Totti and Del Piero have not yet given its final class

Both are known as Il Capitano and his undoubted prestige and background in two of the strongest clubs in the Calcio. Two players who have marked an epoch in Italy with different values ​​than has historically been associated with Italian football. Speaking of Totti and Del Piero is talk about football at its best, goal, class, and magic in his boots. With 34 and 36 years is no doubt that both already left their best days with the ball, but is not synonymous still can not continue to provide teaching in a football field. The two most classy Italian players of the last fifteen years are still making the news: Totti has surpassed a legend like Roberto Baggio on the table top scorers in the history of Serie A, and Del Piero has just renewed his contract for another year with Juventus.

With two goals scored at Bari on the last day, Totti is the fifth top scorer in the Calcio with 206 goals, second only Altafini and Giuseppe Meazza, who has only ten points, in addition to the Swedish Nordahl, with 225 , and Silvio Piola unattainable, with 274. The list of ten top scorers is also Del Piero, who recently called with 184 goals to Batistuta. A few months ago, the Juventus and beat another record by surpassing Giampero Boniperti as league top scorer of Juventus. Now he has four to Signori, and six more are located Hamrin.

The merit of both is even greater considering that none of them, like Roberto Baggio, is a scorer to use. Not a traditional scoring, because the relationship with Totti and Del Piero's goal is extraordinary, and say no two scorers is not telling the truth. But despite this are players who stand out more for his refined technique and his vision with the ball at his feet, which are more comfortable playing behind a reference in attack. However, Totti has been, for the requirements of the script, capocannoniere Calcium as first player from Rome. However, with the arrival last year of Luca Toni and Borriello this season, Roman was able to take his usual place.

This season his numbers are not so bright as before, but no longer have a great value. Del Piero has alternated with Luigi Del Neri ownership and the bench, but in recent days has shared attack Matri offering good performance. In league has played 16 games and jumped head fourteen times off the bench, scoring a total of seven goals. His performances have been enough for the Bianconeri directors has decided to extend his contract another year. For its part, Totti is still, despite the doubts, the referent of the Roma and their top scorer, scoring fourteen goals in 31 games.

Scholes, Giggs, Raul, Van Nistelrooy, Seedorf, Inzaghi ... Both are part of a class in Europe to give his last kicks at the ball, but that remains an example of professionalism and good football. Totti is in a group of one club man, players who have developed their career in one club despite teams like Madrid or Chelsea wanted him at the time. For his part, Del Piero played his first two pro seasons in Padova. Although, as in the case of Raul, his name will always be linked to the club.

It is contradictory, on the other hand, two of the best players in recent decades have not even ever been in the top three classifications of the Golden Ball and the former FIFA World Player but can not be considered a surprise: both have played two clubs who have not experienced excessive joys in recent years. Del Piero is the only survivor of Lippi's Juve, Juve's last great, but then was very young and was in the shadow of players like Zidane. In the last decade, Juventus has experienced a period of instability that has led to scandals such as Moggigate live.

For its part, Totti has only won one Scudetto, two Coppa and two Super Cups with Roma in nineteen temporadscmomo debuted professionally at age sixteen, "and in Europe, Rome has always been a team of second row. Totti has always been faithful to the colors of the club, but that has prevented him shine more in competitions like the Champions League and hope to win more league titles. With the Azzurri themselves were, however, runners-up in Europe in 2000 or 2006 world champions, but in this case were Cannavaro and Buffon, not undeservedly, which took top honors. A selection, and Italian football to the end of the day, who will miss class players like Totti and Del Piero and in which we do not see who can collect the witness of his talent.

Today, Juventus and Roma are fighting with Udinese and Lazio for a place in the Champions League. One of the four will not have room even in Europe League. Juventino and Romans have Totti Del Piero and despite the doubts that always hover around them and their performance. At the end of the day, the biggest has always been doubted by the end of their careers for what they have offered a level playing field and the inability to be eternal, but Imperatore and Pinturicchio have even more of a goal dial.
