Mungkin A-League memang tempat yang pas bagi Del Piero untuk mengakhiri karir sepakbolanya dengan bahagia

Sydney Mengubah Sikap Del Piero




SYDNEY, KOMPAS.com — Istri Alessandro Del Piero, Sonia, mengungkapkan bahwa suaminya bahagia di Sydney FC. Di kota Australia itu, Del Piero juga mulai berubah sikap. Dia lebih santai dan mulai menunjukkan bakat menarinya.

Del Piero dikenal pendiam dan tenang. Namun, ternyata tidak di keluarganya. Setelah berada di Sydney karena kontraknya di Juventus tak diperpanjang, dia mulai sedikit berubah.

"Orang tak menyadari betapa lucunya dia dan betapa dia sangat bagus dalam menangkap kesan. Dia juga penari yang hebat dan mampu memperagakan moonwalk (tarian ala Michael Jackson) dengan indah!" ungkap Sonia kepada surat kabar olahraga Italia, La Gazzetta dello Sport.

"Kebahagiaan terbesarnya ialah saat mencetak gol dan timnya menang. Saya selalu mengatakan hal itu (kebahagiaan Del Piero) setelah sepak bola, anak-anak, dan golf. Dia ayah yang sangat lucu. Ketika dia pulang, anak-anak mulai mengabaikan saya," lanjut Sonia.

"Apakah Sydney mengubah banyak hal? Saya kira tak banyak meski Ale (panggilan Del Piero) mulai sedikit berubah. Dia tipe orang yang berpikir seribu kali sebelum berbicara. Akan tetapi, lingkungan Sydney membuatnya lebih santai. Saya bahagia akan hal itu," katanya.

Menurut Sonia, tak hanya Del Piero yang bahagia di Sydney. Dia dan anak-anaknya juga mampu menikmati Australia, terutama Kota Sydney.

"Saya tak takut ketika akan tiba di Sydney karena pikiran saya sudah tahu bahwa kami akan pindah meninggalkan Turin. Dekat atau jauh tentu akan membuat sedikit perbedaan," ungkapnya.

"Ini kota yang mengagumkan meski saya tak mengerti banyak sebelumnya. Anak-anak kami masih terlalu kecil sehingga mereka dengan mudah beradaptasi tanpa masalah. Bahkan, mereka menganggap ini sebagai liburan panjang, pergi ke pantai, kebun binatang, dan menyaksikan akuarium," tuturnya.

"Saya juga sudah mulai belajar mengendarai mobil dengan setir kiri. Dengan internet, saya bisa berkomunikasi dengan teman-teman atau bahkan membantu mengatur belanja," tutupnya.

A-League mulai dilirik pemain-pemain lawas 90an nih

Vieri Berminat ke Australia?


TURIN, KOMPAS.com - Eks bomber Juventus, Inter Milan, dan Atletico Madrid, Christian Vieri, berminat ke Australia. Apakah ia akan mengikuti jejak Alessandro Del Piero berlaga di A-League?

"Italia telah kehilangan seorang juaranya. Tapi, aku tahu pasti, Alex senang dan keputusannya harus dihormati," sebut Bobo, sapaan Vieri, kepada Calcio News.

Kedua pesepak bola itu pernah semusim menjadi rekan seklub kalah membela panji "Si Nyonya Besar" dan memenangi scudetto 1997. Kolaborasi kedua pemain itu di timnas Italia terentang delapan tahun dan hasil paling manis adalah trofi runner-up Euro Belgia-Belanda 2000.

"Berpindah ke negara lain itu sulit, tapi Australia adalah tempat yang lebih baik dan Alex telah memilihnya dengan tepat," ucap Vieri yang pernah menjadi el pichichi alias top scorer Liga BBVA 1998 bersama Atletico.

Bobo dan Ale --panggilan lain Del Piero-- juga masih berhubungan sekarang.

"Kadang kami bertukar pesan singkat, secepatnya saya akan mengunjunginya di Sydney," tandas Bobo lagi.

Uniknya, pria berusia 39 tahun itu lahir di Australia. Mungkin itu sebabnya Bobo bisa mengemukakakn alasan "Negeri Kanguru" adalah tempat yang tepat bagi Ale.

Bukam tak mungkin keduanya akan berkolaborasi kembali di A-League, meski Vieri sudah tak berlaga di lapangan hijau lagi sejak 2009.

Wah timnya Del Piero kalah telak ...

Tanpa Del Piero, Sydney Dipermalukan Mariners 2-7

Penulis: L Sastra Wijaya

SYDNEY, KOMPAS.com - Pelatih klub Sydney FC Ian Crook meminta maaf kepada para pendukung klub tersebut setelah mereka dipermalukan 2-7 oleh Central Coast Mariners dalam lanjutan Liga Australia (A-League) hari Sabtu malam. Ini merupakan kekalahan terburuk yang pernah dialami Sydney yang turun tanpa bintang utama mereka Alessandro Del Piero.

Del Piero diistirahatkan karena cedera hamstring yang memang sudah mengganggu persiapan bintang asal Italia tersebut dalam beberapa minggu terakhir. "Kami harus meminta maaf kepada para pendukung Sydney, yang sudah melakukan perjalanan untuk menonton kami di Stadion Bluetonge,Gosford, hampir 80 kilometer dari Sydney.

"Melihat kami dipermalukan 2-7 seperti ini, susah mengatakan apa yang terjadi. Bukan karena kami tidak berusaha tetapi memang Mariners menghukum para pemain kami semalam." kata Crook. Kekalahan terburuk Sydney sebelumnya adalah ketika kalah 0-5 melawan Melbourne Victory di tahun 2005.

Menurut laporan koresponden Kompas di Australia, L. Sastra Wijaya, selain Del Piero, Sydney FC juga tidak bisa menurunkan beberapa pemain utama karena cedera, namun pelatih Ian Crook mengatakan itu bukan menjadi alasan. Bila Del Piero tidak turun ke lapangan, penampilan bintang baru lainnya, Shinji Ono di Western Sydney Wanderers memancing kontroversi menyusul tackle yang dilakukan pemain Jepang tersebut dalam pertandingan melawan Melbourne Heart.

Wanderers akhirnya menang 2-1 atas Heart, namun pelatih Heart John Aloisi mengatakan seharusnya Shinji Ono mendapatkan kartu merah ketika dia melakukan tackle berbahaya terhadap Jason Hoffmann. Sepatu Ono menghantam lutut Hoffmann dan kemudian pemain kedua klub saling dorong menyusul insiden tersebut.

Ono hanya mendapatkan kartu kuning, dan kemudian menjadi salah satu pemain penting guna menentukan kemenangan pertama Wanderers selama musim ini. Sementara itu, Emile Heskey tidak berhasil membawa klubnya Newcastle Jets menang.

Setelah sebelumnya mencetak dua gol dalam tiga pertandingan, Heskey gagal menembus gawang Perth Glory dan kalah 2-3 di kandang sendiri .

Frank Farina Tangani Klub Sydney FC

Penulis: L Sastra Wijaya



SYDNEY, KOMPAS.com -- Mantan pelatih timnas Australia Frank Farina telah diangkat untuk menjadi pelatih klub sepakbola Sydney FC. Farina yang sekarang menjadi pelatih timnas Papua Nugini dianggap memiliki pengalaman cukup untuk bisa menangani Sydney, terutama sejak datangnya mantan bintang Juventus Alessandro Del Piero.

"Ini kesempatan yang bagus," ujar Farina, Rabu (28/11/2012). "Banyak perhatian ditujukan ke Sydney FC sekarang ini, dan saya bersemangat untuk kembali ke Sydney guna bekerja sama dengan para pemain dan staf untuk menciptakan suasana dimana kami bisa memenangkan pertandingan," tambah Farina.

Pengalamannya sebagai pelatih dan juga kemampuannya menangani nama-nama besar menjadi alasan utama Farina dipilih guna menangani Sydney, yang dikenal dengan julukan The Sky Blues. "Kami percaya Frank memiliki pengalaman dan kepemimpinan untuk memberi dampak positif segera bagi Sydney FC," kata direktur klub Sydney FC Scott Barlow, seperti dilaporkan harian The Daily Telegraph.

Sydney kehilangan pelatih Ian Crook tiga minggu lalu setelah mengalami beberapa kali kekalahan, antara lain 2-7 melawan Central Coast Mariners, dan juga tekanan yang dihadapi Crook terutama dari media sejak kedatangan Alessandro Del Piero.

Saat ini, Sydney FC menduduki peringkat terbawah Liga Australia (A-League), dengan hanya menang 2 kali dari 8 pertandingan, dan mengumpulkan 6 angka. Mereka kalah dalam empat pertandingan terakhir berturut-turut, 2-7 dari Central Coast Mariners, 2-3 melawan Melbourne Victory, 2-4 dari Brisbane Roar, dan 1-2 dari Adelaide United 24 November lalu.

Frank Farina menangani timnas Australia antara tahun 1998-2005 dan sebagai pemain, dia 67 kali memperkuat timnas dari tahun 1984 sampai 1995.

Koresponden Kompas di Australia, L Sastra Wijaya melaporkan, pengangkatan Farina ini terjadi di saat Alessandro Del Piero dan kapten Sydney Terry McFlynn menyerukan kepada pemain dan pendukung Sydney untuk bersatu di tengah krisis yang dialami klub tersebut saat ini. "Ini memang masa-masa sulit namun kita harus tetap berpandangan positif." kata McFlynn. "Para pemain senior dan saya harus memberi contoh kepada pemain-pemain lain guna melewati masa-masa sulit ini."

Sementara itu, Del Piero di situs pribadinya meminta para pendukung Sydney untuk tetap kompak, dengan judul "Mari Kita Mulai Lagi" setelah kekalahan empat kali berturut-turut. "Kami memulai latihan di minggu yang paling penting, dan mungkin lebih bermakna dibandingkan yang sebelumnya. Pentingnya perilaku kita mulai hari ini ke depan didasarkan pada kenyataan bahwa ini adalah masa-masa sulit. Kita harus menunjukkan bahwa kita bisa melewatinya dengan baik," kata pemain asal Italia tersebut.

"Sebelum ke Sydney, saya sudah pernah mengalami hal seperti ini dan mungkin lebih buruk, dalam soal tekanan dan suasana yang bisa mempengaruhi tim. Kita harus punya percaya diri, kita tidak boleh menyerah begitu saja. Saya yakin kita akan berhasil. Kita hanya perlu bekerja keras dan berani mencoba tanpa rasa takut. Hasilnya pasti akan datang," tambah Del Piero.

EXCLUSIVE: He was hit and miss with English fans but they just love Heskey Down Under

Emile Heskey, resident of a town called Newcastle that is more than 10,000 miles away from home, was waiting in line at his local bank the other day when approached by an Englishman wearing a Stoke City shirt.

‘This guy comes up to me, and he says, “I just want to thank you for the 5-1 against Germany”. It was nice he remembered, that is certainly one of my best memories in football,’ reflected Heskey of the famous night in Munich in 2001 when the old enemy were dismantled.

In fact, since he moved to Newcastle Jets of Australia’s A-League at the end of the British summer, Heskey has received plenty of gratitude, which was not always the way during a long career in his own country.


Loving life Down Under: Emile Heskey is enjoying life with the Newcastle Jets

‘The reception for all the “marquee” players in this league seems to be exceptional,’ he said. ‘It’s been amazing because the main thing that people say is thank you for coming here. It seems a bit crazy that they think like that, it’s a bit of a privilege to be playing here in that respect.’

He nods — with a smile, it must be said — ‘It’s not something I have always experienced.’

Here in one of this vast country’s less fashionable but more important towns, 100 miles north of Sydney, Heskey is certainly appreciated. His arrival was marked by the club shifting 1,000 shirts with his name on in the first week.

So far he has scored eight goals for the Jets as they try to push towards the upper echelons of the A-League, one more than he managed in 62 appearances for England — the figure that made him one of the more maligned players of the past 20 years.



Heskey, now 35, is following a trail blazed most noticeably by his former Liverpool team-mate Robbie Fowler to a league where each team are allowed one ‘marquee’ player to be paid outside their salary cap.

The path from the UK to this part of the New South Wales coast is well-trod. Two hundred years ago men from the North East flocked here to work in the coal and steel industries and Newcastle now has the world’s busiest docks for the export of coal, with China the principal destination.


Getting to work: Heskey trains with the Newcastle Jets

How did Heskey, a native of Leicester whose Antiguan parents originally harboured hopes that he would be a top-class cricketer, end up here?

‘I think Robbie suggested me to them and I spoke to him, Dwight Yorke and Michael Bridges (his current team-mate) and they didn’t have a bad word to say about playing here,’ he said. ‘The CEO came to England and sold it to me. Michael has been here a long time and we’ve known each other since playing for England at Under 17 level. I’ve enjoyed it. I always wanted to play abroad, but I’ll admit I didn’t think it would be Australia.’

Heskey does seem happy and relaxed, and he does not mind reflecting on the fact that in England he was often valued far more by team-mates and managers — many astute judges bought him or picked him for England — than by some fans and commentators.


Head start: Heskey in action for the Newcastle Jets against the Western Sydney Wanderers

‘You’ve got to grow a thick skin and not feel sorry for yourself. I know how the game works and it’s not a problem for me.

‘I always just got on with life, but you do wonder how some people deal with it. For some players, I think criticism stops them going as far as they should do in the game. It’s easy to underestimate how much scrutiny players are under in England. Look at someone like Wayne Rooney — having to deal with it since he was 16.

‘I’ve seen players who’ve had just the odd game for England and the scrutiny has really affected them. Maybe one bad game and it makes them go backwards because they are unable to deal with the pressure. Clubs have to think hard about this side of things.


Star attractions: Heskey and Alessandro Del Piero are two of the big names in the A-League


Head to head: Heskey and Del Piero

‘My thinking was that as long as your peers are happy with you that’s all that matters. I’ve had players like Michael Owen, Rooney and Tony Cottee with whom I’ve forged good partnerships. Cottee’s probably nice about me because I did a lot of his running for him at Leicester!

Football is about the team winning the game, it doesn’t matter who scores, it’s who has won after 90 minutes, it’s 11 against 11. Players understand that.’

He treasures the time he spent playing alongside Owen.

‘We knew how each other worked — with Michael we just had this idea of where the other was. It helped that we started playing together when he was 16 at England level. It was his anticipation, he knew when I was going to win the ball and where it was going. It was weird, we had a sense of each other.


In the goal: Heskey scored 46 goals with the Foxes

‘Steve Claridge was one of the great characters I played with. We’d start training at half past 10 and he’d screech up at 10.25 fully kitted and run on to join us. The moment it finished he would run off and get into his car in his kit.

‘He was probably the worst trainer I’ve seen but I’ve never seen a runner like him. When you did the football drills it was like he was messing about but when you did the running he’d put on his serious face and he’d be off — leave everyone standing.’

Aside from the 5-1 in Munich, he recalls a Leicester play-off win early in his career against Crystal Palace as his favourite match because it was the last big one his grandmother saw him in before she passed away.


Moving on up: Gerard Houllier signed Heskey in 2000 for Liverpool


For club and country: Heskey and Michael Owen formed a good partnership for Liverpool and England

The football life is different in Australia and although the Jets can pull five-figure crowds they are only the second biggest attraction in Newcastle behind rugby league side the Knights.

‘I would say soccer is steadily growing here but it’s not the biggest sport,’ said Heskey.

‘It did surprise me how big the Premier League is here, people are into that.

‘There are some decent players in our league, there’s some good experience around and some of the younger players are promising. The stadiums have impressed me and you obviously need to be able to cope with the heat, but then the weather here is one of the great things about the country.’


Golden moment: Heskey scored in England's 5-1 win over Germany in 2001


Famous four: Heskey with fellow England goalscorers in the win over Germany, Steven Gerrard and Michael Owen as well as captain David Beckham

Heskey started off at a gallop with five goals in his first five games. While the slightly paunchy, 38-year-old Alessandro Del Piero grabs the most attention, the English centre forward made a big impact early in the season when he became the subject of the ‘Heskeycam’.

This followed him around the pitch for 90 minutes against Melbourne and he obliged with two goals. ‘I knew beforehand they were going to do it but once the game was under way I forgot all about it. I haven’t looked at a recording, but I did see the goals.’


Moving on: Heskey moved to Birmingham in 2004


Relegation battle: Heskey helped Wigan avoid the drop in 2007


Villain: Heskey joined Aston Villa in 2009

His children joined him for Christmas and New Year but have not moved out.

‘It’s difficult with the kids at schools in England. You don’t want to disrupt them. Skype and Facetime help. I set the alarm to get up and speak to them. I don’t want to get up in the middle of the night to watch English football so I record that. From a distance the Premier League can look a bit crazy, there doesn’t seem to be much stability at a lot of clubs.’

One day he plans to get his coaching badges and spent time studying the methods of Roberto Martinez at Wigan.

Heskey is trawling some of the game’s most southerly outposts, such as the New Zealand capital’s Wellington Phoenix, where he scored two weeks ago.
Retirement is at least two years off — for now he is happy to go to the ends of the earth to play football.

International news: Socceroos insists an Australian coach would be preferred choice

Chairman of the Football Federation of Australia Frank Lowy has quashed speculation linking Sir Alex Ferguson to the vacant Socceroos post, claiming a fellow Australian would be the desired choice.



German manager Holger Osieck helped Australia secure a spot in Brazil having successfully negotiated the Asian World Cup qualifying group.

However, back-to-back 6-0 defeats to Brazil and France in friendlies saw Osieck fired last weekend after three years in charge.

Despite former Manchester United and Australia goalkeeper Mark Bosnich calling for Ferguson to be brought out of retirement, Lowly insists the Football Federation of Australia are focused on looking internally.

"Our preference is clearly an Australian coach," the chairman of the FFA said.

"Three names are being talked about and it's not wrong that we have three possible Australian candidates."

Melbourne Victory coach Ange Postecoglou and former Socceroos assistant coach Graham Arnold appear to be leading the race to succeed Osieck, with a decision expecting in the next two weeks.

With only eight months until the 2014 World Cup and Australia set to host the Asian Cup in 2015, Lowy explained the FFA would be seeking to appoint a long-term replacement.

Osieck's departure follows a trend in Australian national teams with New Zealander Robbie Deans fired by the rugby union team after losing to the British and Irish Lions and South African Mickey Arthur losing his post as Australian cricket coach just weeks before the Ashes series in England.

In both instances, the Australian national sides opted for home-grown replacements.
