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.
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
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.
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
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...
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.
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
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.
@@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
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
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.
I dont know anything about soccer or half the stuff that they talking about but RUclips has convinced me that this Show rivals Inside The NBA on TNT... like their dynamic is watchable even without watching the sport...
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..
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..
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..
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.
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. 🤷🏻♂️✌️
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 slap was like "hey im pushing you infront of your crush bro"
😂😂
😂😂
😂 wing manned him.
@@jovna5315ahahhahahaha
Vahahahahahahhahahahaha damn bro killed my life with this one
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 🤝
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
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
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 is class on and off the field! This is football heritage

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.

Del Piero is just pure class! Elegant footballer, still has flawless technique even now at 49 yrs of age!
Del peiro is a cult hero. Wat a striker
Del Piero with the tailored Italien suit 💪
Del Piero was so elegant.

Best player in Juventus history is Platini
@@davidjohn6323 yes mate, Del Piero was a great player, on and off the pitch, i'm not a Juventus fans, but i always Admire 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.
love how thierry has to smile cause he knows a compliment from del piero
It doesn‘t get any better than that!!
I love the slow intergration of Del Pierro into the show, he's such a G in every sense of the word!
Del Piero being modest as if he wasn't an absolute footballing great
Hey guys make Alessandro a permanent member along with these 4 he is such a genius and blends well in terms of humour
I am a fan AC Milan from 2004, i was very scared Del Piero in that time,he was amazing 😊.He is modest
Del piero probably one of the most under strikers of all time mans being humble here he was demon don't doubt it
Del Piero giving TT the assist of the year
Del piero is top notch with this crew, and he is a legend also what a player
Humble del Piero
Del piero is being modest here. Hes at the same level of Henry.
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...
Same level ? Henry was on the bench most weeks Because of del piero
@@chucky7826del Piero was the whole time injured, whilst Henry was there
Both peaked at different Times. Del Piero in the mid/late 90s. Henry in the 2000s
@@chucky7826 Henry is younger than del Piero and wasn't in his prime as yet though . Prime del Piero is not better than prime Henry
You can see they are like and respect each other.
Del Piero just class in every way
Henry holding in his laughter always makes me laugh
My favourite Italian player. What a legend del piero is.
Grande capitano della juve grande grande pinturicchio numero 1 per sempre nei cuori della juve e dellitalia grande semplicemente del piero ❤
Tutti questi calciatori, Del Piero, Henry...i 90 ei primi due mila, le due decade più belle del calcio in assoluto
Del piero was like messi to me in late 90s ..
Bro that’s Del Piero complimenting you like that!! That’s mad!
They remind me Winning eleven ❤
legend to legend
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
2 legends of the game right there.
Two different players but still 2 legends of the game, so much class

Del Piero was my Teenage Hero when playing for Juve. I used to play the 10 and alessandro was the real Deal back then
Vintage del Piero made me love football
Just love the respect these veteran players show to each other. its amazing❤
Del pierdo was a beast too
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
If Henry had Del Piero shooting ability he would have been up there with the GOATS
Henry was literally unstoppable TH14 ❤
Except in cup finals and most champions league games

2 of my 5 fav players of all time . Del piero, Henry, Roberto Carlos, Ronaldinho and Cristiabo Ronaldo.
del piero went down with the ship at juve, that is loyalty, he could of gone to any of the big teams, henry would never of done that
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.

Love this guy
Del Piero is the Reason I Love Football. I’ll never forget the first Jersey my brother bought me. I was 7 and it was a Del Piero Sony Sponsor Jersey
He’s a legend but so humble he gets embarrassed most of the time when people praise him
Titi Henry, The Best Player Of World At That Time ( 2003)
Even as a United fan, I truly enjoyed the battles with these legends. It was pure joy watching magic on the pitch. It once was a truly beautiful game.
2 greats of the game.
Del piero was the guy I'd always sign on the ps1 fifa's mainly because how cool his name was 😂
That blue tie Del Piero is wearing is 🔥
The full outfit is heat !
