Donadoni Tells Del Piero: You’re Going

The Golden Boy’ had been considered as a huge doubt for the finals in Austria and Switzerland because as well as having not played for Italy since September of last year, it had also been claimed that he did not fit in with Donadoni’s 4-3-3 tactical set-up.   Del Piero has been in simply stunning form in recent months though, and at the weekend took his Serie A goal tally up to 14 with the opener against Milan.   Yesterday the Italian press united to launch a campaign that the 33-year-old be taken to Euro 2008, and it seems that it may have had some effect.   Il Giornale today claims that Donadoni telephoned Del Piero to tell him that he will be boarding the plane to Austria and Switzerland.   The coach explained that his absence from the squad to play Spain last month had no bearing on his final 23-man selection as he wanted to take a look at some players he knew less about.   Donadoni is highly unlikely to confirm either way whether he did indeed call Del Piero, but these reports are sure to delight the legions of fans who are desperate to see the Juve number 10 go.

Forza Alex delpiero
