Il Capitano Alessandro Del Piero (222 Viewers)

...and possibly the best player in the league last season. Meh, It seems Euro 08 is what counts.

If that counted then putting Toni, Ibra and Benzema would be meaningless.

Well, for Alex at least. This omission is plain stupid imo.

fuck Ballon D'Or...if legends like Ale, Raul and Maldini have never won it, what does it really mean at all

Didn't Ibra score two goals for one of the weakest side in the tournament, against the former champions and the current champions? Think he was second top scorer in the CL too.

Nothing to me. Its that "he isn't a great player, he never won Ballon d'or " crap that gets on my nerves...

Ibra didn't have a brilliant Euro, neither did Sweden. What does CL have to do with this? I was talking about the performances in the Euros in my previous comment. No doubt Zlatan deserves to be on that list and this is why I said the Euros performances is not the only criterion. Having said that, Del Piero should have been there too.

When you put it that way, yes, I agree with you.

They cannot give it to two players at the same time. Ale had a very brilliant season (much much better than the Ballon D'Or season of Michael Owen) but he truly wasn't rewarded only cos Ronaldo had a super brilliant season at that time. The same applies for Maldini when he failed to win this prize because of the astounding season of Nedved.

 

[Ahmed]

Maldini, Raul and Ale have all had more than one brilliant season

How could anyone expect that? Its what makes our manager unique.

I thought she'd be less surprised since she has previous experience with Ranieri while he was at Valencia.

 

[ZAF3000]

but there is no hierro

Neither Helguera.

He'll find someone don't worry..

My only worries is from Ranieri.. I hope he doesn't sub him in the middle of the game to "save him for the following serie a game"....

 

[Azzurri7]

I think It's Ramo's turn.

I think It's Ramo's turn.

I hope so

 

[ZAF3000]

Rab, looking at ale's determination level it might be more than just one player this time. The question is, will it be enough to secure us a win or at least a good result?

If we play with the a similar formation to the one fielded last night, it will be 100% on Del Piero's shoulder to try to score and help amauri score as much as possible during 90 minutes, and we should hope we don't concede more than what he can provide for us up front.

Thats right. What bothers me also is that both Amauri and Del Piero are doing things on their own. They're getting no services man.

Looking at Del Piero yesterday, trying to control and hold the ball from the middle looking for a mate to pass the ball and try to open the space in the midfield, while Amauri looking isolated waiting for a cross or pass.

Anyway, If only Del Piero gets little bit support, I think he can finish on them Tuesday night.

 

[ZAF3000]

One has to hail Del Piero for his role in Amauri's goal. With his movement he took with him 2-3 defenders and left Amauri with one to deal with. Simply brilliant. Its things like this that really are beyond many of those highly paid players in todays football.

Not many see this though. If you look back at the goal, It all started from him. And I saw exactly what you just described to me 100%.

 

[Alen]

Maldini, Raul and Ale have all had more than one brilliant season

They did, but they were never the very best in one particular season like the ballon d'or winners were.

 

[ZAF3000]

Last season Del Piero and Trezeguet scored 41 goals while getting minimal help from the midfield. Now imagine if they were getting complete support
