Alessandro Del Piero can’t wait to face Juventus for the A-League All-Stars in Sydney. “My story, my life.”

The Bianconeri continue their pre-season tour and landed in Australia, where they will take on former captain Del Piero.

“I feel great enthusiasm during these days in Sydney,” he wrote on his official website.

“A lot of things to do, lots of people to see, tons of goodbyes, autographs, handshakes, and above all there’s trainings before the match I'll be playing on Sunday in All Stars A-League jersey 'against' Juventus.

“I'd never believe in coincidences, especially if we talk about these two colours, that are so close, black-n-white, my story, my life. To make it short, from that 13th of May 2012 at Juventus Stadium, it all can be described in two words, One Love.

“I can't be happier to have an opportunity to say goodbye on the pitch to all my fans, and not only to those of Sydney FC – that in two years of my fabulous Australian experience surrounded me with a lot of passion, respect and love.

“I'd like to thank all, and I'll do it from the place I love most, where I feel at home: on the pitch. Sunday will be also a day to look back just for a moment and see a great team, to realize once again how much the Australian football movement has grown from all points of view.

“I'm particularly happy to have contributed in the last two years in this development, that I'm sure won't stop.

“So, see you on Sunday… I'll be waiting for you at the stadium or those who won't be there can watch the match on TV, I want to say goodbye and virtually hug you all.

“PS. I know, that on the other side of the pitch, with another jersey will be Juventus… But is it really necessary to explain what it means to me?”

Del Piero also spoke at a gala charity event attended by Juventus and the All-Stars in Sydney.

“It will be a little strange, but I am happy to take part in this event. I don’t know if we can win, but we’ll certainly run hard.

“Maybe my ex-teammates will be a little tired from their journey, or if they want to go out the night before the match I can recommend a few places…”
