Not always, Dominic, I admit there were serveral games where I saw him really slow. But then again, when he's up to it and in good shape/condition everything, I really see him running fast. But again, he sure can't run like before.

 

[Dominic]

Well, we sort of agree then.

I think Del Piero has to what recover into his speed. Not everyone is fast, But when Del Piero is in good condition and form, I can see him past dribbling defenders without a problem, and It'll be too late for them to catch him. It's just that when he's off-form or not in his best days, he seems to look slow. In-fact he's neither slow or fast.

What he needs to do is recover his golden ability of being able to beat his man consitantly.

If Dp regains that he will be doing somthing only totti can currently do in the azzuri.

You dont always need electrice pace to be a good dribbler, totti isnt exaclty fast is he, neither is crappano or zidane. Its doing the right thing with the ball is what is important.Pace is jus a less skillfull way of beating your man.

Thats right...Thats what I was trying to say. If he can recover his golden ability and confidence then there's no problem in seein him shining.

Jus trying to dispel the myth that pace is golden.

Most importantly he lacks running souplesse. Compare the way Del Piero runs with the way Henry runs. Big difference if you ask me?

 

[giovanotti]

True but Del Piero compensates that with his fantastic techinque.

 

[Eddy]

I think he will start next match, if not, then he will come on surely on the 50th or 60th minute.

 

[Morra10]

Age, inagile leggs, his weight and injuries have all contributed to the slowdown I think.

hey how slow was his run against reggina in the last game when he scored another great goal?

Technique is a minimum, id say henry is equal in terms of technique.

Del Piero doesn't have speed but he has accelaration... that's the important thing for strikers. Just like Trezeguet. You need to position yourself well and have the ability to score goals. Forget all the passes, assists, contriubtion - Del Piero's form this year has been high because one major thing and it's called GOALS. Del Piero's scoring abilities in terms of matches and minutes have been incredible. So that's why I want him in the pitch... scoring those goals. He scored from every position this year and from different situations, complete player.

But alas, it's all theoretic. There are no indications that Lippi will field Del Piero. In fact it's pretty much confirmed that he'll stick with Totti-Gila-Toni (seriously, we also knew this before the WC)... so he might get in the 70th might later like same time.... nothing big. This is the current situation.

I won't agree over this one.

 

[mnementh]

It's differnet techniques. Henry is a more solo player... while Del Piero is involved in passes leading to goals. That's where Del Piero has an advantage I think. That's why Henry keeps running the ball trying to score on his own. What bothers me is that Del Piero doesn't take enough shots anymore at the goal and tries to pass instead. If he took more shots, he would score even more like in the past.

i'd have to disagree, henry is all about speed, in terms of technical brilliance del peiro is superior, not to say henry's technique isnt also great

 

[Loppan]

Yes he has thank god. But is this the picture when he was pulled out by Lippi while playing the U-19's ?

I've been away so what happend there?

Achilles was asked to give Briseis up.

Uncle Alex got pissed off cause he wasn't playing good and the pressure of the Juventus scandal propably got to him so he got mad ya ? he took a bat and smacked this underage 19 year old (he tackled him so so he can feel better and release the anxiety) and Lippi grabbed him by the arm and took him away. Later on, our poor hero apologised to Lippi but Lippi didn't give him face and left.
