Florence - The goal therapy really made him relax. But that is not enough for Del Piero, who looks for concrete indications that his is a new beginning, filled with important ambitions: "The goals make you relax for a few days, but you must know that your objective is bigger and that scoring once is not enough to be calm".

The juventino attacker has other purposes: "My aim is to win something this year". At Coverciano, where the Italy retreat waits for him after the meeting between referees, coaches and captains, Del Piero looked happy also about the words Gianni Agnelli had for him yesterday: "His words show his attention towards me. I hope this attention continues".

Finally in shape, then, after a difficult summer? "The same thing was said by the end of the last championsip. Then the problems started again. But time passes...". However, now he enjoys the positive outcome of the Venezia game: "It happened as I expected and I believe it will go on like this". Is there any secret on the post-Zidane Juventus? "No, no secret. It's been a great match, but it's also the first step of a very long way. It was important to get off to a good start: we are brave and strong".

And to those who ask him if he believes he's been living a delicate moment of his career, Del Piero answers that this "is a moment, a season, important for me and for the squad". About what will be his role on the field, he has no limits: could he play with Trezeguet and Salas? "Right. We've already tried this on the pre-season with Amoruso and Kovacevic. It's an alternative".
