Every generation in Italy has a genius.
He, as a skilled and talented leader,
Such players are called "golden boys"
There was Ross in the eighties.
There was Baggio in the 1990s.
The new century belongs to him-
Alessandro del Piero
One of Del Piero's stories, My Family.
A teenager from Corigliano-Conegliano, with his love for football and his godsend talent, established himself as the second generation golden boy in Italian football at the age of 20. He is Alessandro Del Piero, another protagonist in Italian football fairy tales.
● Father-Janu
Del Piero was born in Nu, Corea, into a family of four. Although his father Genu is a street lamp repairman of Enal, an Italian power company, he is diligent and thrifty, but he has brought a stable and worry-free life to his family. Del Piero is the youngest in the family, with a difference of 10 years from his brother Stefano. Stefano looks 80% like his father, while Del Piero looks like his mother Buner.
Del Piero described his father as "my father is a bear" in an essay in primary school. In Del Piero's mind, Janu is a good father who loves his family, has a kind attitude and treats others kindly, just like a little toy beside his bed-a bear, which is cute and gentle. Knowing that his son has a strong interest in football, Janu installed electric lights in his back garden, so that Gendre Piero can still play football with his neighbor's children in the back garden after finishing his homework for a day. Del Piero wrote in his diary: "Today, I saw my father climbing up and down the lamppost in the back garden. Soon, the garden became very bright. From today on, I can practice playing football in the back garden every night. Thanks to my father's light! " Although it is only a simple thing, it shows how hard Janu takes care of his family!
Treating his family, Janu is undoubtedly a kind and obedient father. But on some issues concerning his son's future, this loving father will also have his stubborn side. Del Piero's football talent has attracted the attention of many big club scouts since he was 1 1 years old. Among them, scouts in Padua actively lobbied Janu Gendre Piero to join Padua for training. Even though Del Piero often pretends to be pitiful in his eyes and tone, Janu always insists that Gendre Piero can go to Padua for training after completing junior high school courses.
At that time, Del Piero was still young, but he also understood his father's pains. Three years later, 14-year-old Del Piero arrived in Padua under the arrangement of his father, and lived in his father's good friend's house, which was well taken care of. In order not to let his parents worry about his future, Del Piero still studied accounting courses in business school during his training in Padua, and obtained the junior accounting qualification. Although this is not a great professional qualification, if you get a junior accounting qualification in Italy, you will basically have no worries about finding a job. Even though the treatment was just average, for Del Piero's parents, the stone in their hearts finally fell to the ground.
Mother-Buner
Del Piero's mother Buna is a typical housewife. She keeps all the housework in order. She regards her family as a castle. She is not only the hostess in the castle, but also a great guardian in the castle.
In Del Piero's primary school composition, his mother Buner is described as a kangaroo, while his younger brother Stefano and himself are in the bag. Perhaps Buner often hugs them, and Gendre Piero feels this way!
It is Buna's character to protect her family everywhere. Even though Del Piero has become a "golden boy" in Italy, whenever someone mentions something about Del Piero in front of her, she will share it with her eldest son Stefano. In an interview with the media, when the reporter asked how Del Piero devoted himself to football, Buner took the opportunity to tell the story of Stefano: "Alessandro's brother Stefano is actually a skilled player. He just had bad luck and failed to make a career in football." She also said: "Sampdoria youth team coach M Lippi's evaluation of Stefano is wrong. If Lippi gives Stefano a chance and time, I believe he will make a difference in Italian football. " Buner is still dissatisfied with Lippi's decision. She said angrily: "Once I met Lippi again in Verona, I didn't hesitate to go up and tell him that if you give Stefano a chance, you will have two Piero!" At that time, Lippi's response was that you are the happiest mother in Italy! " When asked about her husband Janu, Buna will explain in more detail: "Janu is not only a loyal husband, but also a person who has contributed to society. It is generally believed that people who work in Italian power companies are irresponsible slackers, but Janu is definitely an exception. In order to solve the problem of street lamp failure, he will climb to the lamp post to repair it at noon in hot summer. His back pain has a lot to do with years of hard work. Recently, he had to undergo surgery to relieve the pain. Fortunately, now that he has retired, he enjoys his old age with a pension. "
For Brian, the happiest thing is not to see his son become the highest-paid player in Italy, but to see both sons grow up and complete the accounting course in business school together. As a mother, Buna has fulfilled all her basic responsibilities.
● Brother-Stefano
Del Piero's brother Stefano is older than him 10 years old. Del Piero's interest in football is directly related to his brother being a professional player. Del Piero once described his brother as a "dolphin" in an elementary school composition. While watching a TV program about animal ecology, Del Piero realized that dolphins are smart and like to help their own kind of animals. When the teacher asked them to describe their brother as an animal, Del Piero thought of the lovely animal "dolphin". Although the age gap between their brothers has reached 10, it does not affect their good relationship. Del Piero has a high degree of respect and trust for his brother, and we can know a thing or two from the fact that he still keeps in touch with his brother twice a day.
Whenever people talk about his brother, Piero always looks a little sad. He always thought that the main reason for his success today was that he got help from his brother. In fact, when Dandel Piero first received football training, Stefano was like Del Piero's football consultant, helping him solve the problems he encountered.
Because his father Janu is a football fan, Stefano was deeply influenced by him when he was a child, and he had a strong interest in football since he was a child. /Kloc-At the age of 0/8, he successfully moved from Bindi local amateur team Mialou to the famous Genoa, and officially started his career. Stefano is a midfielder who is good at passing the ball. When he played for Mialu, an amateur team in Bindi, he was highly praised by the team chairman and coach. President Li Du francine once affirmed: "We have trained two Del Piero. Although my brother Alessandro has now become an emperor star in Italian football, my brother Stefano is actually better than his brother when it comes to his performance during his stay in Bindi Mialou. Unfortunately, he has never had a chance to get on the big stage. "
1982- 1983 season, Stefano moved to Genoa from Bindi Mialu and got a two-year professional contract. Stefano is stable in Genoa. Although he is not an excellent player, he also attracted the attention of Franco, the director of Inter Milan Club, and arranged for him to go to Milan for trial training. Regrettably, the two sides finally failed to reach further cooperation. After completing a two-year contract in Genoa, Stefano returned to the amateur team and continued his not-so-brilliant career.
The failure to challenge the professional league did not have much impact on Stefano. After returning to his hometown of Corigliano, he still faces the future with a relaxed mood, but Del Piero's admiration for him makes him feel a little embarrassed. When Stefano returned to his hometown to reunite with his family, Del Piero, who was only 10 years old, loudly said to his classmates at school: "My brother just came back from Genoa. If you like, Stefano is no longer a professional player, but he has no intention to explain more to his brother and classmates. Stefano and the boys cordially enjoyed most of the game. In this game full of laughter, Del Piero played the role of referee.
● Del Piero in the eyes of parents
In the eyes of his father Janu, Del Piero is a mature child. No matter what he does, he will start after some thinking and arrangement in advance. The most gratifying thing for my father is that when Del Piero 14 years old, the day before he left Corigliano for Padua, he said to his father, "I must make good arrangements for my future life with a positive attitude. I understand my father's concern for me. After practicing football, I will allocate my time well to my study. This is my own choice, and I won't waste my time on something meaningless. Give me some time and I will succeed! "
Although Del Piero is an active, confident and mature teenager, he is always a weak child in the eyes of his mother Buner. This is also related to the traffic accident at the age of Piero 10. Recalling that unpleasant experience, his mother Buner still seems a little excited, even though it was 10 years ago. "Del Piero 10 was unfortunately hit by a car on his way home from school. I had a bad feeling before his accident. That day, I heard the brakes suddenly coming from the kitchen window. I rushed out of the house and ran to the scene of the accident. It turned out that it was Del Piero who fell to the ground. At this moment, my heart seems to jump out. Fortunately, I heard his crying, indicating that his injury should not be too serious. " For the sake of safety, Buna decided to send her son to the nearest hospital for further examination and observation. Although Del Piero's injury was not serious after the doctor's treatment, on the second day of her hospitalization, the doctor gave her worse news: "We tested Del Piero's brain waves, and we found some unusual curves on the brain wave display chart." The brain doctor then asked Brenner, "Has he fainted or lost consciousness in the past few years?" Directly is the symptom of epilepsy! "Although Piero has never had epileptic symptoms since he was born, after many tests and examinations, the reports are all the same symptoms-even though Piero has become an irreplaceable main player of Juventus, there are still some shadows and concerns about Piero's health problems in the heart of this loving mother.
Del Piero's Second Story: The Man Who Found the Golden Boy
Del Piero can achieve today's achievements in Italian football, except for his own football talent and the efforts made the day after tomorrow, and the contribution of a middle-aged man who personally took him to professional football-Pi Durio Steinbrown will never be erased.
Pi Durio Shi Jian Dan Brown
Jane dan brown is a scout of Padua Club and has been observing ball games in Binidu for 20 years. The white-haired scout, who is nearly 50 years old, has always been silent and rarely takes the initiative to talk to people. But when recalling the discovery of Del Piero, Jane Brown will be excited and proud to say, "When I first watched Del Piero's game, he was only 13 years old. Compared with children of the same age, his figure is really thin, but what attracted my attention at first was not his ball skills, but his thick thighs out of proportion to his figure. Later, I spent several weeks watching his game and found that his skills were really different from those of other teammates. Among more than 20 players running around and kicking around, Del Piero is obviously the most prominent one. " Historian dan brown continued with a smile: "I don't understand why no one mentioned the name Del Piero before. It is incredible that a teenager with outstanding football talent has not been discovered by other scouts at the age of 14. I still remember asking him if he had been to any club for trial training. He replied that he had been to Turin for trial training, but unfortunately he was not hired because of his poor performance. "
When Jane dan brown thinks that Del Piero is so interested in football, he is going to arrange for Del Piero to receive training in Padua. However, at that time, Del Piero's parents did not object to their children's development in the direction of football. The only condition was for Gendre Piero to complete the middle school course and let him continue to study the high school course in the future. Of course, Piero, who has always been filial, did not disappoint his parents in the end. In the early days of Padua's training, Del Piero still spent part of his time on high school courses. It was not until he got his diploma in accounting that Del Piero's football career officially began.
Mr Nicoleda, a former middle school teacher, recalled Piero: "Piero was a rare good student. Although he chose football as his future career, his grades are not significantly different from those of other students, and he is more measured in dealing with people than his peers. He is a good student who impressed me deeply. "
● Make your first appearance in a professional league.
1992 March 15, Del Piero made his professional league debut. At that time, the coach of Padua in the second division was Bloom Maguia. In the second half of this Serie B match, at 65,438+00 minutes, Del Piero came on as a substitute for Budianli, who had withdrawn from the fire line due to injury. Although this is only a Serie B game, it is an important step in Piero's football career. After Del Piero stepped onto the pitch, he was obviously nervous at first. Fortunately, he was encouraged by teammate A. Dirvio and successfully completed the important first battle of his career. Since then, Del Piero and Di Livio have become close comrades-in-arms and fought side by side in Juventus.
Del Piero's debut did not leave him with perfect memories, because Padova lost 0-/Kloc-0-0 to his opponent. Marcia, who boldly used Del Piero, was fired after completing five league games because of the poor performance of the team. Kyle Sinyari took over as Padua's coach. He sent Piero as a substitute for two consecutive games, but unfortunately the victory never came to Piero. Padova drew with Lecce with 1 and 1 respectively, and lost to Palermo 0-2. Although the result was not ideal, Del Piero's performance won the trust of coach Xinyari, and Gendre Piero played as the main force in the match against Modena on May 3 1, 1992.
Del Piero recalled his feelings during his stay in Padua, and his rich expression has told everyone of his nostalgia for these days: "I made many friends in Padua, and the players I trained with in the youth team, such as Diffalanski, Bosgoron, Lagardi, Shadarian and Villanio, are all excellent players with superb skills. We worked hard for Padua's achievements and had a good time together. "
● Join Juventus
1992- 1993 season, Piero played in Padua 10 times. Although he only scored one goal, the fans were deeply impressed by the young striker's beautiful footwork and hoped that the team would give him more chances to play. At this moment, Padua's top management secretly discussed the transfer of Del Piero with key members of Juventus' board of directors. After a period of bargaining, the deal was finally settled at $2.7 million. When Juventus officially announced the successful signing of Del Piero, it was also the day when Del Piero learned that he had obtained a qualified certificate in the accounting diploma exam. This day is a double happiness for Del Piero. During Padua's time, Del Piero earned about $34,000 a year. After becoming a Juventus player, his annual salary rose sharply to $84,000. Italy's best-selling sports newspaper reported and introduced Del Piero's past for the seventh time in the album "Comet of the Ball", describing the Italian new star's football style very similar to that of Dutch star M van Basten.
In fact, the main reason why Juventus are so interested in Del Piero is to appreciate his attacking and defending football style. G Bonipetti, one of Juventus' top executives, explained at a board meeting why he bought the young player in Serie B and said to the directors in a positive tone: "His way of playing football is very similar to that of Van Basten of AC Milan. Although he doesn't have a strong body, his skills have made him have a pleasing performance on the court. His footwork is exquisite, and his dribbling skills are enough to break through 2-3 opposing players and intercept at the same time. The most important and valuable thing is that he has excellent defensive awareness and defensive skills, which is the player our team needs most in the next few years. "
Smart del. Del Piero is also aware of what the team expects of him. At the signing ceremony, Del Piero delivered his first speech at Juventus in a slightly nervous voice: "I have taken an important step in my career and I have the responsibility to contribute to the future success of Juventus. I believe I can do it. "
● Set foot in Grade A for the first time.
In Italian football, although Juventus is a strong team with a long history, the early 1990s was the golden age of AC Milan. Even though Juventus had three top Italian strikers, namely, R. Baggio, F. Ravanelli and G. Vieri, it was still difficult to compete with AC Milan led by Basten, R. Gullit and F. Rijkaard. It was for this reason that Juventus gave young Del Piero an early chance to enter the big stage. At that time, Juventus fans were extremely impatient with the team's continued sluggish performance, and the voice for changing the main players in the team was even louder. ...
Different from ordinary young players, Del Piero did not deliberately put on airs in front of the coach during pre-season practice. With his excellent skills and serious attitude, he made teaching assistants and teammates focus on him. His training attitude of talking less and doing more won the positive evaluation and trust of head coach G. trapattoni.
1 September, 993 12, Del Piero made his debut in a first-class league at the age of 18 years 10 months and 3 days (at that time, Juventus played Genoa with a score of1). Although his appearance did not bring victory to the team, it did not bring victory at all. A week later, Juventus played against weak Reggiana at home. In the 80th minute of the second half, Del Piero took the place of Ravanelli. At this time, Juventus had a 3-0 lead over the opponent and was a shoo-in. Although it was an uncompetitive game, it was of great significance to Piero himself, because he changed the score to 4-0 one minute after playing, and this goal was the first goal of Piero's career as a first-class player.
It is not easy to score goals in the first division. There are many rookies who are on cloud nine and don't want to sit on the bench. However, Del Piero is an exception. He told the media: "I am not qualified to be elected. I still have a lot to learn at Juventus. " Although Del Piero's words reveal his modesty, whenever he is sent to play, he will show his extraordinary football skills without reservation. 1March 20th, 994 is the day when Del Piero became famous in Italy. Juventus play Parma at home. In this life-and-death battle, Juventus scored four goals, three of which were scored by Del Piero in the 20th, 57th and 87th minutes respectively. This overwhelming result, in addition to sweeping away the unhappiness accumulated in the hearts of Juventus fans for many years, almost crazy fans warmly celebrated that the team finally gave birth to a great hero who can make history. After the game, Del Piero only responded to the reporter's question in a short sentence: "I never thought it would develop so smoothly in the first-class competition!" In Piero's solo exhibition, roberto baggio just sat on the bench and watched the game. It was about that time that he was ready to leave Juventus. When asked by a reporter about the performance of Baggio, who may be the biggest opponent in his life, Baggio replied: "We have noticed his agility in practice, and his shooting feel is really keen. In this game against Parma, everyone has clearly seen the football talent of this genius. Del Piero's future is indeed limitless. "
Although the appearance of Del Piero poses an unprecedented threat to Baggio's position in Juventus, he is not hostile to this young man. On the contrary, he is constantly mentioned in practice, so that he can quickly integrate into the team. Because Piero and Baggio are both taciturn people, they seldom have the opportunity to see them talk. Because of this, their relationship was described by some irresponsible media as irreconcilable, hostile and so on, which brought them great trouble.
The birth of the golden boy, the third story of Del Piero
A wonderful goal that shocked the whole country not only fascinated the fans, but also made Gendre Piero become the soul of Juventus prematurely.
● The real skill of genius.
Although Alessandro Del Piero played a first-class match in Italy in September, 1993, it was the 1994- 1995 season that really started Piero's first-class career.
G. trapattoni, who led Juventus for many years, had to step down and be replaced by M. Lippi, a famous Italian football player, because Juventus has been under the control of AC Milan in domestic leagues since 1990s.
Del Piero's football talent has been highly praised in many aspects, but the Juventus striker at that time already had first-class strikers such as Baggio, F Ravanelli and G Vieri. No matter how good the skills of young players are, don't expect to occupy the main seat in the array. Therefore, many ball critics believe that young players with potential like Del Piero should be loaned to other teams as "loan generals" to let them learn some necessary practical experience. In fact, Del Piero was almost loaned to a "midstream" team like Parma. If the conditions attached by Parma were not too harsh at that time, the loan of Del Piero would definitely become a reality.
Although Juventus executives had noticed Del Piero's rare football talent at that time, due to the lack of actual combat experience and limited playing opportunities, the relevant parties had to hope to use the most commonly used method-"borrowing" to solve Piero's football problem.
1On March 20th, 994, during World War I, Piero broke through the gate of Palma three times, and the top management of Palma is still vivid. I didn't expect the other party to lend this "star of tomorrow" to myself. Parma is certainly very excited about Juventus' "big gift", but unfortunately, Parma's high-level requirements pushed the representatives of both sides to break up in discord at the meeting. At that time, Palma executives promised to arrange for Piero to play in the first division as much as possible, but the proviso was that if Piero moved to another team, Palma could have the same decision-making power as Juventus (that is, the joint venture company owned players), and Palma could also get a 50% transfer fee for Piero. As a result, the loan player was changed from Del Piero to D Dino D Baggio, and finally became a formal player of Parma.
● A wonderful goal that shocked the whole country
1994 65438+On February 4th, Juventus played against Florence at home. Due to injury, roberto baggio's performance, which was famous all over the country at that time, was greatly reduced. Juventus trailed 2-0, coach Lippi finally made a transfer, and gendry Piero replaced roberto baggio to reverse the disadvantage. This transfer not only produced dramatic results in this game, but also was the shaky beginning of roberto baggio's career at Juventus.
Florence, which has just been promoted from Class B to Class A, in order to make fans forget the unpleasantness of the past two seasons as soon as possible, the team is United as one, and every battle is to compete with opponents with aggressive tactics and high morale. With only 17 minutes left in the game against Juventus, Florence still leads the opponent by two goals. Just when they thought they could win, the dream of victory was broken by Del Piero, who came off the bench. With the enthusiastic support of Juventus fans, the Bianconeri finally scored two goals in just 17 minutes, crushing Florence's dream of losing a strong team to save its prestige. And one of the goals Del Piero tried to get back, and the wonderful process shocked Italy.
Although Del Piero came off the bench in this campaign, his keen sense of shooting like a falcon has fascinated countless fans. His wonderful volley shot, combining angle and strength, became the headlines of many media the next day. At the same time, Gendre Piero's position in Italian football jumped to a higher level.
"Genius Goal", "Once in a Hundred Years" and "The Best Shot in History" ... these are the words used by the media to describe Del Piero's volley goal. Even the best-selling sports newspaper in Italy reported the whole goal process with a full-page front page, which was unprecedented in shock.
Right and wrong has always been one of the characteristics of Italian football. There are admirers, and of course there will be opponents-
"This is really a wonderful goal. But I don't think giving him 100 chance may be able to kick in! " (Mr. Signori)
"I hope to see this goal again in my lifetime, but I believe this wish will be difficult to achieve." (Ballano baiano)
"If he really has this kind of marksmanship, then he is either a superman or a monster." (savicevic savicevic)
Although words seem to be praise on the surface, they are full of jealousy and doubt in essence.
Fortunately, most coaches gave positive comments on this goal-
A. Sacchi: "This is an unprecedented wonderful goal."
Simone: "That's the most wonderful goal I've seen since I joined the football circle."
Z zeman: "I don't know what words to use to describe this wonderful goal!" " "
D. Zoff: "This wonderful goal is enough to make Italian football by going up one flight of stairs in international football."
Obviously, in the eyes of the team leadership, Piero's talent has been unanimously recognized. Del Piero, who has never responded to this goal, finally talked about his inner feelings under repeated questioning by the media. "I watched this goal repeatedly in the video. Such a wonderful goal was kicked by my own feet. It feels really wonderful. This is probably the best goal of my career! (Laughter) "
● The relationship between Golden Boy and Golden Boy
With a wonderful goal, Del Piero became a high-profile superstar. His position in Juventus has been expanding, and some media even regard the young Alessandro Del Piero as roberto baggio's biggest competitor.
Players wearing 10 jerseys are generally regarded as indispensable soul figures in the team, and this traditional concept also exists in Juventus. World-class star M Platini wore this 10 jersey when he played for Juventus. When asked by the media whether Del Piero was interested in wearing the Juventus uniform 10, he replied: "It has already made me feel heavy pressure to wear the Juventus uniform alone, and it is roberto baggio who wears the 10 uniform today. He has 10 years of actual combat experience in Italian football and is a rare football player. By contrast, I'm just a newcomer. For me, the most important thing now is to do my job well and try my best to contribute to the success of Juventus. I still have a lot to learn from my teammates, and roberto baggio is my best study object. "
Although Del Piero has no intention of taking Baggio's achievements as his own goal, he doesn't want others to compare him with Baggio. In the highly competitive football world, it is not easy to "kill two tigers in one mountain". Even if both competitors accept each other's existence with a tolerant attitude, unfortunately, such a happy thing cannot exist in the real world. ...
G Rivera, a World Cup international in 1970s, held a high position in Italian football. In an interview, he made profound remarks about the existence of roberto baggio and Piero: "Piero recorded the gold medal.
