Good interview, he comes across so well. If only we had pundits like him in the UK.
Sad that he has been unable to watch a Juve game in Turin since leaving. There clearly is a personality clash with someone still at the club and it is disappointing that the person cannot put it behind them given what Del Piero has done for the club and what he means to the fans.

Must probably be THE dumbest decision of the Agnelli-Marotta-Conte cycle, getting rid of Del Piero after 2011/2012 without any immediate suitable replacement was unexcusable, even a 37yo Del Piero was still levels above(both on the field aswell as marketing wise) than the mediocrity we had on offer in the attacking department at the time.
And also to think we let him go just to then bring in the likes of a totally washed up Anelka and ultimate meme player Bendtner to conclude the 2012/2013 season with.. as if getting rid of your biggest legend which still had a lot to offer wasn't enough, they somehow made sure to make a joke out of themselves while at it aswell, altough in truth luckily for us they sort of made up for it a year later with Tevez's arrival which did help a bit in masking some of the idiocy they pulled up the previous summer.
Without a doubt Del Piero should have been offered proper guarantees for another year to be able to finish off his career with a few more memorable UCL appearances in a Juventus shirt, deserved to compete amongst the elite for one last time on the biggest stage, he earned it as much as everyone else in that last season.

Seeing him talk about it really gave me the chills a bit, we certainly could have handled it so much better...

Probably one of those decisions/moments that will forever stay with some of us, no matter how much time passes, as much as we try to forget about, it does happen that even the slightest mention of it already manages to bring back some of the anger from those days.
Still can’t quite fully get over it i guess.

Also, not coming to JS is his own decision I think. Wants a bit more time to pass.
I don't think it was a perfect goodbye.
Totti had a perfect goodbye. The opportunity to say a speech etc
A lap of honour is not enough for a legend like Del Piero.

The massive jersey on the field, all the players and family there in one moment to say goodbye etc that's a perfect goodbye not the shit Alex got. He has basically been shut out since he stepped off the field.
