I've supported Del Piero for a year.The first time for me to know about this guy was in the commercial advertisement of Adidas.He scored the only goal in that "copied men" match.I know he's a good football player through the games I watch of Juventus and then I started supporting him.
Team Italy was defeated by team France in the World Cup!!!It's really the worst news for the Italy supporter like me!I've watched all the games of Italy in the World Cup and I was quite disappointed because Del Piero cannot return to his best condition in the games.I think it's really a bad experience for him.He was badly affected by his injury and so he couldn't play well in the World Cup.Many people think that he's not good enough to play for Italy,but I have the opposite opinion.Although he could not enter a goal for Italy,he attracted many defenders to follow him.If you had watched the games of Italy,you'll think that I'm right.I've counted that the attacks from the opposite team was mainly against Del Piero.In the game against Austria,I've counted that the player of No.8 has offended Del Piero for 5 times!The attacks against Del Piero is one of the most serious players in Italy.If Del Piero is not a dangerous player,I suppose no one would offend him.The above is not the official counts and it's just a silly counts by me.^.^Actually,I do agree that Del Piero didn't play well in the World Cup.I really hope that he'll return to the highest condition in the games of Juventus.Best wishes to him!!!
Del Piero is waiting for his first goal in the World Cup and of course I hope this will appear soon.
If you have any information or pics of him,please send them to me.Thank You Very Much!!!

Del Piero is very very important to the team as it can be shown by the data above. The results of 18 matches without Del Piero were 4 win, 7 draws and 7 loss. I don't mean that Del piero is the only player in Juve but I just want to say that Del Piero is really important. Inzaghi is good and he needs a partner--that's Del Piero! In my opinion, they're good partners and I think most of the fans would have this wish--Del Piero, Please return to the field! Actually, the loss of a team is not only dependent on the players but also some luck. I hope Alex will bring back the luck to Juve after his return. He's golden boy!!!
