ALESSANDRO DEL PIERO is all smiles as he is presented to the media at the launch of the Australian A-League.
And why not Hes just met the opposition.
The Italian legend, 37, was presented to the media Down Under after signing for Sydney FC.
And he lined up for photos alongside England veteran Emile Heskey, who will play for Newcastle Jets, and Japan star Shinji Ono, who has signed for West Sydney Wanderers.
Del Piero, who made 705 appearances for Italian giants Juventus, played 70 minutes in a club trial last week.
And he insists he feels ready for his Sydney debut against Wellington this weekend.
Del Piero said: "I have to take time with the team but at the moment my fitness is good.
Im OK for the first match and I want to improve day by day.
Heskey meanwhile claimed he is ready to perform amid the expectations that come with being a star import.
He said: "Ive dealt with it from the age of 17.
Ive got over all the nerves before, playing for 17-18 years.
"The first five or six years I got nervous before I played but now I just cant wait to get in and get started.
