Lippi: “Del Piero, symbol of Italian football”
“Del Piero is one of the few icons left in Italian football”. Speaking about the Bianconeri captain was Marcello Lippi, in town for the launch of the Salvatore Lo Presti football annual. “Alex is a fine example of professionalism – continued the World Cup winning coach – as he showed this summer, when, right in the thick of the 'Calciopoli’ scandal, he pledged his allegiance to Juventus without hesitation. He’s a symbol of not only this club, but also of Italian football as a whole”. And on what is to be the captain’s 500th appearance for the club this Saturday. “I don’t know whether that’s a record, but I know the 200 plus goals he’s scored for Juventus certainly are. More than anything else, these records bear witness to just how much he’s done for his team and just how great a champion Alex is, both from a footballing and a human perspective”.

Alex takes another step into the history books
Just four days after the clash with Cesena, Juventus return to the Olimpico for their final home game of this first half of the season. Saturday promises to be one to remember as Alessandro Del Piero makes his 500th appearance for the Bianconeri, a prestigious milestone for an immense champion.
Saturday’s visitors to the Olimpico are Rolando Maran’s Bari, fresh from consecutive draws with Albinoleffe, Genoa and Rimini and desperate for a favourable result as they look to keep themselves in the hunt for promotion. The Biancorossi currently lie down in eighth place - four points behind Genoa, the lowest placed team in the breakaway group at the top - and haven’t scored away from home since their victorious derby with Lecce in mid-December. They’re by no means out of the race but they can’t afford too many more slip-ups, which is why Moran will be sending his men out on Saturday with more concentration and more hunger than ever. Their strength lies in a solid defence; only Juventus and Napoli have done better over the first half of the championship, conceding ten and eleven goals respectively, to Bari’s twelve. Their miserly backline has proved decisive both home and away, so much so that they have only lost by more than one goal on one occasion on their travels, against Crotone on opening day. To get the better of Moran’s outfit, Juventus will therefore need to get at them right from the off, piling on the pressure and making the most of the few opportunities the men from Puglia are likely to concede. However, an attacking line which includes Del Piero and Trezeguet – both on the score sheet against Cesena – can get the better of any defence.
