Alessandro Del Piero arrives in Australia after joining Sydney FC
The 37-year-old - who will earn £1.3million a season - emerged from the Australian customs area with his family late Sunday morning and was met by hundreds of chanting and cheering fans lined up behind metal security barriers,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych]. And His arrival was televised live across the country,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych].
'I am here not for the end of my career but for the start of my new career,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych],' said Del Piero, the biggest signing in the history of Australian football.
Del Piero made a few comments in Italian and was taken from the airport to a downtown hotel where he planned to rest with his wife, Sonia,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], and their three children after the 20-hour trip from Italy via Singapore.
And Del Piero will join his first training session with his new team-mates on Tuesday.
Piero-mania! The fans push forward to get a glimpse of their hero arriving with his wife (below)
Del Piero,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], a member of Italy's 2006 World Cup-winning team and who scored a club-record 286 goals for Juventus,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], is expected to help bring greater exposure - and spectators - to the struggling A-League, which has suffered from declining crowds and the folding of two teams in the past two seasons.
His decision to play in Australia is being compared with David Beckham's impact on the game in the United States when he signed with the Los Angeles Galaxy,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych].
Sydney chief executive Tony Pignata,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], who traveled to Turin nearly two weeks ago to get Del Piero's signature on the contract,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], said he was pleased with the response of fans - more than 2,000 club memberships have been sold since Del Piero's contract was signed.
Pignata also said 15,000 Sydney FC jerseys with Del Piero's No 10 and name on the back had been manufactured and were selling fast,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], with orders from around the world.
Tickets for Sydney's first home match at the 45,000-seat Sydney Football Stadium on Oct. 13 have not yet gone on sale. A Sydney official said although the match was unlikely to be a sellout - 'that's a big call' - it could be the team's biggest first-match crowd in its history.
Del Piero's first official public appearance in Sydney is expected next Sunday - Sept. 23 - when the players will be handed their jerseys for the upcoming season.
His first game for Sydney could be against Newcastle next Saturday,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], a preseason match scheduled to be played in the Central Coast town of Budgewoi north of Sydney. However, if Del Piero plays, it is expected to be moved to a larger stadium at nearby Gosford.
Sydney plays its first-round match of the new A-League season at Wellington, New Zealand on Oct. 6.
Average attendance in the A-League dropped from a high of 14,600 in 2007-08 to as low as 8,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych],400 in 2010-11, although it increased to 10,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych],500 last season.
North Queensland Fury folded in 2010 and Gold Coast United in 2011, but the league will return to 10 teams with the addition of the Western Sydney Wanderers this season.
Regardless of what he does on the field on his aging legs,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], the deal has made Del Piero the highest paid athlete in Australia's four football codes,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], which also includes rugby league, rugby union and Australian Rules.相关的主题文章：
