He scored goals and made assists but it doesnt mean that he was the leader of the attack. or does it? i dont know, I got confused.
yes it does, most of the goals del piero scored were Zlatan made

There will be a lot more expected of Zlatan next season (because he did well this season), so it'll be interesting to see how he reacts to that.

I'm sure he will face a lot of intimidation from opposition players - more than this season anyway because of his massively growing reputation.

Having DP around will definitely help him on a professional level. If there is no DP then there will be even more pressure on Zlatan's shoulders - will he be able to cope with this?

I think DP's performances have been (on the whole) poor, but he does take the majority of the responsibility (whether thats fair or not) off the other strikers because so much is expected from him.

30 years is not to much for a player.And the more important topic related to this onr is DEL PIERO LEAVING.Zlatan said that he is looking forward to see Del Piero out of Juve. Why....probably becuse of more space in the attack for ibrahim.
How all of you forgot what Del Piero means to us?
If it is the Zlatan of this forum then I really don't care...
But if it is Ibrahimovic then no one can deny that it is extremely stupid...

Andy, when one explains the tactical reasons for subbing Del Piero and keeping Zlatan (the Juventus player), they reply to you "and you call this justice/fair/whatever?"

Then you explain again, and they accuse you of being a Del Piero hater.
Yeah, what explanation you guys could give for not Subs Zlatan...

1-He's really talented and still young(He can run all the time)
2-He's very strong when it comes to body
3-Zlatan should adapt as soon as he can
4-Dp is 30 he can't keep on playinig the whole 90min

DO YOU THINK THESE REASONS ARE ENOUGH TO CONVINCE US?

I don't care if Zlatan is the next Maradona, But when he doesn't performe We should Subs, and thats it. This is Football, who doesn't performe kick his ass to the bench... Even Cassano was Sub this year and not Montella, though Montella is above 30(i guess)....

Zlatan is not the wonder Kid here, and he can't change the game in 2min, So he should be treated Just like the others, Zlatan doesn't shit diamond or gold.

Go read our argument then come up with the crap you've written. I thought 2 days ago you agreed on the arguments presented on why Zlatan was not being subbed. Hypocrite!!!!

We agreed each player should be subs when he's not delivering the team.

Tactical explanation for Del Piero's substitutions:

1-He's really talented and still young(He can run all the time)
2-He's very strong when it comes to body
3-Zlatan should adapt as soon as he can
4-Dp is 30 he can't keep on playinig the whole 90min
How many times do I have to go over this?

Ibrahimovic is kept on all the time because, even though he might not be playing well, he can still hold up the ball and win 50/50 ariel challenges better than any player on our team.

As the matches go on we tend to resort to high balls up to our forwards, usually because we have the lead and try to pack the defense in. Since we play long balls up to our forwards Del Piero is left stranded most of the time because he cannot win ariel challenges with his back towards goal. So since we resort to long balls and Del Piero cannot do much with those, Capello brings on a more capable player in this situation- the big, strong Zalayeta. The latter can win air balls and trouble a tired defense with his strength. Zlatan is kept on because he can always trouble a defense with his strength and air power even when he is not on his game.

Don't tell me to explain this to you guys again. This shit is as clear as day as far as I'm concerned.
