ALESSANDRO Del Piero would leap at the chance of playing in another World Cup, after Italy coach Cesare Prandellis dramatic admission that the Sydney FC star could be considered for the Azzuri squad in Brazil next year. Seven years after his shoot-out penalty helped Italy win the World Cup in Germany, and five years since his last appearance for his country, Del Piero was delighted to hear Prandelli hold the door open to a recall for him and Francesco Totti. His halo never more polished in Italy after Sydney's three-week camp in the town of Jesolo, Del Piero said it would be "a great moment" if he was to earn inclusion in Prandelli's World Cup squad. Italy currently lead Group B of the European qualifying programme for Brazil by four points from Bulgaria, whom they face next in a home game where victory would put them within touching distance of direct qualification. "I'm very proud about that because I try to push my best every single moment," Del Piero said in response to Prandelli's comments. It's good for me and my team mates at Sydney FC and we will see what happens. It doesn't matter if I don't go but it would be a great moment because I will be at 38 years old, almost 39. Earlier in the week Prandelli had raised eyebrows in Italy by publically pondering the recall of three veterans for his campaign should Italy seal qualification. "In March and April we will have a look at the condition of certain players like Francesco Totti, Antonio Di Natale and even Alex Del Piero," he told Sky Sport Italia. We are following all players who can make a difference, Alex still has a great desire and we have to keep an eye on everyone. Sydney rounded off their Italian adventure with a 2-2 draw against Serie B side AS Reggiana, with the Italian team emerging victorious 6-5 in a penalty shoot out. Del Piero missed the game through a minor injury, though club officials said he would be back in full training with Sydney on September 9. The striker revealed earlier on Twitter he would not participate in the match, stating: "I'm sorry, but after my last control I was not given the ok for the match against Reggina. But I will still be at the stadium tonight. Of more concern is the calf injury suffered last week by Pedj Bojic, with the right back to receive scans on it after Sydney return to Australia on Saturday. Two goals down at halftime in their final game in Italy, the Sky Blues rallied after the break and scored twice through Corey Gameiro and Nick Carle to complete a record of three wins, two losses and a draw in their six games in Italy. Meanwhile Western Sydney secured a 2-1 win over Wellington Phoenix on Wednesday night, thanks to a late brace from new signing Brendon Santalab. Newcastle Jets also recorded a victory, 3-0 over the Canberra NPL All-Stars on the same night.
