Juve, Del Piero as Giggs: fewer matches but more value

Del Piero is and will be there next year. The renewal of the Juventus bench and the captain takes the beginning of 2011 and what might seem like just a trivia, a chat between old friends, became a genuine smash: Del Piero will be in Turin for next season ? The last time his brother Attorney Marotta met way back in February, that meeting had ended with yet another declaration of love for the jersey that for almost 20 years, was lying on his back.

"We will sign a blank contract just to stay at Juventus," said Del Piero immediately, a statement that stunned fans and management, as seen from that time as the number one cause of the pending renewal of the captain. To think now that his confirmation would go from winning goal scored Sunday against Brescia seems almost a joke.

How can the future of a player with 484 appearances, but most of all 202 centers in assets, decided to be insignificant after playing half a season, he shouts out loud the people black and white. Maybe in Corso Galileo Ferraris thought that Juventus was no longer needed him, and incorrect thought immediately denied by the network to Pinturicchio scored the team Iachini.

At Juventus may not serve as an unmovable Del Piero, Del Piero, but a driver and the heart of the locker room, yes. The captain could not play and maybe think about a future for Giggs, 37 springs and 20 consecutive seasons at United, plays little part from the bench often, but when called never disappoints.
