He tapped him because Titi was making play modest faces as Alex was talking about him. They are friends. "Italian tap", I'm Italian and I have no idea what that is.
Sir Alex always said he refereed to Lippi’s Juventus in the mid 90s as the benchmark when building his United side, and his United side would eventually go on to beat Carlo Ancelotti’s Juventus in the 1999 UCL semi finals and eventually conquer Europe.
He was the best from '94 until '98 when he got badly injured. From '98 to 2001 he was a Ghost of himself. From 2002 onwards He came back as Del Piero. He was not the same as before the injury but still he got tò very High level. His best years were '96 and '97 he was maybe the best player in the world.
I lived in Turin as a teenager for six months when Juventus were at their peak. Would regularly watch Juventus train. Del Piero was always the player who had most time for the fans despite being the "super star" of the team. Would ask everyone if they had an autograph, photo, etc, and wouldn't leave until everyone was happy.
Brilliant. Del Piero was the footballers name I was commentating on myself when I scored goals as a kid 😂 amazing player. Great account of your memory of him. Thank you
To be honest, we can't compare both legends and different positions... Delpeiro more like a playermaker/striker... Henry is a winger and sometimes false 9...
Best player in Juventus history praising the best player in Arsenal history . I feel sorry for everyone who dont know how legend of a player Alex Del Piero was , seeing him praise Henry is so special, him and Henry both shouldve been Balon Dor players , Alex got a standing ovation in Santhiago Bernabeu , and took Roberto Baggio spot in the starting line up that same year in Juventus to win the Champions League
Henry is my favorite striker of all time. I love how he's trying not to laugh and everything I've ever seen, he just seems like such a cool guy. Makes me appreciate him even more. Let's all be grateful for 90s futbol into early 2000s. Talent everywhere and legendary players.
He is Juventus, like Totti is AS Roma and Maldini AC Milan, he’s a club icon. Is predictable, would never leave the club and with one good year in Serie B you back in Serie A anyways.
@@SongofIceandTea well but he could have won so much more, like CL, trophies, records etc...he sacrificed his career and all his fame and glory to rebuild his club (it took 6 years to do so), he took Juve back to victory and then retired. Very heroic.
Del Piero is from that generation of Italians who have revolutionized football, champion of the Champions League and World Champion with Italy, Del Piero belongs to the Olympus of the Gods of football
@@leonsolace7 Ronaldo cry on 5 maggio 2002 was quite similar to City triumphant on 2012. Parma was a hit, Fiorentina with Batistuta, il Principe Totti led Roma for scudetto, Rui Costa and Materazzi look to the stand where all hell break loose for Derby della Madonnina in UCL knockout round, Maldini tamed the mad dog called Gatusso, the arrival of son of Sao Paolo Ricardo Kaka and the dawn of fallen emperor Adriano. And the Calciopoli as the finale of Serie A golden age
Love Alex! A great servant to Juventus and stayed even after their relegation and helped them get back. Can’t help but feel like he should have gone to Man Utd when they wanted him though.
Delpi being so humble. Being a legend in a club like Arsenal cannot be compared to being a legend in a club like Juventus. Prime Del Piero played 3 champions league finals in a row..
Juventus Attacker in 90's era was the most crazy, they have Ravanelli, Baggio, Del Piero, Vieri, Trezeguet, Vialli, Inzaghi, and Henry.. Serie A in 90's era was like gladiator arena for top tier Striker in the world, player like Ronaldo, Batistuta, Hernan Crespo, Marco van Basten, George Weah etc was fighting each other in Serie A..
When del piero finished his career at Sydney FC in Australia, he was always a class act and still so clinical in his old age. Always made time for the fans
Cant imagine both play together though.. Although Henry is (mostly) an ST and Del Piero is a classic trequaterista; both often strike from the left side..
I dont know anything about soccer or half the stuff that they talking about but TH-cam has convinced me that this Show rivals Inside The NBA on TNT... like their dynamic is watchable even without watching the sport...
That era when Thierry played and the Brazilians came onto the scene was just magical street football played on the grand stage. All the kids in the park, cages and streets were copying the fancy footwork and playing street style football, back when the game had flare.
As an Italian fan, watch Italy playing France, Titi was the only player that made he hold my breath when playing the ball. He could outrun all our most experienced defenders. Unstoppable.
Only someone who hasn't seen Del Piero play in the 90ies can claim he was inferior to Henry. Before his injury Del Piero was considered a little below R9 and superior to Zidane.
The disrespect towards Del Piero in some ignorant comments is truly unbelievable... Del Piero was a better player than Henry, a better dribbler, better technically, had more flair, a better shooter, better creativity and vision, you could put Del Piero at any position on the field and he'd still stand out and lead and control the game, his free kicks were also out of this world and many more things Henry is an absolute legend and maybe he's a bit more known around the football community because he played in many leagues and especially for his time at Barca and Arsenal and he had a thing or two in his game over Del Piero but overall... Del Piero was a WIZARD
@@roshanstepit I am not a fan of any player and i don't like having arguments and debates about them.... But sometimes when you have witnessed a certain players play and how effective and dominant they were...

Thierry Henry and Ronaldinho are by far my favorite living football legends, they are the reason I fell in love with football in the first place, they are part of my childhood... Henry should have won at least one or two ballon d'or in the 2003 and 2004 seasons, he was so unique and underrated back then, he was almost unstoppable and genuinely a very good all-rounder authentic player. ☯️✌️
word up! man that season he scored 25 goals and made 25 assists in premier league alone 😢, he won goal scorer and most assist player in same season, but he never won ballondor😭, in 2003 itself in fifa best player award he came second after zidane and 3rd was ronaldo nazario, well that season he was a better player and striker than nazario no doubt , as compared to zidane same season he had a better season than zidane! zindane didnt win any trophy ! madrid got booted by monaco in CL same season, didnt win spanish cup neither, and most importantly didnt win the league deportivo won it! i dont know what were the standards back then in choosing fifa best player award or ballon dor😂! seems to me its just random or who got much more fame in same season, as for 2004 it was henry season without any doubts with his numbers, the arsenal team same season didnt lose any game in the league! won the double league and cup, and still in ballon dor he lost it to ronaldinho 😢 who didnt win league because valencia won it for 6th time in their history when barca came second! barca didnt win any trophy and ronaldinho won an individual prestigious award😂! shame 😢
@@carltonjhons1278 Nedved won the ballon d'or in 2003 and Shevchenko won it in 2004, I think that Henry was overall the better player in both seasons than Nedved and Shevchenko, in my opinion. Ronaldinho won the ballon d'or in the 2005, not in 2004 bro. 🤷🏻♂️✌️
Henry was insanely fast and able to score goals from long distance juventus made a huge mistake by letting him go and Arsène wenger discovered his talent and brought him to Arsenal where he became the club legend and he knocked out juventus in the champions league quarter final 2005-2006
The slap was like "hey im pushing you infront of your crush bro"
😂😂
😂😂
😂 wing manned him.
@@jovna5315ahahhahahaha

Del Piero gave Henry' a little " Italiano" slap to the side. Observation to a higher register.
I loved that one hahaha
Thanks for clarifying didn’t really get it
Huh?
He tapped him because Titi was making play modest faces as Alex was talking about him. They are friends. "Italian tap", I'm Italian and I have no idea what that is.
@@SwordOfS right I was confused too lol
A Legend talking about a Legend 🤝
Del Piero is being modest here, he was an unstoppable player too
Yeah but that injury really sucked. You can see how better he was
What are his glasses man? They don’t make him look like a top class footballer. He should change them.
@@ERFARINGyoutubehe should change his glasses because you don't like them ?
@@SwordOfS Yes
@@ERFARINGyoutube arrogant
I am an Inter supporter but Del Piero is always so charming, it's a pleasure to see him at the desk with the gang.
@@mattceccotti well said, nice to see respect here, I am a Juve supporter, but Zanetti is also a legend that was always playing clean
imagine.. late 90s Juventus... Zidane, Del piero, Henry, Trezeguet or Vieri or Inzaghi...
Lippi at the helm...
no injuries... just magic...
But titi played out of position there, we dont know what will happen if he stay at juve
Henry was Juves back up left wing back in the late 90s.
Add nedved
They screwed Henry over with that system. Don’t think Lippi was there at the time.
Sir Alex always said he refereed to Lippi’s Juventus in the mid 90s as the benchmark when building his United side, and his United side would eventually go on to beat Carlo Ancelotti’s Juventus in the 1999 UCL semi finals and eventually conquer Europe.
Del Piero was also unstoppable. Around 2000 maybe the best player in the world
Agree!
He was the best from '94 until '98 when he got badly injured.

You can see they are like and respect each other.
Humble del Piero
Del Piero was the man back in Football Italia on channel 4. Those were the days my friends. Saturday morning with james Richardson.
I am a fan AC Milan from 2004, i was very scared Del Piero in that time,he was amazing 😊.He is modest
Hey guys make Alessandro a permanent member along with these 4 he is such a genius and blends well in terms of humour
legend to legend
Del piero probably one of the most under strikers of all time mans being humble here he was demon don't doubt it
I love the slow intergration of Del Pierro into the show, he's such a G in every sense of the word!
They remind me Winning eleven ❤
Del Piero being modest as if he wasn't an absolute footballing great
Del piero is top notch with this crew, and he is a legend also what a player
Del Piero giving TT the assist of the year
Grande capitano della juve grande grande pinturicchio numero 1 per sempre nei cuori della juve e dellitalia grande semplicemente del piero ❤
Del piero was like messi to me in late 90s ..
Del Piero just class in every way
Henry holding in his laughter always makes me laugh
Late 90s and early 2000s Juventus was massive . So many legends packed in a single team .
By the way, I’m impressed by Del Piero’s English skills
Because last carier in Australia so English must good
Tutti questi calciatori, Del Piero, Henry...i 90 ei primi due mila, le due decade più belle del calcio in assoluto
