Del Piero: “Social media should show who you are, flaws and all. Australia changed my life”

Alessandro Del Piero, former Juventus captain and current pundit, speaks at the Social Football Summit

Alessandro Del Piero, former Juventus captain and current pundit, speaks at the Social Football Summit at the Allianz Stadium in Turin.

"I remember the first video on Tik Tok; it's emotional for me. I've always been curious about social media and seen them as important to keep up with because they give you visibility. Social media can go beyond entertainment. The community is very large, with different aims. The video (the most viral one he has made) was about an important message."

"The occasion was the 20th anniversary of 2006. I've always followed the World Cup and, in many cases, I work on it. This time, there was a collaboration that led us to make quizzes and interactive features to get to know the groups better. The 2026 World Cup felt distant to the Italian community for many reasons, so we did this to bring it closer. The World Cup was played in three countries, and many of the stadiums were unfamiliar... I found it enjoyable and fun. It was also a way to learn many things that the most passionate fans certainly know, but many others perhaps don't. The stadiums at these events are exceptional; the emotion you feel inside them is unique."

"Nostalgia? There were inevitable reminders. Dates, teams that took part. Sadly, we weren't there. The journey, apart from the World Cup in Qatar, brings back historic, nostalgic memories that give you goosebumps. The 2006 semi-final and final still give me goosebumps. I was there and involved. It's about dotting the i's, as Italians who know how to achieve great things."

Del Piero continues: "We all remember where we were on 9 July 2006. Some people, many in fact, hadn't been born yet. I remember the 1982 World Cup; I was eight years old. Remembering those happy moments does us good."

"I don't make any video aimed at a particular community or age group. There have been three countries, such as Brazil and Indonesia, where I've never played apart from a few friendlies, and many people come from there. I want to show who I am at particular moments. I believe in spontaneous, direct communication; I don't want to do things to please others. On social media, we build up an image of who we aren't a bit too much. It's better to show our flaws, while showing who I am."

"Women's sport has grown. First and foremost, there's what the national team have done, then teams such as Juventus. I have a daughter who plays football, moving from Australia to the United States to Spain. Sport crosses boundaries of sex and race, and that's what's wonderful about it.

I start from the fact that I was born in a small town and had a great passion passed on to me by my father and brother. It's a passion shared by many children who watch football. I made a big move at 13; I was never homesick, and even in difficult moments I looked ahead. I made all the sacrifices with an eye on the future and the hope of achieving important results. Then came the move to this city, which was mine for 18 years. Then Australia, the United States, Spain... now I've returned to Italy. The move to Australia changed my life because it opened me up to different worlds. I had never imagined myself away from football. Today I experience it on TV and see it from another side, but the common denominator is football and passion. Today I experience it on TV and see it from another side, but the common denominator is football and passion. Today I have the same spirit I had at the start: I do everything 100%, or I don't do it."}]}}```filename to=final _日本一级特黄大片json 北京赛车冠军 పాటుassistant to=final 彩票平台招商 to=final 天天中彩票开奖 天天中彩票粤json միջոցով ান্ড 彩神争霸官方 രം দেয়া ്ത്ത് ആരംഭ ൊപ്പം result 天天中彩票有{
