comments: Definitely one of the best strikers in Italy, and arguably one of the best in the world. Just look at what he has accomplished with his team Juventus over the past few years: Since 1994 they have won the National Championship Title (Italian League) three times, the Toyota Cup once, the Italian Cup once, the Italian Super Cup twice, the Champions' League once and the European Super Cup once. Alessandro started his way when he was young, playing for Padova, and in 1993 he moved to Juventus. Alessandro was supposed to play a big part in Italy's campaign to perhaps win the World Cup, but the pressure might have been to hard, as he didn't perform anywhere NEAR what he is fully capable off. Unfortunately, neither did the rest of the team, and Italy were ousted by France on penallties. But a new season in the Italian Serie A is here and Alessandro will no doubt be a big part of Juventus' efforts for the title.
