Del Piero hits back at Ferrara Friday 16 July, 2010
Juventus captain Alessandro Del Piero has hit back at Ciro Ferrara after his former team-mate and Coach criticised him in an interview last month.
Ferrara told La Gazzetta dello Sport that he thought Del Piero was a difficult character to deal with in the dressing room because he always wanted to play.
He also called the players 'donkeys' after they failed to turn their season around under Alberto Zaccheroni.
“I believe that that interview was done at a particularly emotional moment,” Del Piero said.
“I am not saying that to justify Ferrara's comments, but I believe it was like that. Certainly none of us at Juventus feel like donkeys.”
When asked if he did want to play all the time, Del Piero said: “The problem is if a player doesn't want to play.
“A player must do everything - obviously only on the pitch - to be a started. But I never asked anyone to start regularly. I only asked to be looked at without prejudice and that I be treated equal with the others. It's my way of thinking and of seeing the situation.
“If a player deserves to play, whether he be 18 or 36, he should play, because the best players should be on the pitch. The fundamental thing is that the team wins. I have always behaved correctly in the dressing room. For my part, there has always been maximum openness and the utmost desire to do well.”
Del Piero then turned his attention to the season ahead.
“We don't have particular objectives,” he said. “The only objective is to get to the end of the season proud of what we have done.
“We must concentrate on getting back to being Juve. In my opinion, this has to be the focal point of our season.”

Well said Ale
Ciro let me down, both as a coach and now as a man I used to like a lot.

I am wondering though what does Del Piero mean by this: "I only asked to be looked at without prejudice and that I be treated equal with the others."
Does he mean that he asked not to be favored by the coach and to be treated equal with the rest or not to be forgotten by the coach on the bench and to be given the chance the others are given.
If it's the former than it's class, if it's the latter then I really can't understand it. He is Del Piero. Did he really mean that he of all people will not be given a chance by Ciro Ferrara?
Ale really let me down with those comments. While what Ciro said was stupid, hitting back at him is unprofessional in its own right. Firstly, the players didn't really help either of the coaches during the previous season, secondly, a true professional would prove Ciro wrong on the pitch, and not during a press conference.
