Del Piero: Tiago Is A Great Player

Alessandro Del Piero has offered some words of support for Tiago Mendes and says he is a great player despite the midfielder’s struggles.

Tiago signed for the Bianconeri last summer from Lyon but has been a huge flop so far this season.


"He is a great player, but so far he has failed to fully prove himself,” Del Piero told Tuttosport when asked about Tiago.

“It is something that happens a lot when you come into a new environment. Tiago is capable of doing everything but he must stay calm and just train well, as indeed he is already doing. Hence in the end I am sure that he will give us a lot.”

Del Piero was also asked for his opinion on loan-signing Guglielmo Stendardo, who made his debut for the club in the midweek defeat by Inter in the Coppa Italia.

"I think he played a good game,” Del Piero stated.

“The whole of Juve produced a good performance on Wednesday, we didn’t concede much to Inter.

“Stendardo was good, especially when you consider that it is never easy to fit into the mechanics of a new team, especially on the defensive side of things.”

“It is something that happens a lot when you come into a new environment. Tiago is capable of doing everything but he must stay calm and just train well, as indeed he is already doing.”

And I wonder how long, too. Perhaps since the start of the season?

Maybe Ranieri just wanted an excuse not to field the player, so he just said he wasn't fit because Tiago was never going feature in his plans. That seems to be the case the more we work our way through the comments.

Tiago's in the call ups for tomorrow!

Tiago better pull something special this match, dammit.

Nice gesture from Del Piero but Tiago is far from a great player.

i bet we score at least 2 goals with tiago starting. how much we concede is another story though.

I wonder what people would say if Tiago scores a hat-trick tomorrow

i would say it would have been nice if our defense didn't allow 4 goals

I`d probably blame Ranieri for taking him out for no reason after scoring his 3rd.

And putting on Molinaro who is responsible for all 4 of their goals.

 

[Dostoevsky]

:wth:

How can he be responsible for all goals if he was benched?

 

[Ahmed]

hate to say it, but he will probably be taken off at HT

 

[Salvatore]

Hey, not my fault!

 

[Dostoevsky]

 

[Salvatore]

Undeservedly taken off. Ranieri has a grudge against him.

 

[CAPITANO]

Undeservedly taken off. Ranieri has a grudge against him.

He will never be successful under Ranieri, plays good gets taken off plays bad gets taken off why doesn't Ranieri use this tactic on any other player?
There were a few more players who played worst than Tiago but they never get touched.

He gave a really nice pass to Trez in the first half....Ranieri should have taken off Nocerino imo..the team was in need of creativity not 2 destroyers.
