If I had to chose between Del Piero and Capello I will deffinately chose Del Piero (without even thinking). Del Piero adds something when he is on the field. He adds the soul. He adds the heart.. He adds the brain. He adds the cheer.
Del Piero has the ability to rush a NOS into the Juve veins to let then fire up.
A question always rises, did Del Piero actually fill in Baggio's shoes? I always find this funny, as much as I love Baggio and as much as I think he is one of the best in history of football, As much as I know that Del Piero did not fullfill baggio's shoes. He made a new shoe for himself. Stronger, better, and more emotional than Baggio's. If I had to chose a player between both it will deffinately be Alessandro Del Piero.
Del Piero earned the trust of the Juve fans, not only because he knows how to shoot, nor only because he can dribble. Rather because he was a true Juventino in heart and in mind. Because he is leader of the team on and off the field. Because he is willing to give all for Juve.
Today's football is filled with many players who has absolutely mind blowing talent. Starting from Ibrahimovic, and Joninho, passing by Messy and kaka, ending with Ronaldinho. Are are talented and gifted. But all are not Del Piero. All will never do what Del Piero has done with Juve. Its not only about winning torphies, its about what he left in every Juventini's heart. I am sure that all true juvenitini have a chamber in their heart called Del Piero that will continue to beat till the last day of their lives.
It is unfair for Del Piero to be compared with players of this time. He is one of those will players that won't have a clone or successor. He is a player that we will always miss when he retires. As the likes of Maradona and Platini, players that made an impact that will last for eternity. There will never be a player that is capable of fullfilling Alex's shoes. Maradona is maybe the most talented player in history, but in my opinion Del Piero is the most COMPLETE player in history.
He is the one that made the difference in the past, he is the one that is making the difference now and he is the one that will make the difference in the future.
Del Piero, you are our captain. You are the team's soul. We want you to stay with Juve till the last day of you career. And after you retire we command Juventus to put you in their management team. This is the least you deserve. We love you for what you gave us and what you are giving us. We love you for what you represnt. And we will continue to love you till judgement day.
Forza Alex Del Piero....
