The day after the incredible home draw vs. Siena, Alessandro Del Piero still feels the regret. For the result, and for the party for his 300 goals (now 301!) spoiled by the Tuscans comeback.
The captain spoke about it through his personal official internet site www.alessandrodelpiero.com, dwelling a lot on the celebrations his wife Sonia and his friends organized for him on the stands: «The idea of the T-shirts with number 300 on them was a great surprise, I did not know anything about it, and also of number 301 on the back: ingenious! It was incredible to look up at the stand where Sonia was, with my son Tobias and my friends and see them celebrate with me. Unfortunately the party lasted too little».
After about ten minutes. The time enough to shove off, and get the 3-0, before suffering the comeback of Siena, convinced to play all his chances also at the Olimpico Stadium. «I hoped – Del Piero said – I’d have celebrated this target by a victory. I often repeat that the goal, even if “necessary” for a forwarder, it’s not worthy if after that you don’t achieve a good result as a team. Unfortunately the result we have built by an extraordinary match start, has been frustrated by Siena comeback, therefore we find ourselves speaking about our mistakes and about the occasion we missed, even though with the will to redeem, immediately, and restart from those starting minutes».
Three hundreds one and I do not feel them! The date of 14th march 2010, join an imaginary thread to that of 22nd of November 1993, the day Del Piero scored his first goal as a professional, in Serie B, with Padova T-shirt. The captain answer is a further stimulus also for the next matches. «At the end of the match they asked me what changed and what stayed the same since the day of my first goal as a professional. I answered that the will to improve is still the same, as the winning one. And this must be a stimulus also to recover from the disappointment, starting from the next match vs. Fulham».
