No I'm not. The reason is that he had been kept in the squad for years when more in form players had been kept on the benh. Trezeguet was on the bench in his first season, and he scored 14 goals, Kovačević was sold despite scoring regularly, and having like 11 goals in 9 matches in the Intertoto cup, Miccoli was sold because of Del Piero as was Di Vaio, and all of these players were kept on the bench despite being in better form.
First of all, there is no truth in those statements whatsoever. I have no reason to like Zlatan more than Del Piero. I dont hate Alex, I have nothing against him personaly. I do not critisize him simply because Zlatan is Bosnian, nor is Zlatan my favourite football player, Barbarez is. I do not believe Ibrahimović is God, in fact I do not believe in God in general. All I think is that he's currently the better player than Alessandro Del Piero. And I try to be as objective as I can. I simply state facts. Del Piero is slow. He is weak. He doesnt play with passion anymore. Those are not my personal feelings, those are fascts, and if you refuse to acknowledge them, then you are biased.
Zlatan has absolutely nothing to do with Del Piero, I had the same feelings about Alex long before Zlatan joined us, so I dont bash him simply because Zlatan is of Bosnian origin. Get your facts straight.
