Del Piero: I’m Not A Reserve!

The Juve captain does not regret signing a contract extension with the Bianconeri.
Alessandro Del Piero believes that sooner or later things will change and he will win back his first team spot with the Turin-based club.
“I don’t feel the reserve of Ibrahimovic or of Trezeguet: it’s still early. Right now they are playing, but it’s just friendlies. We have ahead of us many friendlies and Capello is doing well in trying out different solutions."
Del Piero does not regret of staying in Turin, even with the transfer speculation that Antonio Cassano is bound to join the Italian champions soon.
“Sincerely, when I signed I thought about the nice things: I’m proud to be playing for so many years in a club like Juve, that I faced thousand battles with this squad and that I won a lot.
“With regards to Cassano, I was not surprised with Lapo Elkann’s comments: he’s a very extrovert guy, different from the others of his family. However, I would not have a problem if he arrived: there are neither fears nor worries. There is no dualism with him, and despite the transfer rumours, it seems to me that Antonio is still a Roma player.”
