okay, del piero is an almazing player, although I think that we lost more because of an iron defence in the midfield from juve. The goal he scored was in fact an amazing footbalistic move: I explain.
Cannavaro knows del piero, he knows him very well, he knows del piero is not the kind of guy that will score screamers (unles sits a FK)
So when he sees del piero in front of the area, instead of going at him and probably make a VERY dangerous foul EXACTLY where del piero likes it, he covers his weak foot.
9 out of 10 times, with a keeper like casillas a shot from distance with delpiero's wrong foot wouldn't have been in the net.
That time it did...
I find it amazinf because 1: it shows to what point cannavaro can be intelligent
and 2: because when at your prime you've been compared to baggio it means that in reality you've got no real weak spot
I hate Italy, of course but Baggio was just perfect. I wish spain had their philsophy, ironminded tactical knowledge, not bothered about playing well or not, just winning and creative players that for the last twenty years that can easely be compared to spanish, brazilian, argentinian or holland top technical players (baggio, del piero, totti, pirlo are the ones that come immediatly in mind, but am sure there habe been others).
As a matter of fact they usually are perfect: I am 25 the first keeper I saw they had was pagliuca, and since then they ALWAYS had one of the top three gk in the world, well italian defence better not speak about it, a midfield with incredibly talented players that fulfill perfectly their role both in defence and in attack, and finally forwards of incredible talent. And it's just always like that, and the worst is that they don't mind playing with a defence with an average age of 35 because they don't need to run, they know what you gonna do before you even know it.
And they are almost invincible in penalties.
Well, out of topic but I can assure you that I HATE ITALY (in football, italian girls are incredibly beautiful) I HATE ITALIAN TEAMS and definetly I am scared of Italy, they are like a 09 team, one shot one goal shut up shop and goodbye.
All that to say that I don't underestimate them at all, I admire them.
But if legends win the CL, then I rest assured Raul (yesterday he became the topscorer in active of the liga, he is the alltime topscorer of the CL, and the alltime topscorer of the spanish national team, not bad for a guy that spends half the match in the midfield or on the sides) will win alone, and well we've got casillas and cannvaro, talking about legends
We were owned by Ranieri, not Del Piero.
If you have bothered reading everything Im sorry, you didn't need to do so its just that I am bored
CAN'T WAIT FOR FEBRUARY!!!!!!!!!!
