It's basically a legit autobiography. Not sure what his own input was in writing it, but 100% official.
I remember being in Turin after it was published. Hadn't heard about it & couldn't believe it either. A book detailing Gio's life & career so far, complete with baby pics & similar stuff. And this when he was in his early 20ies & was nothing more than a benchwarmer. Tells you a lot about the hype surrounding him at the time.
Lol yeah it does, I gather they saw it as the most optimal time to release it, bizzare in that age (could barely fill anything with it) but capitalizing on his marketing I gather (not just Juve hype, but generally in Italy, before Balo truly exploded, was considered biggiest future star etc). Because if I was in Turin then, I would prolly bought the book

(for ze pictures lol).
I really hope he gets back and get to add some chapters, or like a 3/4rds of a book worh of material

Would be nice to see him and Marchisio together again. Its funny how things work, pretty much watched all azzurrini games for the two of them, but mainly for Gio, because he is the bigger talent. Took a while for Marchisio to fully shine like he is now (hopefully not just a "hot streak", I dont mean goalwise, overall performance), would be great to see Gio in the same sitaution this time next year (if anyone told me few years ago, that Gio and Marchisio would be 3rd and 4th respectively in top goalscorers after half a season, I would loled).
Regarding Claudio, stop being petty about who "hated" him or not, nonsense (and Nzoric is right, agp_frick too), lets just collective fap and circlejerk while watching this
