Il Capitano Alessandro Del Piero (122 Viewers)

I think Sydney guys don't wanna play Ale, like little kids that don't want to open their new toy cause it's too pretty. They called-off another training match that was scheduled for tomorrow. I guess it means Ale won't get to play a pre-season match. I think they won't play him in the 1st match in NZ, this Crook guy, the coach, keep talking about it.

It wasn't Sydney who called off the pre season game, it was Central Coast's decision.

I reckon they will give Ale a 10-15 min cameo against Wellington. They will save him for the opening home game against Newcastle.

It sucks. He can play 90 mintues easily. Only 27 matches in the A-league season, let him play 'em all FFS.

It all depends on his physical condition though. The coaches are (rightly) being very cautious with him, imagine if he pulls up with a bad muscle injury in the first game and misses a few months? Its wise to take things slowly and make sure he is at 100%. Patience is the key.

It's better to have the debut at home anyway.

Agreed. Or at least in Australia at the very least...the first Sydney game is in New Zealand FFS.

How the $#@! are the kids blondish yo? WTF have you done, Nedved?

Stefano is blond.

My niece looks anything like her parents, she resemble my mother and sister (her aunt).

I think the kids are the kind of blonds that grow darker with age.

No doubt about that, but I believe he's ready. 3 months with his personal trainer, one more month with the Italian amateur team and 3 weeks of training with Syndey. I believe he can start the first match.

still no better name to put on a jersey

It's also the jet lag. They were talking about it on a football show here last night.


And the coach said on that show he will probably play as a #9 in a 4-3-3 first until he gets more match fitness.

 

[Bianconero_Aus]

Yeah Ian Crook (Sydney Coach) said that Del Piero struggled a bit with jet lag and has only now just settled into a good/healthy sleeping pattern.

so i got my copy of fifa 13 today and there is no Del Piero

I've even downloaded the latest updates and nothing....... i'm in dismay as i don't want to play with any other player.....

Am i just not looking in the right place?

 

[sallyinzaghi]

well they should at least feature ale for a bit in the match in NZ, else I'd sympathise with those who bought tickets just to see him

True, I always suffer for about a week whenever I travel to Indonesia from here. They even said jet lag from the trip to the east is the hardest and will make you slightly dumber in term of cognitive ability.
