OP
Del Piero certainly filled Baggio's shoes with Juventus, however the same cannot be said for the Azzurri and Italian football in general. Roby is a legend when it comes to what he has done for the Italian National team and his country's football exposure, while Del Piero is just one of the greats for the club he captains. Baggio is also loved around the entire country of Italy, while unfortunately much more hate is directed towards Alex because of his supposed failures with the Azzurri.
As for nobody being able to fill Alex's shoes at Juventus in years to come...that is certainly questionable. I think the more appropiate question here is will we ever again have such a true Juventino lead us out on to the field of play match after match.....in today's world of football, I unfortunately doubt it. Del Piero is one of the greatest Juventini this club has ever had.

How can you say he failed to fill Baggio's shoes, Jeeks? He has done more for the club than Roby as a player and far more as a symbol. If you compare their careers on the whole you will be able to conclude that Baggio was the better player, but we're talking about what the two legendary Italians did for Juventus FC and when you compare Baggio's Juve career to Del Piero's Juve career Alex is the clear victor.
Well i do think that alex is our clear victor when it comes to Juve but to think he could have been greater for Juventus if Baggio stayed one more year. TO think how much del piero learned from baggio and how much more he would have learned if he had one more year with him. So to be the true victor honestly i think it was baggio actually becuase in reality he really taught del piero what he knows today. And given one more year with him we could have seen a player who was actually better than baggio and maybe he would have avoided his injury with his smart play.
The answer is different, depending if we talk about the Italian NT or Juve:
In the NT, we cant compare : Baggio was the most influential and decisive player for the Azurri for many years and DP as been just another choice in the line-up. When Baggio fade away, so was Italy.
For Juventus is totally on the contrary: Il Codino, even with his divine skills wasnt really a determinant factor for the team (wining one scudetto in five seasons) and DP, with is injuries, inconsistency, weakness and lack of form as managed to get 6 scudetti and 1 CL in twelve seasons, being the constant for team in what we can call the best decade in juventus history....
But the one and only that can fill Baggio shoes is......Padovano

but during his time here at juventus baggio never struggled to score goals. 115 goals in (200 games)5 years is quite an acheivment.
in delpieros career he as always struggled to get over 10 goals a season in serie a.
so from a goalscoring point of view baggio is the victor. but as a captain delpiero takes the cake. hes been captain for about 3 years now? and always in the media he speaks with class. im always interested in what he has to say. he really talks like a leader. on the field i would argue that he is quiet and always has his head down. not the attributes of a leader.
also delpiero has been treaten like a saint here. great money, and always gets defended by the big guys (coach, pres, moggi).
baggio after all he gave for this club, was told to halve his pay cut and sit on the bench. i think that is unfair from lippi.
while delpiero pushing for a bench spot is still the highest paid player in the team.
now the stats. obviously un compareable as they have spent a hell of a different time but its fun to look at anyway.
