Every single tiem I watch one of Del Piero's early goals (pre 98-injury), I can't help but to think of what magnitude of a player he would have been. He was a pragmatic and efficient Baggio. Less magic, more product. I bet when people talk about Zidane and Ronaldo as the two great in that period, they would have mentioned Alex as well. His 97/98 season was a good as Zidane's (on club level). Stupid Udinese game
If you didn't see Del Piero play in 97/98, you haven't seen him play at all.
