Juventus icon Del Piero intent on contributing to Delhi Dynamos success

Alessandro Del Piero has made it clear that he is only focused on achieving Hero Indian Super League success with Delhi Dynamos.

The 40-year old Italian striker is gearing up for his side's clash with FC Goa on Thursday and insists his only emphasis is worrying about the fate of the club who currently sit second bottom on the ISL table.

"My mind is completely concentrated on tomorrow's match and we have to win," said Del Piero who is yet to score in seven appearances for the Dynamos.

Del Piero was quizzed further on whether or not he felt he had performed well in the ISL but further added that he would reserve that judgment for after the tournament had been completed.

"I will address that at the end of the season as right now my only focus is on tomorrow's game," he added.

"My current target is to play with my team and assist them in every way."

Delhi have recorded just seven points from seven outings in the inaugural ISL campaign and could move up to fifth if they defeat bottom-placed Goa at the Jawaharlal Nehru Stadium in New Delhi.
