Forza Juventus! Forza Del Piero

Congratulations to Alessandro Del Piero! Finally he is crowned the top scorer of serie of season 2007/2008! I believe he could not wait for this moment! The last time he nearly got the award was during season 1997/1998 which then he and Fillipo Inzaghi contributed a total of 39 goals in the league and eventually helped Juventus to get the champion of that season! What a moment!

Since season 1995/1996, Del Piero has been my all time favourite! He is the soul of Juventus. His fate decides the fate of Juve! The Juve in the late 90's was really really impressive! Back then the serie A standard was high, there were so many superstarts playing in different serie A teams, and serie A teams always never missed the quarter onward of the european level cups such as Champion's League , UEFA Cup and etc.

Del Piero was known as an excellent playmaker then. However since season 1996/1997 he loves to play as forward. He found his area of movement which is widely known as the Del Piero's Territory. Too bad he got injured badly in season 1998/1998 which also caused Juve to fall to no. 6 in that season.

After he was back from injury. He struggled very much to restore to its peak form. His freekick and penalty is still sharp but somehow his physical strength dropped very much. He was so easily tackled and tripped down. I thought i would have never had the chance to see him topping the scoring chart of serie A again but surprisingly! He made it this season!!!

Good work, Del Piero!

Juve was great from year 1994 - 1996

Juventus won a few championship during this period. I still cannot forget great players then such as Vialli, Ravanelli, Baggio, Di Livio, Deschamps, Toricelli, Peruzzi and so on...

Juventus dominated the final match against Ajax Amsterdam, you can see they are the one launching more attacks than Ajax. At one time Lippi even put 5 attackers on the field: Vialli, Jugovic, Ravanelli, Del Piero, Di Livio.
