Il Capitano Alessandro Del Piero (102 Viewers)
- Thread starter Chxta

To go with the latest trend here after the bashing of Krasić, Chiellini, Buffon, etc.
How come the captain of this team, the bandiera of Juventus, a living legend, just sit, and seems to be quite tranquil to do so without complaining to the coach, on the bench while we are struggling to at least have a shot on goal in the last matches we had? Is he happy nowadays to just make money and earn a contract extension out of his name only? Isn't he supposed to create some sort of chaos with the media to just get to the club's policy and the coach's and insult him for leaving him on the bench in such crisis?
Capitano, my ass.

Have you ever heard of the word 'class'? Yeah, and Alex is full of it. He's a great man, with so much respect for everybody, it would be classless to make chaos in the dressing roam and to rebel against your coach, and rebel against the people who pay you your salary.
What do you expect him to do? Argue with his manager? What kind of an example a club captain would set if he insults/rebels against etc.. against the team manager and club management?

It's a pity. Talent has to be the priority. Technical ability. Always, always. Sure, you can win without it but it's talent that makes the difference. Look at the teams: Juventus, who makes the difference? Krasic. Del Piero. Liverpool? Gerrard, or Torres before. Talento. Talento. When you look at players and ask yourself who's the best: talento. Cesc, Nasri, Ryan Giggs – that guy is a joy, incredible. Looking back, I loved John Barnes and Chris Waddle was buenísimo. [Open-mouthed, eyes gleaming] Le Tissier! Although their style was different I liked Roy Keane and Paul Ince together, too. That United team was great – my English team. If I'd gone anywhere, it would have been there.
