That's really a bad way how to justify someone's performance
That's really a bad way how to justify someone's performance
Saying that Del Piero was the reason that Juventus did not attack is wrong. Del Piero did not play a good game, and I think that the reason is he was avioding injury. That is my opinion, everyone is entilted to his own.
You are absolutely right, this is the same reason he was one of the best players in the three matches he played this season if not the best.
He did not have a good game, that does not make him not capable.
Zlatan had a few terible games early this seaon, can we say that he is not capable?
Nedved had a terrible game this seaon, I think he is also not capable.
Zlatan was a sub in Ascoli's match, when Del Piero scored a brace, he had a terrible second half (the period he played). I don't recall you saying he did not perform because it is related to his capabilities? Please remind me if you did.

Seriously I respect the opinions but that's a really bad one there. Why the heck did he play then if he didn't want to get injured? Of course that's not the reason! For any Juve player to play against Inter is something big and would give everything they have in that game.
If DP really did that then he wouldn't deserve to play at all. Juve did not attack cos of DP, that's very obvious, but unfortunately once we lost Zlatan and Trez, we lost a lot of potential for counter attack football, something which is not in DP's style of play.
Why do we have to justify everything? Can't we just say he had a bad game just like Zlatan had before? There's no reason why he had a bad game, he just had it.

I agree that the opinon is not a good one. But I have to disagree with you Glennon why Juve did not attack. DP does not take the whole blame, the problem was stemming from the midfield. We all know that Vieira and Emerson are the dynamos and depending on their position on the pitch the team either attacks or defend. These two were shutting down Inter and thus could not feed neither the front line nor the flanks.
But here you raised one important issue, DP's weakness in counter-attacks (EURO final against France comes flashes in front of me). This is where I agree with Zlatan in the match thread when he said that Mutu should have come instead of DP. Zlatan did not say why, but I know he means and knows that Mutu can handle a counter attack much better.

Re-read what I said Jeeks, I said:
Just to be clear, I said it's not DP's fault we did not attack it's cos we lost two players who are better suited than DP for quick counter attacks. It's obvious it's not his fault that we had to play that way and he can't do anything when the team plays like that. He has qualities for other tactical situations.
But yes I perfectly agree on the second paragraph, though to be fair, Capello didn't know that Trez would get injured, and for counter attacks he would have been perfect as he would have stayed in the middle for the long ball and maybe put one in.

True. The problem Is 95% midfield. But then there is what options do the midfield have when it comes to positioning or play options. As in Barca there is always 2 or 3 players available to receive the ball.
Another important factor is this:
You know when a goalie is insecure it affects the hole defence making them shaky and eventually to play bad. They lose confidence in him so they stop coming up in attacks and so on.
The same with midfielders or attackers but in a much much smaller scale. You change your play because of the people near and around you.
Also true.
But with for example Mutu I believe we would have had a different game. Not just cause his faster and better in counterattack, also because he would have opened space in the centre as he often goes wide. And draws attention to himself in a great way.

Well I wouldn't have put Del Piero either alone. Zalayata is not fast. I think that Mutu should've been fielded either with Zalayata or with Del Piero for fast counter attacks.
My point was, del piero can do better, he didn't. I felt that he backed off scared of injury. I am not justifying his bad performance I am explaining it.
Looking at what Inter players were doing, I might have put Mutu and Zalayata instead of Del Piero and Zalayata.
