I was 10 when I saw my first Juventus match. I was sitting in the sofa with my Italian grand-father, he naturally tuned in for the 1993 UEFA Cup final first leg between Borussia and Juve which was broadcasted on I don't remember which French channel and Roberto Baggio made a huge impression on me, scoring twice including a marvelous free-kick. What a player! I was blown away. I liked other players as well, Andy Möller whom I'd seen in Panini albums and Dino Baggio whom I mistakenly thought was Roby's bro. Unfortunately, I didn't have any TV access to Serie A so I would not see him in action until his heroics at the 1994 WC. Despite the dramatic penalty miss, I was hooked.
Still no access to Italian footy though. More concerned about Anderlecht and Belgian footie, really. Moreover in 94-95, Litmanen, Finidi George and co really displayed what football is all about. You couldn't help liking Van Gaal's team. I saw Kluivert stretching past Rossi but I don't remember seeing Juventus loosing to Parma in the UEFA Cup final.
95-96, Juventus is again broadcasted on Belgian television. I like the ugly black and white stripes, the Sony logo, the way they play. I strain my ears to hear what the commentator has to say about lanky Torricelli and his marathon-man runs, Angelo 'Soldato' Di Livio, why Peruzzi looks like a rugbyman, what age is White Feather, who's that crazy bald dude doing bicycle kicks at every chance. And then, I see a certain young talent named Del Piero scoring all sorts of incredible goals, lob ala Del Piero on Klos, a nicely curved free-kick against Rangers from an impossible angle, more or less the same goal from open play against Stelea... I asked my parents a Del Piero jersey for X-Mas but they could only find a regular Juve jersey with no name on... From then on, thanks to their brilliant European campaigns and the great players that joined, my interest grew bigger and bigger. Today, I know almost everything there's to know about this club and (have) watch(ed) everything I can (could), including most every Serie A game.
God bless Internet and streaming!
