Del Piero's plan is to carry on playing

Del Piero's most recent competitive game was his final appearance for Sydney FC when they were bundled out of the A-League finals by Melbourne Victory in April.

He is back in Australia to skipper the A-League All Stars against Juventus at ANZ Stadium on Sunday.

"I don't think so," he said when asked if this could be his last game.

"It could be my last game in Australia. My plan is to play on. Now I have to choose what is the best for me with the opportunities I have but I want to play on."

"There's nothing concrete, that's why I can't tell you no more at the moment," he said.

"I have been following my passion since I was 19 years old and I always follow my passion," Del Piero said.

"But I think I'm in good shape to play on again to play for one more year. And this is my ideas.

"At the end of the day it's not an easy moment for me to understand what is best to do because I have more options coming for outside the pitch rather than on the pitch.

"After this game I will sit with my family, my manger everyone and I will decide what is the best for me and I hope, play on."
