ypu know what is funny, ever since I'm a Juve fan, Del Piero has been a regular in Juve, I have seen Lippi's Juve, Ancelloti's Juve and now Cappello's Juve... all of the 3 coaches have put DP on their starting 11... whats my point?
Well I will tell you... 3 great coaches have coach Juve and all of them believed in Del Piero so much to put him on their starting lineups, and don't tell me that they hadn't choises coz Lippi could have put Miccoli or Zalayeta or even Di Vaio, Ancelloti could have put Kovacevic and Trez (in his time he was a backup) and now Cappelo can put Zalayeta insted of him, but all 3 of them put Del Piero...
In the national team its the same, all the last coaches have call Del Piero and put him responsabilty.
My point is that Del Piero maybe its not the spaectacular player that he was, and probably he never will, but with his bad form and all he has manage to score 5 goals for us this season, in my book, thats a great contribution...
Ok, when Trez gets back use DP has a backup, but to sell him? thats crazy....
Some of you say that we should sell him and get Saviola or Morientes, but you are forgetting that Juventus has a style of playing that is not the same of the teams that this players play in this moments, our style bases in a great defence, why? coz we are in a very defensive league.
Some of you would want to see a attacking Juve, that score more than 3 goals per game, well I have news for you, That its not going to happend, we don't play like that, and with that defensive style of playing nobody could know if a Saviola or a Morientes would perform in the same way that they are actually performing...
Somethimes I feel that the Del Piero haters are Juve fans who always wanted to see Del Piero back to his old form, and since his will never ge back to that, they hate Del Piero for that, and all the time say, "He played like crap" or " we played with 10 men" coz they expect that he plays like he played in his first years, ... so, for those of you... Del Piero will never be that player again, but still he is a great player (its not me who say it, see Lippi comments, Ancelotti comments, Cappelo Comments, Zoff Comments... people who knows about soccer) and can contribute alot to Juve...
Buttom line its...
I don't consider my self a Del Piero lover, I criticese as much of some of you, but if 3 great coaches have put their confidence on him, to starting him and give him the captain brand, if Juventus managment still believes on him so much to keep his high wages, then that could tell you that he still its a great player and still have a lot to give...
But maybe I'm wrong, maybe Liipi was wrong, maybe Lotti was wrong, maybe Cappello is wrong, maybe Moggi is wrong, maybe all these people don't know shit about soccer and you do...
maybe...
