Il Capitano Alessandro Del Piero (156 Viewers)

[Martin]

As I have predicted before Del Piero is not going to play for Italy this season, just like back in 2004-05, where he kinda was given a break to concentrate on club football and then came back in 2005-06 and to earn his place for WC.

Same scenario is happening IMO.

Doesn't it seem to you like Lippi has retired him once and for all? (Which is maybe for the best.)

No, I don't think so. They've probably sat down and talked about this, and decided it together.

I'm pretty sure Lippi has said that this is the case.

"It"? Retirement it or some other it?

The "chill for this season, you'll get your 100th cap and get shit load of time to become top 3 all time scorer next season" it

 

[Martin]

lol that must mean Lippi is planning to stay for years and planning to call Del Piero for years

 

[Elvin]

Well, there should be enough time for 2-3 more goals in Azure, I hope.

 

[Martin]

I'm not so sure, his scoring ratio is appalling..

I'm not so sure, his scoring ratio is appalling..

It is but it has to be remembered that he's be played out of position quite a lot with the national team over the years.

Ah, my bad. Now that he's not called, I don't think I'm that excited watching this game.

its just not the same without ale, dont get me wrong i still love watching the azzurri but with del piero in the squad i just feel it even more.

100%. He's our Juventus Captain after-all. Feels different when he's playing.

 

[Ahmed]

honestly, the Azzurri isn't even half as fun when Ale isn't there

i always tend to get more nervous before matches if he is playing TBH.

So do I

I second that. One of the reasons I was cheering for Azzurri is because of Ale and of course other players such as Buffon etc. But I felt like last time Azzurri played a game and I didn't even watch them for more than 15min when I figured out that Ale isn't there.

I think it was against Greece.

Exactly,,, I'm pretty sure that had Ale been called up I'd be waiting for that game nervously. Now, I doubt watching the game, seriously.
