Il Capitano Alessandro Del Piero

[Hist]

He declined a lot in his last season with us especially when it came to his speed but even at that level he was and still is infinitely more effective than Matri, Bentdner and Anelka combined. We even gave an old Drogba some serious consideration. There is no good way to look at how Juve treated Alex. I havent witnessed such a classless act in italian football.

It is outright shameful and cannot be compared to Madrid's treatment of Raul because the context is very different. Madrid were overhauling the squad to purchase world class players for top money in every position and had both Higuain and Benzema in his position. Since they sold Raul, the worst player they ever signed in his position was Adebayor (a very good striker) for half a season loan as an emergency signing and he did very well. Also, Raul wasnt willing to be a madrid player at a very low salary while Alex did.

If Juve were freeing Alex's position because he wanted a proper wage and some rotation game time with Tevez and Suarez I'd understand but to not even let him rotate with the mediocrity of Vucinic, giovinco, guags and the awfulness of bentdner and Anelka then that is a disgrace. I will never forgive Agnelli for this even if his reign as president is as successful as Barca's last decade.

I think people here are more offended by it then Alex is.

Perfect.

That's because you'll never hear a word from Del Piero, not in his worst days he went out to speak against anyone.

I agree with every single word you say... but i wonder if that would be a good way to let Alex spend his last season(s)... the living legend playing some rotation matches against Catania or whatever... Now he went on to the other side of the planet and was living a life he never had... he was able to play with his childeren in the park without a thousand people asking for pictures etc. etc.... For Alessandro it were the most perfect couple of years, spending more time with his family...

We all agree with the same thing... we would love to see him play for our club.. on and on and on.. lifting scudetti and other cups.. heck i'd even play him in the CL final if we came that far next season... just so that IF we win it, he could lift the CL Cup together with Buffon... but i don't think that would be the way to go

I believe Alex always had playing somewhere abroad in mind, so he knew he would leave Juventus one day. However, I think Alex has been mortally offended by how he was treated by Agnelli et al. @Azzurri7 is right, Alex would never say anything and he knows the difference between Andrea and Juventus.

Alex wanted to stay. He didnnt want some park time pushing his kids on a swing. Agnelli made him retire earlier than he wanted to. Sure he is happy now afterall Its not like he was ever gonna fall into depression because of this but this retirement lifestyle was forced on him.

[petersmit]

He is not retired... he played 2 seasons in Australia..
The footballler del piero didn't want it, but the person and father del piero did..

Agnelli knows what's best for Alex's family more than Alex himself. #Agnellithemarriagecounselor

Alex knows best. So he made lemonade out of lemons.
