But Del Piero hailed his technical ability, claiming that he is uniquely brilliant to watch and has 'enormous quality'.


"He's got enormous technical quality and he's made an impression with his personality first at Palermo and now at Juve," Del Piero told La Gazzetta dello Sport, viaFour Four Two.


"His way of being, of imagining football, enable him to make the difference. He's already at a really high level and he can get even better.


"He's different to other Juventus number 10s because he's left-footed, and that is what makes him stand out.


"He's got a unique way of expressing himself. It's beautiful watching him play, but let's not make any comparisons [to Del Piero]."
