ADP, the Goals, and the Blogger are BACK!! (Juventus 4-1 Bologna)

By: Marco P. | Comments 7 Comments

Don’t you just love great come-backs?
And by that of course, I mean Alessandro Del Piero’s return to scoring after nearly two months of drought. Our hero had not scored since Juve’s 3-0 victory over Catania on January 14th, and while we desperately awaited his crucially-needed goals in the UEFA Champions League (ok, no need [...]

Mister 250, The Legend Continues

2008-09, Stadio Olimpico di Torino
November 29, 2008
Juventus 4-0 Reggina
Here we are. 250 goals.
I’ll never get used to these numbers. Every record is a new emotion. Always. Just like every single goal that you score. Achieving that target isn’t what excites me the most (because even though it’s important, I consider it to just be [...]

The Free-Kick nº1 Specialist

By: Marco P. | Comments 18 Comments

.
Of course, everyone here knows it :] , but it’s nice to see others recognize it as well.
In the latest Goal.com POLL (International Best Free-Kick Taker), ADP bested heavy hitters such as Nakamura, Juninho Pernambucano, and Cristiano Ronaldo. His recent free-kick taking excellence might have something to do with it of course, but it’s [...]

From Goals to Assists…

Leading his troops into battle…

I just love this man. When he’s not scoring them, he’s dishing out passes for them.
ADP might have been a bit unlucky on Thursday, when Juventus played Genoa in an early match for Serie A’s Matchday 12: he had some good shots on target, but they were either saved or [...]

Time for Some Free-Kick Magic

By: Marco P. | Comments 10 Comments

There are three primary techniques used with direct free kicks. First, the player taking the direct free kick may blast the ball as hard as he can, usually with the laces of the boot.

Born of Gino and Bruna Del Piero, three decades later this wonderful footballing genius is still running on the fields of Serie A and of [...]

Standing Ovation in Madrid

By: Marco P. | Comments 8 Comments

Through decades of football history, very few people have managed to get the chance to play at a mythical stadium like Santiago Bernabéu. Fewer people have even managed to score at Santiago Bernabéu.

Still surfing the wave of their success vs. Los Merengues, Juventus & Alessandro Del Piero can enjoy a few days of happiness before diving into the hard-footy action again. This week-end’s Turin derby promises to be electrifying, but in the meantime I’ve dug up all the things ADP had to say about Wednesday night’s wondergoal.

ADPB Returns on A Night of European Magic…

By: Marco P. | Comments 3 Comments

Hello everyone! After an absence of over two months, the Alessandro Del Piero blog on The Offside returns!
My posting frequency has been terrible at best lately, and that’s inexcusable. I have just been so busy with mCalcio and coordinating my university Intramurals that I’ve never found the time to write a proper post here.
All that [...]

Just dropping by to say hello! I’m still on European vacation technically, and expect to be back to full active duty by the end of the month. However, yesterday something happened that was so grandiose that I just had to post something about it.
