2010-08-28GOODBYE DAVID

Dear David,
The moment has come to say good bye. I've given up counting the
seasons we played together and the goals we scored. Surely we are the
couple that scored the most goals in the whole Juve history, more than
Charles and Sivori - two great champions - you know that well, and we
are both proud of it.
How many line-ups during these years were always like that: Del Piero
and Trezeguet, Trezeguet and Del Piero. How many victories, and
disappointments (luckily much less than satisfactions we managed to
get), how many hugs: there wasn't another team mate I played with more
than with you.
Seventeen goals a year in average, like your jersey number: that's
more than enough to prove what kind of bomber you are. But I, who
played by your side, don't need any numbers. I'm honoured to have
played in a pair with, no doubt, one of the world greatest forward.
Now we go different ways, it happens in football. I'll say good bye to
you in our changing room, but I also wanted to do so in public: good
luck for your new adventure. We'll keep a lot of memories to share,
for the next time we see each other.
Good bye, David.
 
Your team mate Alessandro
