Soccer-In form Del Piero convinced he can make Euro 2008

03-15-2008
Juventus captain Alessandro Del Piero said on Friday he was convinced he could force his way into Italy coach Roberto Donadoni's Euro 2008 squad.

"Donadoni wants responses on the field and I know I can give them to him," Del Piero, who has scored 11 goals in Serie A this term, told a news conference.

"I'm aware of the beautiful season I've had up to now and I want to finish even better. Then the coach has the freedom to make the choices he feels most appropriate. I must continue as I am."

The 33-year-old striker has not played for Italy since giving a lacklustre showing in September's 0-0 draw with France in a Euro 2008 qualifier.
