This is the theory we all used to hear from the beginning of the season. people used to say we should start with Iaquinta to tire the opponents and then add Ale to the match to kill 'em. But at the end it was obvious that Ale could start and still kill the opponent. I don't know what more he could have done to prove that he has the full 90 minutes in his legs besides he had been a better player than both Di Natale and Cassano this season. He definitely MUST start though I don't see it happens because of Donadoni.
Not only he has proved that he can play 90min, but he has also proved that likes of Di Natale and even Cassano shouldn't really have a chance and compete with him.
But this will never change, it's more like a mexican serial movie, the same dilemma we keep hearing same BS.
I'm not pointing out this to Andries, because I know he doesn't think this way. But anyone who still insist that Del Piero hasn't got 90min in his feet is a retarded prick and should probably learn a thing or two about this game.
IF the coach of italian national team is ranieri and using 2 striker up front partnering del piero with Trezegue who have played together for years, then only i would say del piero is the most in form player of the squad. But as the reality is concerened, Quaqralieorsomehing has made more impact in qualifying than Del Piero.
Romario has made an impact and the only one who helped Brazil to qualify to the WC 06, yet Ronaldo was chose because Ronaldo is Ronaldo and you need champions and world class players in your squad.
Del Piero hadn't had too much of an impact because he wasn't used properly in this team. When you have champions in your team, world class players, you build the formation relying on every player's position.....not as the coach's wish.
If i am in donadoni position, i would pick players who have performed and get result under my watch, my tactic, my direction, my assigned position than someone who failed to follow my direction but performed excellant a club level undersomebody else's managment. Its not as if Donadoni did not gave him the opportunity. He did and alex and inzaghi failed. He triedsomeone else and they succeed. itsjust as simple as that.
Imagine you play Paolo Maldini as a winger? You expect him to pass or to fail? What about Mauro Camoranesi as a CB? What do you expect him? to pass right?
Del Piero was playing in a position he isn't used to and against whom? FRANCE??? give me a fucking break. What failure are you talking about. Play him in his natural position and then judge his performance....But don't play him out of position and then say he has failed you.
Donadoni is anything but a coach, like I said, you build your squad depending on what kind of champions you have. Team such as Italy, having players on Cannavaro's level to Del Piero and Buffone tc....World champions If I'm not mistaken, you create the formation that suits these champions, not because you like the 4-3-3 you play one out of his position.
The time for will-he-succed-or-will-he-not-succed-experiment is over. The qualifying is over. now is he actual tournament. WE must not break the winning team. No use changing the whole working philoshophy of the team just for sentimental reason of accomodating one primadona. I say take Del Piero to EURO but use him only as backup if Plan A failed. if he can win the spot then Plan B is there to stay. If not,its back to the bench for PLan B.
Winning team? lol, yea right. Lithuania, Georgia, Ukraine wouldn't really agree with you on this.
