Alessandro Del Piero Recalled Moments of Playing with Zinedine Zidane

DBasia.news – Alessandro Del Piero had defended a team with the current Real Madrid manager Zinedine Zidane. This happened when both of them strengthened Juventus.

The togetherness of Alessandro Del Piero with Zinedine Zidane at Juventus lasted for five seasons, from 1996 to 2001 ago. Even though it was a long time ago, the former Juve captain apparently still remembered the moments of his colleague’s greatness.

Not to forget, the Juventus legend also mentioned that the player who is familiarly called Zizou was a shy figure. However, he claimed to be very suitable for a duet with his partner.

“When I arrived Zizou was a quiet child, very humble, but I was well suited to the other players. At Juventus he grew incredible as a player. He has great talent but I improved in many ways because he was there,” Del Piero said to the US on Saturday (05/02).

“We have five magical seasons. We can win more trophies, but from the standpoint of his playing style, the pleasure of watching him, as well as the techniques shown, he is clearly a pure footballer. What he achieved was extraordinary. He was successful with the national team and Real Madrid,” he added.

The togetherness of Italian and French players at the Turin club ended in 2001. At that time Zidane was made the most expensive player in the world by Real Madrid with a tag of 77 million euros. While Alessandro Del Piero stayed at Juve until 2012.
