After coming back from his vacations a few days ago, Alessandro Del Piero speaks to the press again. He does it with frankness, like he is used to. And so, just like Vieri has done, here is the criticism levelled at Trapattoni.

The bianconero attacker wasn't satisfied with Italy's attitude at the World Cup as well.

Just like the nerazzurro striker, Del Piero would have liked to see a more offensive team on the field. "This national team had so many attackers and they haven't been used; we could have done it because our defense, our midfield and our goalkeeper allowed us to be more bold. I don't understand why we played the qualifiers in one way, and then everything changed at the World Cup. It's a pity because I was in shape, I could have played more and give something more to the squad. However, this is not a criticism, I just want to say my opinion. There is a nice dialogue with Trapattoni, we'll talk it through."
