1. Because in the Bayern game, even though Zlatan's penetration was excellent, he did not provide an assist. He put up a shot that Kahn should have easily handled. Del Piero was good enough to be in the right place at the right time, managing to avoid the offside trap. Now it was just a tap in, but if you consider it closely, he really wasn't doing what he's good at. Taps like these were Trezeguet's job, but Del Piero was able to adapt in order to accomodate Zlatan more than Zlatan did to accomodate Alex.

Oh please, be coherent in your player's analysis guys.
