That's it. That's the final drop. I'm quitting this forum.

Instead of realising what a great player Del Piero used to be and still is (as proved his stunning goal against Roma the other day) people on this forum go on and on bashing Del Piero. We, so called Del Piero lovers, are told be objective. In all our humbleness we obey and try to be objective by looking at the statistics.

Now what do these statistics (which provide us with the only way of looking at football objectively) show us? That Del Piero has won the scudetto numerous times, that he's on his way of becoming Juve's topscorer of all times, that he scored 14 last year (which is five more than the guy you all want at Juve) and that he has played for Juventus for an incredible amount of time. Besides being a great football player, Del Piero has got that rare thing called club love.

But that's not all. Del Piero does all he can to avoid any controversy. He could have argued in the press last season. He could have shown how unhappy he was. But instead of ruining the team's moral Del Piero decided to work hard and try to be succesful whenever he got to play. When Zlatan was stupid enough to get a three game ban, it was Del Piero who stood up and gave away an awesome display in the most important game of the season. But instead of bashing Zlatan for not being there, people on this forum still decided to make a mockery out of DP's career.

"He's not the player he used to be" or "He's all washed up" they say around here. Let me first dismiss all that talk of Del Piero not being a good football player for the last five seasons. In 2001-2002 he scored 16 times and gave various assists. In the last game of the season he also scored a vital goal. In 2002-2003 he scored 16 times in the Serie A and made a number of goals in the Champions League. The most important being the one against Real. He was also one out of two players to score a penalty kick for Juventus in the final. What do we say? "Del Piero's a choker".
Right.

So please go on and have your little childish fights. Tell people Del Piero's old and that it's time to move on. Tell people you want that Bari thug at Juve. Tell people it's cool how Zlatan elbows and fights on the pitch. Tell people what good football players those are. Tell people it's awesome how they behave off the pitch.

But let me tell you this: Del Piero's way out of their league. He's head and shoulders above Zlatan and Cassano. Both on and off the pitch they will never have what Del Piero has: class.

Azzurri: Cassano gets Dublin chop Sunday 14 August, 2005

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Antonio Cassano has been left out of Wednesday’s friendly trip to Ireland, but Alessandro Del Piero and Francesco Totti return to the fold.

The Roma starlet has been under pressure with his recent contract dispute and Coach Marcello Lippi opted not to bring him along in this current climate.


It is an important call for Del Piero, as the Juventus captain had not worn the Azzurri jersey since September 2004, while Totti returns after he was dropped as a disciplinary measure for the World Cup qualifier in Norway.


Fiorentina’s new signing Luca Toni and Milan man Christian Vieri are also included in the Italy front line for this test in Dublin.


Lippi has made most of his experiments in midfield with the inclusion of Sampdoria’s Aimo Diana, Palermo player Simone Barone and Reggina winger Giandomenico Mesto – a former Under-21 international.


The squad will meet at the Coverciano training ground on Monday afternoon before flying out to the Republic of Ireland for the Lansdowne Road encounter on Wednesday evening.



Italy squad:


Gk: Buffon, De Sanctis, Roma;


D: Barzagli, Cannavaro, Grosso, Materazzi, Nesta, Zaccardo, Zambrotta;


M: Barone, Camoranesi, De Rossi, Diana, Gattuso, Mesto, Pirlo;


F: Del Piero, Gilardino, Iaquinta, Toni, Totti, Vieri.
