is everyone blind? he lost the ball about 1000 times. and this is against moldova.
BUT! before i get trampled on, yes he did do some good things. ASSIST which is basically the most decisive thing in a match of football, he did some mazy runs which i did cheer on
, and he kept his cool even when the number 2 of moldova started tackling him bad and tried to hack him. he is a true professional, and noone can take that away from him. he didnt retaliate unlike some (totti), just gazed with a peircing look of disgust.
good performence, but really, if we are fussing over this as a GREAT delpiero performence, we r conceding to the fact he is finished.
that wasnt tottis position, totti plays central beacause he can hold on to the ball (more) or win fouls.

He simply can't, he's been like that ever since he started playing.

And i think it is a great performance and if he had any luck mybe he could've got a goal.

ive been a big fan of Del Piero over the years.but im with jeeks on this one - he is a choker,and that too a massive one.
if italy were to reach the world cup final,and the match went to penalties,i would bet my house on del piero losing his nerve in the moment and missing his penalty.thoug this wud only happen if del piero makes the wc squad which i dont think he will
so that means he wont have to go through the whole choking under pressure routine again.
lucky chap.

OP
The 98 Final is my worst memory as a Juve supporter...
I remmber from this night Inzaghi missing two good scoring chances...
Iuliano wasting an easy corner over the post...
Davids shooting an incredible ball to the hands of Ilegner after dribbiling half the Madrid team...
But what hurts more was the invisible DP who came out from a slight injury before the final..
After a fantastic season I was expecting a lot more of Alex than one assist :down:
This whole choking issue is getting ridiculous. Let's face facts now.
a) Roberto Baggio can't play for Juventus in the crucial game against Parma and Del Piero needs to step in. For the first time in his football career the young lad is under a great deal of pressure. He scores a hattrick.
b) Del Piero played several great games in the CL and the Serie A. Pressurefree? Didn't think so.
c) Del Piero didn't play great against Real Madrid in 1998, but still provided some great assists to Inzaghi, who unfortunately missed. He didn't play well in the Euro 2000 final either. But did he choke? I don't know. Sometimes you play great, sometimes you don't, there's not much more to it. And if you're willing to say that he did choke, then what about Baggio? He missed the decisive penalty FFS. The best player in the world misses, now THAT could be called choking.
d) Totti played awful against Mexico and got substituted. DP got on and saved Italy. But hey, I guess there was no pressure involved right?
e) Del Piero has a massive record of scoring penalties against AC Milan, Inter Milano and AS Roma. But I guess those are all pressurefree situations.

a)roberto baggio took italy to the final itself.and he wasnt even fully fit.he didnt even play in the first round.the whole nation counted on him,he delivered.and baggio has no other record of anythnig even NEAR as choking apart from that penalty miss.so calling him a choker is pure rubbish.
i guess judging from your statement sheva and pirlo are chokers too because they missed the penalties in last year's CL final.rite?
b)yes he did play several games in the serie A and in the CL.how many times has he handled pressure well in the post-98 era?he's a choker.face it.
c)the euro final vs france.
italy leading 1-0.
the chacne to kill the match with a 2nd goal.
a player called alessandro del piero gets a bloody easy chance. tries and fails.
italy lose the match.
does that ring a bell?.
d)italy wud have qualified for the 2nd round even if they had lost and DP didnt score.go and check the wc stats again.italy's 2nd round match against korea,where was del piero?
the 02/03 CL final.where was del piero?
he's been a great player.but he's a choker.and a big one.
