Tidak lama sebelum tulisan ini dibuat, fans Juventus telah
kehilangan pemain yang paling pantas untuk dikagumi. Ya, Pertandingan final
Coppa Italia melawan Napoli tadi adalah pertandingan terakhir Alessandro Del Piero
bersama Juventus karena kontraknya tidak diperpanjang oleh manajemen Juventus.
Momen perpisahan King Alex
Kehebatan seorang pemain sepakbola baik dalam soal
kepribadian maupun kemampuan teknisnya dapat tergambarkan dari quotes untuk
dirinya. Berikut ini adalah kumpulan quotes untuk Del Piero yang saya kutip
dari berbagai sumber:
Carlo Ancelotti
"He is a world-class player who needs no introductions".
Mauro Camoranesi
"He is an exceptional person and really doesn’t need to prove himself to
anyone. Del Piero is a wonderful man and player."
Fabio Cannavaro
"In my view he’s the best person I’ve met in this sport."
Fabio Capello
"I believe in champions and Alex is a champion". "Del Piero is a
player of very high quality and deserves his record". Because of having
many strikers in the squad: "Sometimes I feel embarrassed at putting him
on the bench."
Frankie Dettori
"Del Piero is a true genius"
Angelo Di Livio
"I've met Ale at the Primavera. And he was already a phenomenon. He was so
brave that we forced the coach to make him debut at the main team".
"He has those abilities that only great stars have. And everyone, as soon
as they saw him, said “This one will surely make it".
Mark Hughes
"Even though Del Piero may be well into his 30s now, he remains one of the
great players".
Pepe Kamel
"With his charm and charisma he has won us all, his creativity and
magnificent talent have given us nothing more to ask for, and his free kicks,
no comment"
Marcello Lippi
"Del Piero is a champion with extraordinary technical ability and
wonderful characteristics. When he is selected he never disappoints. He is an example
to us all." "He has great skills and intuitions that few other
players have". "He is a captain in the real sense of the word".
Diego Maradona
Talking about the best 100 world footballers ever he says "Here he is, he
is different from Zidane, he likes to play, he feels it in his soul; between he
and the French (Zinedine Zidane), I stay with him."
Adrian Mutu
"Alex is an example for all of us. He works hard in training without ever
speaking out."
Ruben Olivera
"Del Piero is my idol. When I arrived at Juventus and I was introduced to
Alex, it was like touching the heavens with my finger"
Fabrizio Ravanelli
"Del Piero is able to do certain things, that could seem extraordinary,
but he does them like they were simple"
Alessio Tacchinardi
"He (Del Piero) always comes to the training field with a smile for
everyone, a comforting word for everyone. This is his greatness: humbleness...
he’s a golden person".
Giuseppe Taglialatela
The former SSC Napoli keeper recalls a goal conceded from Del Piero:
"Let’s say he scored a goal a la Baggio, a la Maradona. He took the ball
in midfield, dribbled 3-4 teammates of mine. He’s good, what can I say?"
Gianluca Zambrotta
"It’s still surprising to me that Alessandro Del Piero has gone through
his career without winning this trophy" (the Ballon d'Or).
Nicola Legrottaglie
"For us he's an example. He's an exceptional lad outside the playing
field, and consequently also on the pitch. He always proves this and he proves
it in spirit.I arrived here five years ago and I saw him in a certain way, but
after five years, now I'm seeing the first Del Piero again, the one I admired
many years ago."
Gary Neville
"He is the greatest player i have ever played against, he twisted me
incredibly."
Andrea Agnelli
“For a lot of people, Del Piero is still a Superhero. For me, Del Piero will
always be the Superhero of Juventus. His role in this team? Superhero will
always be a part of the team.”
Lionel Messi
“He is a great player who has given everything to football,
to Juventus and to Italy,” said triple Ballon d’Or winner Lionel Messi. “To me,
he plays a beautiful, clean type of football, and he is a man to admire.”
Iker Cassilas
“This time we have to worry about being efficient and
keeping an eye on Del Piero,” said Madrid keeper Iker Casillas before the
return fixture. “He can beat you in many ways.” And he did. Two superb goals,
including a trademark free-kick, earned him a deserved standing ovation from
all areas of the famous stadium as he was substituted moments from the end of Juve’s
2-0 win. Only a select few visitors - Diego Maradona, Ronaldinho and Messi -
have been granted such a privilege in Madrid by the notoriously hard to please
home fans.
Marek Hamsik
"Del Piero is a phenomenon. He has made history at
Juventus over the past 19 years with loads of victories. I don't like the use
of superlatives, but we are talking about a truly extraordinary player, who
still is very strong."
Dan berikut ini adalah quotes dari Del Piero:
Alessandro Del Piero
"Money is not everything. My ambition was football
itself, not the money I'd make from it. If that brings me and my family a more
comfortable lifestyle, then that's fine. But I don't spend my time between
games and training sessions thinking about figures."
"Luckily, thanks to the way my parents taught me, I think I can handle the
fame in the right manner."
"I'm happy that you have smiled, cheered, cried, sung,
shouted for me and with me. No colour will ever be brighter for me than black
and white. You've made my dream come true. More than any other thing, today I
just want to say THANK YOU."
"I don't mean to judge Ferarra's comment, but I think
no one of Juventus player deserve to called Donkey."
Dan quote yang paling terkenal tentu saja adalah:
"A true gentleman never leaves his lady"
(Un vero cavaliere non lascia mai una signora)
Quote yang muncul pada waktu terjadi eksodus pemain saat
Juventus terdegradasi ke Serie B akibat mengalami skandal calciopoli.
Itulah tadi, Del Piero, pemain rendah hati dengan
kepribadian yang sungguh luar biasa,he's the man of passion. There will
never be another Del Piero.
Grazie King Alex.. We love you.. :')
Grazie King Alex
