Hey, convincing myself?
Del Piero had a horrible season. He didn't score much in the Serie A, his club didnt win the Scudetto. In the European thing he messed up two great chances. This does not mean he is a BAD striker. If Italy had won that game people would just say: "oh well Del Piero had a bad game but who gives a sh1t Italy won."
Now because Wiltord managed to score in the 40 seconds that were left, and killed Italy's composure, and Italy lost the match, Del Piero's misses mattered so much more. That's the difference. Del Piero may never come back to his BEST, but he will be BACK, i believe this. It's not OVER for him, it's just not going to be sweet heaven with flowers and candy.
Del Piero screwed up, but it just doesn't mean it's over for him. I am not convincing myself, i believe this.
