A childhood as he himself tells, always spent with the ball at his feet. Enough to force his mother to take him to the San Vendemiano football school when he was 8. There he began his first steps into the world of the sport that would become his profession. At the age of 13 Alessandro Del Piero is called to play for Padova and leaves his family to follow his dream. The dream begins to come true when he enters Serie B in 1992 to immediately join the Juventus Primavera and make his debut in Serie A in 1993. An episode that makes him particularly proud is having learned that since as a teenager, at the age of 14, Juventus had already spotted him.

They start like this for Del Piero the years of his first goals and his first successes: up to the injury that led him to the longest stop of his career, that of November 1998. Then he broke his left knee and was forced to resume playing in August of the following year. But as he himself says, in terms of goals and success, the post-injury can be said to be even more fruitful! The season with the most goals with Juventus was that of 2007/2008, where he scored 24 goals between the Italian Cup and Seria A. He was the captain of the black-white team for eleven years (from 2001 to 2012); he has won the Scudetto seven times, although two have been revoked due to the Calciopoli scandal.
