"Yes, I felt bad"
Del Piero admits the displeasure for the goals stolen by Inzaghi

Florence - Del Piero confesses that, yes, he felt bad. "But everything is gone. The reactions in the heat of the moment are always intense: what me and Pippo have told each other stays between us".

The Venetian scene of the glutton Inzaghi, who's signed so much but on the 2-0 doesn't pass the ball to poor Del Piero, who instead doesn't score a goal from open play since October, 1998, and that, on a future crime directs little friendly words at his mate, has created two schools of thinking: the Freud one and the Franti one. The Freudians, lead by Ancelotti: "A striker's nature is that. To Del Piero it may seem strange that Inzaghi hadn't seen him, but Alex has a better vision of the game", the coach has argued, after having called both over the phone, implicitly admitting that the problem exists. As the Frantians sustain, who identify the striker on the deamicisiano* character of the mean Franti, Inzaghi hasn't passed the ball to Del Piero for three reasons: because with the three goals at Venezia, he's responded those of the new rival of the Italian team Montella; because Del Piero, Juventus mate, is a competitor also in the blue shirt; because the goals are worth a salary equalizing, and Inzaghi makes 4 billion less than the richer mate (10). "I was tired, little lucid. But our relationship doesn't change. I don't want to stop scoring, nor lose the place at the azzurri".

Del Piero forgives: "Not so bad that we were winning 2-0 and he's signed. What will I do if the roles are inverted? I don't know, I'll decide at that moment".

*De Amicis is a famous italian writer, author of "Cuore" a children book where the Franti character was.
