Today is a very important day in my Sydney FC life. The club, my coach and my team mates have decided to honour me with captain's armband for the forthcoming season...

I haven't posted a lot of late, however today is an important day. Today marks 20 years to the day the great man played his first match for Juventus.

Grazie Ale!

Fuck off, Totti. Ale was treated much, much better than him. It's just Roma were afraid of him, while Ale was respected here. There's a big difference.

His type of footballer doesn't exist any more. People are motivated by money and not loyalty or respect for the club and fans. Fair play to Hamsik he could have left for Milan 3 years ago but chose to stay at Napoli for the fans and out of loyalty. Alex is literally the nicest and most modest person i have seen. I remember when Merda won the trepple he congratulated them even though it was undeserved.

A good beginning makes a good ending

Here in Sydney we are getting ready for the new championship. We are training hard to find the best form and to grow together in all senses, to continue our way started during the summer camp in Jesolo. On Sunday we'll be playing the last friendly match of this season, and our championship starts on the 1st of October: we'll do our best to be the protagonists right from the beginning and to leave behind all the negative experience of the last season, making a fresh start.

A good beginning makes a good ending, you know… it's important to start well, but also to keep up the pace right till the last decisive part of the season, that in Australia is a period of playoff. I'm the captain of the team and surely I feel the responsibility for this adventure, my expectations fully correspond to those of my team mates and our fans: we want to have a great season.

By the way, talking about captain and "a good beginning", even being far away, I still follow a championship in Italy and Champions League, I always know Juventus' results and not only… Roma and my friend Francesco have had a great beginning of this new season. I'm happy Francesco has renewed the contract with the team of his heart, that's where he wants to end his playing career.

I wish you to write a lot of more wonderful pages in your book of glory...

Good luck Francesco and above all… Happy Birthday!!!

Alessandro
