:LOL:I think most of us agree that Del Piero charmed us and made us all want him ahead of Baggio. He sure was spectacular and full of magic durng his first days. But what happened later? Injuries are part of the game and they do decrease one's confidence. And a manger constantly insisting on a player does not seem to boost confidence rather than getting spoiled.
You are so damn stupid. What the fvck does any of that have to do with anything? For the last f-ing time we're not talking about who was the better player between Baggio and Del Piero, we're discussing whether DP filled Baggio's shoes at the club and the answer is obviously yes. For your information Del Piero has scored more goals than Baggio at Juventus. No he did not win the Golden Ball but that trophy is based on players' performances over ONE year. What DP has done with Juve over the 12-13 years he's been here definitely match what Baggio did. But again you are apparently too stupid to understand anything. The fact that DP isn't a starter at Juve or in the NT now has NOTHING to do with what we're talking about. We're talking about what DP has done throughout his Juventus career so the fact that he isn't a starter now doesn't mean shit. Baggio was more important for the Azzurri, everyone knows that, but that's not what we're talking about yet you feel it necessary to bring that up in all of your arguments.

I think that this discussion is divided into those who have watched and remember Baggio and those who came after.
Baggio leading Juve to all those second places with such a terrible team we had in the early 90s and against the unbeatable Milan side was something great as he had the whole team on his shoulders. When I think about the Juve team of the early 90s only Baggio really sticks out. When you think about Juve of the latter 90s and early 2000 you think about DP and Zidane and Buffon and Nedved, etc.
So yes DP did have his fair share but it wasn't just him.

Baggio played for a number of clubs and was the hero for the NT. Overall he was the better player but that has a lot to do with what he did for Italy. Roby was excellent for Juventus as well but his legacy is based on more than just Juve. Del Piero did more for Juventus as he won more trophies here, he scored more goals here, and he pretty much led this team throughout his career. When he wasn't leading Juve on the pitch he was leading as a symbol off the pitch. That's why I say that Baggio was a better player on the whole but Del Piero had the more successful Juve career.
