Ale, one of the most talented player ever, never got the full credit he deserve, a rare bread of player that is incredibly gifted and above that lethal in front of the goal.

Classy inside and outside of the football field, one of the few players that enjoyed a standing ovation at both the old trafford and the bernabeu, he's really one of the greatest ever. Some people argue that Alex is in the second tier of players, tier with Henry, Raul, Sheva... and don't belong to the first tier of players; the great ones, but anyone who watched Ale along the years know how much an incredible and smart footballer he's. I started following Juve because of Alex in the final that we lost against BVB, i saw Alex score a backheel with his left foot and i thought that was incredible and so difficult, throughout the years after i saw Del piero carry Juve and score more beautiful and do some magic tricks that seemed so simple for him but in reality only an artist like him could make them look that easy.
Del piero is so special that after a devasting injury that made him loose all his explosiveness, he came back stronger and adapted to his new pyhsics and performed at the highest level for so many years that it became standard to expect Ale to be the best juve player even at late in his career.

I've never loved a football player as much as Ale and will never do. In my mind he's the greatest football player ever and i'm thankful to him for all the great memories and the emotions.

Ale, I hope you'll be happy wherever you go.

Mai senza :flag2:
He IS IMO one of the most intelligent footballers i have seen, if not the most. Im talking about how he reads the game and decides what to do.
He combines a high level of technique with world class judgement. When you mix those 2 attributes, a player like del piero exists.

There are players like Messi and C ronaldo who are explosive and flairboyant in their own way. But Ale has a different and unreal approach to the game.

The ones who have seen him along the years will know what im talking about. Its hard to put on words.

Meh, history is nothing if it's not represented by the present. Buffon is now what DP was for a long time but it's still not the same.
Well you're not a Juve fan, just a DP fan. DP leaving doesn't make the club hollow. Of course it's gonna be sad, but it had to happen sometime. It has happened before, and will happen again.

Your club will be so hollow without him.

He used to be (he still is) the only reason why I watch Juve games.

Heyyyy you in here?!! :D I was so shocked when I saw your name I came right in. :D But that's not true. The club is not hollow no matter what and I still love 'em or else I would have stopped being a fan the day ZZ left us. Ale maybe a huge part of Juve but that doesn't mean he is all that there is to us.

This. I started following Juve because of him and dp, but above all because zidane was my idol. When he left to madrid (a team i despised and still do)... i was almost tempted to follow him, like some friends of mine did (we were a bunch of zidane freaks). But no way, i was attached to the shirt already.... i would have felt so dirty by changing teams just like that. I decided to stay and until today, i think it has been one of the best decitions i have taken in my life... because calciopoli included, Juventus has given so much joy in this last 10 years.
