Used to love him since this interview:
Then 2 years later happened what we all know, but I don't blame him. He was 24 and had to show himself, going in Serie B at that age can be disgraceful for a career. Then Del Piero and Trezeguet were already staying, and there would have been to much WC players to play in Serie B. And, then again that disgraceful management wanted to sell him anyway.
The thing I enjoy more about him is that he always defended his 2 Scudetti won with Juve and stripped uncorrectly (unlike someone else), even at Inter. In a famous interview after 2007 paper scudetto with Inter, in the middle of the team, the interviewer (a random bitch) says "It's the first scudetto you win here in Italy, what's your feeling?", he looks to her very angry and says "First? It's the third I win here!" and walks away with his style.
And he always spoke kindly about Juve, even in his book, underlying that Calciopoli was an injustice and that is our team where he becam great. Not to mention his sons support Juve as well (or at least they had both a Juve shirt in a photo).
