Del Piero shows title caution
Tuesday 14 March, 2006
Juventus captain Alessandro Del Piero insists that his club still haven’t done enough to retain Lo Scudetto.
The Bianconeri are now expected to win their 29th League title after Sunday’s 0-0 draw against nearest rivals Milan left them 10 points clear with nine games to go.
But the cautious Italian international maintains that he and his teammates have a few more games to win yet.
“It is right and obvious for the newspapers to say that we’ve won it, but we know that our march is not complete,” he warned.
The No 10 started the Delle Alpi showdown on the bench and even his introduction at half-time failed to add any spark to a very tactical battle.
“The poor state of the pitch hampered both sides out there,” defended the club legend. “It was a tough game but the result saw us maintain our advantage and we are therefore very satisfied.”
Del Piero is now obviously aiming to collect his seventh Scudetto and his second Champions League, yet he has one eye on his summer holiday.
“I hope to go to Germany and I hope that Italy have a great World Cup,” said the man who should be selected in Marcello Lippi’s squad.
“I prefer to not say that I will play, but I believe in my qualities and I aim to give my best every time I step on to the field of play.”
