It's so glaring he went against his will and yet people think Agnelli didn't have anything to do with it. The guy was insecure enough about his unibrow. The last thing he probably wanted was to compete with Del Piero's shadow.

Don't think anyone can say right now that AA didn't push Ale out of the club. It was just Ale's class, he didn't want to talk about it during the season to not disturb the atmosphere.

These people are ignorant let alone stupid.

When I was saying Agnelli didn't want Del Piero no more at all costs they thought I'm coming up with conspiracies.

And to even think Juve would replace Del Piero with another big summer signing that has the potential to fill up his place but then end up with Bendtner and Giovinco. [I bet Del Piero on one leg can do more than them combined at this age]

I remember there was this journalist on Al-Jazeera sport last season said something that was the most spot on thing I've heard in football "If Del Piero feels he can NOT give Juventus anything more then he would have asked himself to quit Juve before being asked to, but when he still wants to play then you have to know that he can still give more than expected. Ale would never hurt Juventus at any price".


But like Ale said in a diplomatic way of course "Agnelli can fvck himself for all I care" :smile:

Are you serious? What's the official reason for this?

If he doesn't want to get it in banners, they can always sing against him

I don't know what 's the reasonning about this, possibly some complained that they block the view ( boring) , that's why our Ultras are protesting.

AA had taken all this english model a little too far.

More from the Gazzetta:"Sometimes I walk in the streets of Sydney and people come to me and say 'Thank you' and I don't know why. Before the first match vs. Wellington I had to sing infront of all the team. I chose "Nel blu dipinto di blu", because Sydney's players nickname is 'Sky blues'. Then I asked my team mates to sing with me. I sang 'Volare', and they said 'oh, oh'. If only I had the courage to put the video on the internet...".

I must see this! :D

More highlights:

How did you tell Sonia about Sydney?
Step by step. She knows what happens all the time. She always told me:"Choose, and we'll go". I know that this move is a big challenge for her.

In the next two years you'll figure out what you want to do when you'll 'grow-up'?
I totally live in the present, but I do see the future in the horizon.

They asked him about being such a gentleman, I can't really translate the exact question, but this is the answer:
"I have a role, a responsibility. I do get angry sometimes and even let a 'vaffa' (vaffanculo :D) fly out sometimes, but in private".

How's your English?
"I want to express myself better. Next week I start the lessons. So far I was busy with trainings and things in the house".

The first thing I learned in Sydney?
"People are smiling and happy. Unemployment is below 4% and that counts."

You feel more free comparing to your last years in Juve?
Absolutely.

What did you think after you realise that Juve don't want you but her two big rivals that you'll never say their names (Milan and Inter), do?
I just say thanks for all the teams that wanted me and was not afraid by my age or the fact that I'm Juve's symbol.

Can someone translate this clear, with no mistakes?

Torniamo a quel momento, non ne ha mai parlato.
"Nessuno mi aveva detto che non avrei più giocato nella Juve, ma lo avevo capito. Vedo il tabellone con il mio numero e mi chiedo: "Ma davvero devo salutare? Davvero esco per l’ultima volta dallo stadio?". Mi inchino verso le quattro tribune, saluto i miei familiari nel palco ed esco. Avrei voluto soffermarmi di più, ma ricorda cosa le ho detto a proposito del senso di responsabilità e del dovere? Ecco. Mi sono detto "Ale, vai in panchina e basta"".

Però poi è successo qualcosa.
"E’ successo che i tifosi mi hanno trascinato in campo. Ho fatto due giri, mi avranno lanciato cento sciarpe, ogni tanto mi fermavo per godermi il momento. Vedevo la gente piangere. Una festa straordinaria perché spontanea".
 

Salvo

No one came out and said I won't play at Juve anymore, but I understood it. I saw the board(for substitions) with my number on it and I ask myself " do I really have to say goodbye? Am I really coming off for the last time in this stadium?". I move towards the 4 stands, I farewell my familiars and I leave. I would have liked to stay more, but I remember what I said in regards of a sense of responsibility and my duty. Right. I said "ale, go on the bench and thats it"

But then something happened, the fans willed me back onto the field. I did two laps, they threw 100 scarf, every now and again I stopped to truly enjoy the moment. I saw people crying. An extraordinary celebrations because of spontaneity.

That is the best I can do. :D

I miss this man so much, fuck Agnelli for this. Why did he have to do this, I have liked everything he has done bar this...I hate this.

Great, thanks man. The bold line is the one I couldn't understand, about the rest I just wanted to make sure :D

Fuck our management for pulling this shit on Alessandro. They might tout our unbeaten streak, but if it weren't for his goals last year we'd have finished second last season. Then suddenly the unbeaten record looks a lot less impressive and so does our team from top to bottom.
IMHO Andrea is scared, very scared. He is a nobody and the only thing going for him is his name, yet everyone that does bother to check about it ends up concluding that he is a 'chinese' Agnelli. He is an Agnelli with no real power - that's like a dog without teeth. The strong guy is John Elkann, the emblem and fan favourite is DP... why would they need AA for?
