I know most of you seen this already but in case someone missed it, there goes.
It's just unbelievable how much class this man has got. And he is funny as fuck too. I can tell that without being able to comprehend a lot of Italian.
Great video!When the reporter asked Ale if he already renewed his contract and he responded with "No",the reporter asked "What about Milan?",Ale reponded with"Who?":DGotta love him:toast:

You said it, "you can't expect everyone to support all the players" true...they have their taste and choice.

BUT, you can't hate someone like Alex sateeh, even the ones who used to support Juventus before Ale, from Platinis time or baggio's supporters. You can't love him, yes like i said before he cant be everyones idol and fav player, but you simply can't hate someone like him after all these year leave alone what he achieved but only after all these years and loyality to the team.

hating Del Piero and supporting Juventus doesn't really work.
I have started supporting Juve before Del Piero was signed. Ever since the late 80s I've been following the black and white religion.
Baggio was a great player, an outstanding sportsman and a terrific Juve legend BUT, he did not give to the club as much as Del Piero. Whether it was number of goals, performances, games, trophies, sales..etc Del Piero wins in such comparision without any question.. That is a statement from a person who warships Roberto Baggio.

I agree with Rab, you really can't hate a Juve legend or some who who's given alot to Juve and be called a Juve supporter. You might be a Juve follower or admirer but not a supporter.
Lets take a player like Birindelli for an instance. This past couple of years he's been putting some terrible performances and seriousluy someone should be kind enough and ask him to retire. Although I get upset at him when he doesn't play well, I can never hate him. He was there for the during the good and bad days. he's carried trophies when we won and shared tears with us when we did not.
Another example is Alissio Tacchinardi, although he is not a Juve player now you cannot impossible hate him. During his time he was Juve's vice captain. He had been kickin for the biancioneri shirts since 1994. A year after Del Piero's arrival. Destroyed by Capello, he'll be always remembered in our hearts and minds as a true Juventino.
will i guess the main thing here is Rab's definition of hating, and since it was linked with loyalty and can't disagree.

There will always be an opposition to Alex on the field, as he is not the consistent player and imo he will never be. But thats a different matter as what he brings in is something more.

Del Piero Wants A Personal Trainer

Alessandro Del Piero is facing another showdown with Juventus, this time over his demand for the club to appoint a personal trainer for him.

Del Piero has not looked physically sharp this season, and The Golden Boy believes this may be the reason for his disappointing recent form.

He is therefore looking to follow in the footsteps of Francesco Totti and the legendary Roberto Baggio, who both employed personal trainers as they moved towards the tail-end of their respective careers.

Juventus Coach Claudio Ranieri is believed to be unwilling to grant Del Piero his wish, as he believes it will damage team unity by the fact that one player is getting special privileges.

This will not be the first point of disagreement between player and club. Del Piero is currently engaged in fractious contract negotiations, with the Juve hierarchy unwilling to meet the 32-year-old’s estimated salary demands of £3.2m a season.

Del Boy has also expressed his disapproval at Ranieri playing him out of position, in a trequartista role behind Vincenzo Iaquinta and David Trezeguet.

These are testing times for Del Piero and he was also left out of Roberto Donadoni’s recent Italy squad for the games with Georgia and South Africa.

CALIENDO, Inter could swoop on Del Piero

Italian super agent Antonio Caliendo has criticised Juventus for the way they've treated Alessandro del Piero over new contract talks. He said: "It is Juve that should make a concrete step to keep him. Alessandro does not have any problems, he is a champion who gave his entire career to Juve. Del Piero should only listen to what they have to say". Caliendo added: "People talk about AC Milan, but there could be another solution: Inter".
