Alessandro Del Piero a.k.a. "Pinturicchio" (born November 9, 1974 in Conegliano) is an Italian football player. He usually plays as a forward or between the midfield and the strikers. He is not the tallest of forwards, and is more of a creative forward rather than a "goal poacher". Del Piero is renowned for his deadly finishing, and the ease in which he dribbles past defenders. He is an expert in dead ball situations, and seems to have the ability to hit the target from almost anywhere on the pitch.\n\nDel Piero started his professional career in 1991 with Padova of Italian Serie B. In 1993, he transferred to Juventus, and has been there ever since. With the Turin club, he won the Serie A championship six times (1995, 1997, 1998, 2002, 2003, and 2005), the Champions League (1996), and the Toyota Cup (1996). His best season was in 1997-98, when he scored 21 goals in Serie A and finished top scorer in the UEFA Champions League with 10 goals, which included a peach of a freekick against Monaco in the semi finals. Del Piero struggled for form at the beginning of the 1998-99 season, whilst many doping allegations were wrongly aimed at him. In October he picked up a serious knee injury in the 2-2 draw with Udinese. This kept him out of action for the remainder of the season. Juventus struggled without him and limped home to a lowly 6th place in Serie A. Many people claim that Del Piero has never fully recovered from this injury, and therefore never quite fulfilled the potential he had shown at a very young age. His nickname is Pinturicchio, in reference to a joke by Gianni Agnelli when he belittled the emerging Del Piero to the master Roberto Baggio in a parallel between modest painter Pinturicchio from Perugia and the great Raphael.\n\nOne of Del Piero's greatest strengths as a footballer is his versatility, which allows him to play in a variety of attacking positions. While he started his club career playing as a full-fledged striker, he very quickly matured into a more influential role, occupying the pivotal playmaker's position just behind the strikers. It is in this zone that his prowess as a creator of goals came to the fore. His creative abilities and potential were best utilised after Marcello Lippi took over as Juventus coach in the late 1990s. Lippi's incisive coaching acumen and his love for playing the "trident" in attack led him to give Del Piero increased opportunities to play the free role in a position the Italians like to call the trequartista - a different kind of playmaker who plays just behind the strikers, yet not quite in midfield. Del Piero very quickly made this position his own, combining effectively with the likes of Zinedine Zidane and Filippo Inzaghi to form an ultra-creative Juventus strike force. Later on, his partnerships with Pavel Nedved in midfield and David Trezeguet upfront contributed enormously to Juve's continued success in Italy and Europe, as the club conquered two successive Scudettos (in 2002 and 2003) and finished runners-up to AC Milan in the UEFA Champions League (2003).

I hope he becomes a good player. I doubt he'll ever be World class, but he'll probably be pretty good. Alexander Hleb was a bad move. He sucked with Moldova when they lost to Scotland just before he signed with the Gooners. Oh, I'm a Gooner, by the way.

I think Alessandro Del Piero is damn sexy, has made this heart melt since the 2002 WC and also Tim Cahill from the Socceroo's. Hey girls just because we can have a bit of fun in the sexy man stakes doesn't mean we know nothing about the game. We just have the extra bonus of watching hundreds of gorgeous guys ply their trade as well as the enjoyment of the game...lol.

totti is overated, very overated, i think he is possibly the most overated player in the world and he plays like a poor mans frank lampard, if you mean brazils ronaldo then he is having weight problems at the minute but he is fantastic, the defining player of a generation, 15 world cup goals says it all, has had problems with form for the last couple of seasons but still ronaldo would walk onto any teamsheet be it chelsea, barca or juventus he is the best striker in the world.  inzaghi is technically gifted and a good forward, i wouldnt say he is especially good just good, klose has an eye for goal and probably the best header of the ball in the world, crespo plays football like he is painting a masterpiece, he is a little overated but very very classy, del piero played in tottis place the other day and played well but he is only a shadow of his former self he used to be a great player but for the last few seasons in the champs leaugue he has been poor messi is a name to look out for in the future he hammered chelsea at camp nou but has been largely left out of the argentina team at this world cup, he has graced our screens one or twice and has looked good but come 2010 he will be the star of the tournament, so so talented i would go as far to say that along with arjen robben he is the most talented winger in the world and a huge huge star of the future, i dont know who this bal is sorry, the best player on that list is ronaldo( if you mean brazils ronaldo) ronaldo is the best player of his generation, ohhh bal is michael ballack, ballack reminds me of steven gerrard and michale essien, he is class true class great range of passing, great tackler, powerful shot, never runs out of energy, ballack could play centre half or centre forward and would not disapoint in either, a great midfielder and  a great commited footballer as his performances have shown,

I just can't believe it dude! So there are american people who know my town's team? I've seen him play several times: he's fast, has a good technical level, and he knows well how to call for the ball at the right time. The only negative point, is that he doesn't seem to integrate himself well in the team strategy. In France, we would say that he seems to be a bit too "perso". But I do think he could be Nantes's greatest offensive player next season. Unfortunately, the only one that doesn't understand that he deserves to be part of the first eleven seems to be Serge Le Dizet (Nantes's coach)...

Zlatan Ibrahimovic (n° 10 de la séléction suédoise) a évolué à l'Ajax Amsterdam (Pays-Bas) et était très adulé là bas. Il a ensuite rejoint la Juventus de Turin (Italie) mais on dirait qu'il a perdu de son efficacité ...
