D'Alessandro in threat

"When I am sitting on the bench I feel that I am not useful to my team," he said. "I think that the coach of Zaragoza is being unfair with me because I deserved to start the year playing.

"I have to keep on working to play because that is the only thing I want to do, but if I am not going to be given that chance I would prefer to be transferred elsewhere."

Argentinian clubs San Lorenzo and River Plate have already showed interest in D'Alessandro, but Zaragoza officials have said that they do not want to let the player go.

"I know about the interest of River and that makes me feel good because I spent half of my life at that club," he continued.

"But I also appreciate Ramon Diaz, currently the coach of San Lorenzo, so it would be difficult for me to choose."
