Cardiff - This time, his free kick - identical to that one on Saturday, at Napoli - didn't keep the squad from sinking. Better yet, his goal woke up the Italian squad for a moment, but it was not enough. Alessandro Del Piero has scored his twenty-seventh Italian goal, placing himself among Mazzola and Paolo Rossi, but he doesn't feel like celebrating. "When we lose, we are all responsible - he says -. I am upset just like the oothers." It is not the day of reckoning yet but the situation is not very good: "The way to the European Championship gets harder and harder. We must search our conscience and start again with conviction. We are all in the same boat."
