Money is not everything. My ambition was football itself, not the money I’d make from it. If that brings me and my family a more comfortable lifestyle, then that’s fine. But I don’t spend my time between games and training sessions thinking about figures. – Alessandro Del Piero
As far as our fans are concerned, I’m the only one who counts; along with my teammates, obviously. – Alessandro Del Piero
I’m the leading scorer in the cup, and that’s lovely, but don’t forget this is also a great moment for the whole squad, when the two things coincide you can’t ask for more. – Alessandro Del Piero
Luckily, thanks to the way my parents taught me, I think I can handle the fame in the right manner. – Alessandro Del Piero
Italy have plenty of high-quality players. Newcomers need time to get adjusted to the set-up and the system of play. I’m very young, and although I think I have shown good quality in my international games, I realise that there are plenty of others competing for places. – Alessandro Del Piero
