Liverpool reportedly made a late offer to sign Del Piero last month after Sydney made their initial attempt to sign the Italian legend.
Reds boss Brendan Rodgers was in the market for attacking reinforcements after failing to bring in a replacement for Andy Carroll during the transfer window.
However, Del Piero, who was available on a free transfer after leaving Juventus, revealed he rejected overtures from Liverpool out of respect for the Heysel tragedy.
"Why I said no to Liverpool? Negotiations with Sydney were already advanced and then I thought about what had happened at Heysel," Del Piero told Gazzetta dello Sport.
"Juve and Liverpool were able to rebuild the relationship, but for many people that tragedy is an indelible memory. I thank all the clubs which wanted me, but I'm convinced of my choice."
Del Piero is settling into life in Australia, but he admits his departure from Juventus still wrangles with him after 19 years with the Turin giants.
"One month is not much to make judgments, but the beginning is comforting from every point of view," added Del Piero.
"The farewell to Juve still leaves a bad taste in my mouth. One year and a half ago I would not have imagined that this would happen, then things change. I still have the great satisfaction of having given everything I could for Juventus."

Pretty shocking stuff, although I'm waiting to hear Chang's side of the story first. Its weird, I was following that Jen Chang guy on Twitter before he got the Liverpool job and he always seemed like a decent person (but how much can you really tell I suppose).
jumberto
He came across as a crazed fan before he got the PR job, now this.

Honestly, I don't think that's a foul. Football is a contact sport remember

If you think that's an 'outrageous dive' then you'll see similar in every single game in the league this weekend.

He's touched, but thats it. He makes the decision that he wants a free-kick and throws himself to the ground.
It's a little sad that football has developed so far into being a non-contact sport that you're even attempting to justify that as a foul.
Oh, and if we're playing the 'if it's contact it's not a dive card' then Ashley Young was touched for both the penalties he won last year, but was absolutely crucified for diving for. Can't have it both ways.

I'm not saying there's contact so its not a dive. I'm saying its not a ridiculous dive, ready to be uploaded to the internet and labelled as 'outrageous'. I'm saying that there's other 'dives' like that all the time. If that happened in the 3rd minute on the half way line nobody would bat an eyelid. Players play for freekicks every game, and when they feel contact they go down. Might be soft but I don't think all of them aren't fouls.
Oh and there's a difference between that and Ashley Young's last season. The one against Villa he ran into the persons legs and flew down like Superman, this one Suarez gets kicked then goes down, albeit late and without needing to.
Ninja
Yeah, but the fact he gets up and sticks the free-kick resulting from his cheating into the back of the net makes the fact that he's cheated to win it important.
Don't make me post the Gary Neville diving Master class again.

You mean the master class where Neville is basically agreeing with me?
As he says 'its the way of the game'. I don't really like it, of course I don't, but football is bollocks and shit like that happens all the time.

You can act like the world is against him but he's constantly bringing it upon himself by being a cheat.
Carroll.
Abbott
I'll happily acknowledge that Suarez cheats, because he obviously does, but you'll forgive me for defending him from videos labelled 'unbelievable dive' when in my opinion it wasn't.
His reputation is never going to improve if everybody goes mental any time he does anything remotely wrong.

Nah the masterclass where he says it can be a dive and a foul. Even if it's a foul (and it's not) it's one of the most blatent dives you'll see.
