Juve deny Del Piero feud
Juventus general manager Luciano Moggi has dismissed speculation that has suggested the club are in dispute with striker Alessandro Del Piero.
The talismanic figure has failed to rediscover the type of form that once made him one of Europe's finest and has faced continual criticism in his homeland.
However, Moggi has backed the player to return from this indifferent patch - citing a tendon injury as the source of this latest loss of form.
''If Del Piero isn't in good condition it is because of a tendon injury,'' claimed Moggi.
''Until he was unfit he played well. The physical problems have jeopardised his preparation but we are convinced he will recover soon.''
Del Piero took up a place on the bench in Juve's UEFA Champions League clash on Tuesday, with Sweden international Zlatan Ibrahimovic winning a starting berth.
Speculation has suggested Del Piero is uncomfortable with the arrival of Ibrahimovic, but again, Moggi denies this claim.
''It isn't true that Del Piero suffers from Ibrahimovic's presence,'' continued Moggi.
''It's an advantage being close to big champions. The club is close to Del Piero but before being a champion, he is a man.
''He knows what to do to face these situations. He will be back to the player we know.''

yeah, let's start this foolish argueing again, I bet that DP won't leave, but should he leave?! Not in my opinion, but I bet that some of you disagree (come on aressandro!)
