Il Capitano Alessandro Del Piero (123 Viewers)

Anyone happen to read La Stampa this morning?
They claim that the return of Massimo Neri may have something to do with Alex' injuries. The past couple of seasons DP had been working with personal trainers, resulting in virtually no injuries. Now, it seems Alex is requested to follow the same training programs as his teammates.

Extract of a bigger article:

In realtà la guarigione del capitano bianconero nell’ultimo mese e mezzo è stata nebulosa e contradditoria. Alex era in panchina a Roma contro i giallorossi ai primi di settembre, poi di nuovo un periodo di assenza giustificato dalle remore del giocatore che non si sentiva a posto. Sullo sfondo c’è anche la gestione della sua preparazione atletica. Nelle ultime quattro stagioni Del Piero non ha avuto infortuni e lo scorso anno saltò soltanto due allenamenti su 224, lavorando in grande autonomia con il proprio staff personale. Con il ritorno di Massimo Neri, il preparatore di fiducia di Capello, pare che la società abbia chiesto al capitano di seguire in parte i programmi comuni. Resta il fatto che fino a domenica Del Piero non aveva partecipato a partite ufficiali. Soltanto con il Bologna, Ferrara lo ha mandato in campo negli ultimi minuti, perché aiutasse la squadra a tenere palla più che per permettergli di raggiungere le 400 partite in serie A: non è stata un’esperienza positiva, il Bologna ha ottenuto il pareggio e sebbene Del Piero non abbia avuto alcuna parte nel mezzo flop bianconero è sorto il dubbio che sarebbe stato meglio tenerlo in panchina e inserire un tipo alla Poulsen per puntellare il centrocampo affaticato. Come ha detto Alex, «è un momento non positivo».


One more thing: Alex himself hopes to be back by November 9th.

He didn't die, he's injured. Lets not be so dramatic. We can easily survive 6-7 weeks without him. Lets just hope that this will be it, it won't last more than a month and a half and he'll be ready for the rest of the season.

Are you sure? because our forward line is looking more and more terrible by the minute.

Once Diego is totally fit and Trez who's regaining his touch by each game he plays, we'll be good with the Diego-Trez-Iaq trio

 

[abejaa]

I think Ciro should consider Giovinco as his replacement for this 3-4 weeks until he comes back... We should try him there... I really mis Alex

Someone pinch me, did I just witness "Jacklen" having different points of view on something?

Oh boy, Alex is out for another month. :angry2:



It says that in training he felt a pain in his thigh and they did imaging on his leg, which revealed a problem (medical terms I don't understand). It means he will not play for 30-40 days.

fuuuck

nah...trez, iq and amauri can handle it imo...

 

[Salvatore]

Looks like we have a problem with the medical\therapist staff we have.

Or is it more to do with the training which is injuring our players?

 

[rounder]

This a another blow for the team. However, I like the way we have managed so far without Del piero. I mean, not too long ago, he was virtually our only creative force, now we don't suffer in that department anymore.

Amauri needs to be given moe chances, he's just going through a rough patch. He'll ge his form back eventually.

Yeah, i think we can manage. We'll be without our best player from the past seasons, but if we survived without 5-6 important players at the same time, then we can also survive without only one of them missing, even if he's the best of them all.
Luckily there will be a 2 week pause during his injury (NT matches) and also, the CL match(es) he'll miss will be against Maccabi.
We only need Diego in good form and i'm pretty sure that Del Piero's absence won't be really felt in these 4-5 serie A matches following.

So why doesn't he just go back to using his personal trainer? Can't he swing that?

very interesting...i think ale needs a personal trainer...it worked out well in the last two season, so why did they stop it?

i'd prefer if he got injured in another place and not in the thigh again...i'm afraid that this stupid injury, from the stupid match in villar perosa, will become one of those injuries that will make is career shorter...

BTW, november 9th is of course his 35 birthday

 

[Luftwaffles]

Get well soon Capitano!!

Thankfully, we have a squad to handle the injury situations like this now.

 

[Elvin]

Yeah, i think we can manage. We'll be without our best player from the past seasons, but if we survived without 5-6 important players at the same time, then we can also survive without only one of them missing, even if he's the best of them all.

This post made me feel better. Respect, Al

I don't exactly know what's happening either, didn't even know he wasn't training with his personal coach anymore.
The writer of the article did make a few assumptions though, so I'm not sure it is 100% correct, but La Stampa is usually quite reliable.

"I'll be back"

He'll be back...like always.
