Del Piero: France are favouritesJuventus star Alessandro Del Piero has told reporters that France should start the final as favourites to win Cup.
He said: 'I think France are slight favourites because they are certainly going into this game with less stress than us,'
'In France there isn't the same chaos that we have in Italy that involves our club sides and there isn't the same coverage from the press and television that we have,'
'It is really going to be a fascinating match, it couldn't be better than France v Italy, given that both sides have some incredible players, above all 'Zizou'. At this moment I think there aren't two teams better suited for a final than these two,'
When asked about his old Juventus team-mate Zidane he said: 'I had a very close friendship with him and he has been in magnificent form here although I hope just up until yesterday.
'As a footballer, I don't know what you can add to what everyone says about him - he is the absolute number one,'
He said: 'I think France are slight favourites because they are certainly going into this game with less stress than us,'
