I cannot understand how Donadoni would prefer any SS (Di Natale or Palladino) to Del Piero. He is the most outstanding and in-form SS in Serie A and he's bagging goals all to often for him to be left out.

I've to agree, I do prefer Alex certainly over Palladino and probably even over Di Natale. But the problem with Del Piero is that he can't play in the scheme Donadoni uses. He's not the kind of player that runs as a winger to cover and help the CM's, so I think he will be left out of the italian team for Euro08

Juventus captain Alessandro Del Piero believes he deserves an Italy recall for Euro 2008 after scoring 18 goals in Serie A this season.


The World Cup winner has not played for his country since giving a poor performance in a goalless qualifying match against France in September.


But calls to bring him back have been mounting as the forward has been instrumental in helping third-placed Juventus secure a Champions League qualification slot on their return to the top flight after relegation over the 2006 match-fixing scandal.

'I think I have deserved (a place at) the European championships with a beautiful season,' Del Piero told Juve's in-house TV channel. 'In the end (Italy coach Roberto) Donadoni will calmly make his selection and he'll bank on those who deserve it.'

Donadoni said last week that on current form Del Piero had a strong case for a place in his squad.

The 33-year-old has scored 27 goals in 85 internationals.
