Del Piero Reflects Upon Old Lady Marriage
Juventus striker Alessandro Del Piero has reflected on his 15 year marriage with the Old Lady and he insists he is delighted at having played in the black and white jersey for so long.
The captain, talisman and all round hero is the club's all time top scorer and apperance record holder.
He signed from Padova in 1993 and quickly became their heir to Roberto Baggio's throne. Del Piero has spoken of his love for the Old Lady and he hopes it continues.
"I am very happy to have spent all this time at the club," said Del Piero.
"I have shared so many ambitions, battles, victories and defeats but I am happy.
"My marriage with Juventus has been fantastic and I have enjoyed every second."
His coach Claudio Ranieri also spoke about Pinturricchio and he was full of praise for his star captain.
"Del Piero isn't a champion because of his technical ability which everyone knows about but because of his seriousness, morality and professionalism as well as his willingness to put his own needs second for the black and white jersey," added Ranieri.
The Bianconeri clash with Catania in week four of Serie A and the league leaders will be hoping for more points as they continue their good start to the 2008/09 season.
Del Piero is unlikely to feature however, with his coach deciding to rest him and use Vincenzo Iaquinta instead..
