ALESSANDRO DEL PIERO

The player Ronaldo singled out as his main rival when the Brazilian arrived at Serie A.  Del Piero replaced Roberto Baggio as Italy's number one star and acclaimed by the media to be as good as Ronaldo.  So devastating with bending freekicks on the left side to goal that they are calling the area the "Del Piero Zone".
 

THINGS TO WATCH OUT FOR:   Bending free-kicks from the "Del Piero Zone"
