown campaign for Alessandro Del Piero to be taken to Euro 2008.

Del Piero’s chances of going to Euro 2008 are in huge doubt because as well as not having played for his country for seven months, he is also said to not fit in to Roberto Donadoni’s 4-3-3 tactical system.

The 33-year-old has been in simply stunning form in recent months, and his strike against Milan on Saturday evening took him onto 14 Serie A goals for the season.

Today’s national newspapers have been dominated by calls for the Golden Boy to be taken to Austria and Switzerland.

It starts from the Gazzetta dello Sport, which headlines: "But how can we go without Alex?"

Il Giornale offers a similar title: "How can we leave Del Piero at home?"

Il Giorno is headed: "Del Piero in the National Team", before then going on to explain the reasoning.

"Del Piero is the best support striker in Italy,” it says.

“Then comes Mutu, Cassano is clearly behind. Palladino has been vaporized at Juventus and it would be ludicrous if Donadoni should prefer him to his club captain.

“Del Piero should be the alternative to Di Natale. The sense is this: the question of tactics can not prevail when it comes to the importance of the players ".

La Stampa says: "Del Piero, the best youngster".

Juventus boss Claudio Ranieri is clearly in agreement with the nation’s press.

"I think he is deserving,” said The Tinkerman.

“Champions like him do not respond in words, but on the pitch of play, just like he has.”

Giovinco: I Want To Annoy Del Piero

Empoli’s Juventus-owned starlet Sebastian Giovinco admits that he cannot wait to get back with the Bianconeri next season and is relishing the competition for places.

The young starlet scored a goal which was likened to many of Del Piero’s for the Bianconeri as Empoli drew with Parma on Sunday afternoon.

Giovinco has stated in the past that Del Piero was his childhood hero, however now he reveals that he is going to give Pinturricchio a few headaches next season.

“Next year I hope that I will annoy him by playing often,” said Giovinco. “Now I am thinking about saving Empoli from relegation and then next season I will be thinking about doing well with Juventus.”

The player has been in stunning form for the Tuscan outfit and his goals may be enough to help Empoli escape a possible demotion to Serie B.

Giovinco has kept their survival hopes alive, however Empoli are still two points from safety with five games remaining.

No doubt the Empolesi will be hoping Giovinco can fire his side out of the bottom places when they clash with fellow relegation strugglers Cagliari. The game is sure to be tense and it has been billed as a relegation play-off.
