He did the only meaningful and brilliant thing our field players did during the 90 minutes.
I still stand behind my opinion that it was a mistake starting with him. Maybe Ferrara thought he's ready, but it was obvious that he wasn't. Always second to every ball and Bordeaux players were too fast and too strong for him.
If we had him for the last 30 minutes, when Bordeaux players also lost some of their speed and energy, things might have ended better for us.

I've said it many times, Del Piero should play as SS(Support Striker), a place where he can make a difference, change the game in any second, the moment he played as a striker today, he created a chance to the Brazilians out of nowhere.

Plus the man just got back from a long injury you can't play him as a midfielder.

I don't think he would have changed much, be it he started or played in the last 20min. We were blocked, outplayed, ran out of options and solutions.

The position he played doesn't suit him. It's very simple, I don't know why Ciro has to complicate it, play with two strikers and Diego-Camoranesi behind them. Very simple..
