Well thats true,, and I see Del Piero as a big boost for us during big matches. Just check the Matches of the CL. They were all tough, and he was there. Match against Roma and Lazio (although at Lazio he missed one easy shot. but never the less the team had spirit).
I won't talk about last season since the whole team was down. Look at the season before, the season where we played against AC Milan in the Final. In that season the whole team was playing well, but still you cannot miss that Alex Del Piero scored 16 goals in 24 games in the Scudetto and 5 goals in the Champions League.
So yes he does game the team a spirit boost when he's playing.
