Conte was captain from 1996 until 2001. So, he was already a captain in 1999. But it could be true that the injury is the reason why didn't Del Piero become a captain before 2001.
I'm pretty sure that's how it was. After Vialli left Conte became Captain, starting 1996-97, but then in for 1999-2000 DP was decided to become captain since Conte wasn't really a starter but Ale got injured badly so it was given back to Conte, then back again to Del Piero by Lippi in 2001-2002.

Wasn't Conte captain too? That would make DP captain only after him 2004?
No, DP officially became Captain 2001 when Lippi came back.

Just make a nice Ceremony for Alex, raise a banner with his shirt, make a status for him outside the staduim, name some part of the stands by his name, make him a Director when he come back and i'll be satisfied.

Thanks for the advice. I also want them to name their stadium after me, but I'll most probably end up watching them calling it something else.
Fake fan :p

I want to name the stadio Alex or stadio magic Ale. That would be really respecting DP and cool too. Retiring numbers not so cool.

In this case after a long time no one number will be available to wear. I think it is stupid too,
Like it's happened to the teams who have retired numbers :agree:

there are much more of ways to show a respect to the players.
Yup! Like kicking them out of the club.

You are so cool, though.

Conte was a bench player and the captaincy was taken away from him and given to a starter.

That's the basis of one of the conspiracy theories our femme fatale came up with in this thread. About Conte being jealous of Del Piero because he took the captaincy away from him :p

So, are you ready for his 700 match? It may be tonight
I am. Conte most likely isn't.

I'd be all for that. With a nice, giant pic of you hanging above the entrance.

We'll be leading 1:0 or 2:0 tonight after which Conte will put Del Piero on to lead the team to a safe finish. Del Piero will score or assist for 3:0.

Who wants to take a bet on this? Everything's acceptable except an avatar bet. The moment I changed the Mirko avatar to this, we won most of the matches and didn't concede a single goal in serie A (Genoa 0:0, Viola 5:0, Inter 2:0, Napoli 3:0 and Palermo 2:0). It's a powerful avatar.

Rab?
If you win you get to ban Raz for a week. If I win you'll have a "Maldini sucks" signature for a week.

Del Piero Style?
If you win Rab gets to ban Raz for a week. If I win you put "Conte sarà sempre il vero capitano della juve :delpiero:" siggy for a week.

Hoori?
We can agree on the bets via PMs.

Del Piero to score 3 tonight and Marotta to be seen running on the pitch in the 90th minute with a sheet of paper and a pen!!! Anyone willing to bet?

I don't know about retiring the jersey, I am not really with it. I think Del Piero would be the last one to want such a thing. A nice celebration for his achievements and commitment and , of course, a very careful approach when selecting the next number 10.
I would go with either a very, very promising kid. Neymar with different attitude and preferably home grown or a player that has shown consistently (at least 2 seasons) that he deserves it.
