Disregarding how good Del Piero and Trezeguet was, isn't it so that Lippi's conviction to play them has been on the cost of many talented players development. A choice that must have costed us many millions, buying and selling players for just a year is a very costful businees.
When you have two strikers combining well and bringing you goals/assists... part of the team that also managed to bring you trophies...of course It wont be easy to put or risk any youngester or even the likes of Micco or Di Vaio instead of one Trezeguet or Del Piero. makes no sense at all.
i can tell you of the top of my head one such situation. del piero gets injured, the big game against milan, di vaio comes in and scores an amazing goal and plays a great game. when del piero comes back, di vaio is automatically on the bench
so you all, wake up, that is/was/will be part of the reason
every coach has their favourites, for lippi it was dp, for capello it was zlatan
Apart from the goal Di Vaio scored against Milan, he was pretty much useless not to also mention that he lost like 4 chances atleat in that game. Check your facts.
Well, here It shows the diff and the class between these two coaches, Lippi had Del Piero and Crapello had Zlatan.

.....make your math and your football and let me know who's better.
still, that doesn't mean that we didn't lose talents because of him
Name me one player we lost because of Del Piero???
It's amazing how people get to blame Del Piero on some sort of things, he has nothing to do with it.
As If he's the one who asked Micco, Di Vaio and the strikers we had before them to be putten on the transfer list. Seriously, I think It's enough putting blame on this man.
Like Seven said, history will keep telling who was the best option....next thing we'll hear is that Edgar Davids left because Del Piero didn't allow him to use him shaving foam.
if di viao lived to his potential then it would all be worth it
What planet are you living in? what potential are you talking about, we've seen what he's capable of in Monaco and Valencia and so on....
Get off Del Piero's back ffs....
