Motivation Quote by Alessandro Del Piero

Del Piero makes “luck” do a lot of work here, and that’s the tell. He’s talking about fame as something that happens to you, not something you seize, a framing that instantly softens the ego that celebrity demands. For an athlete whose career played out under relentless Italian media scrutiny, “handle” is the operative verb: fame isn’t enjoyed, it’s managed, like pressure, expectations, even temptation. The line carries the quiet defensiveness of someone who knows that public affection can flip into moral policing overnight.

The real subject, though, is parents. By crediting his upbringing, Del Piero shifts the conversation from individual exceptionalism to a kind of inherited discipline. It’s a humblebrag with ballast: he implies he’s been trained for this, not just gifted at football. That “right manner” is deliberately vague, but culturally loaded. In Italian sporting life - especially at a club like Juventus, where style, restraint, and institutional image are part of the brand - the “right” way means avoiding scandal, respecting the shirt, speaking carefully, keeping private life private.

Subtextually, it’s also a preemptive contract with the public: judge me not by the spotlight around me, but by how I behave inside it. The sentence works because it’s self-aware without being confessional; it offers reassurance, not intimacy. Fame becomes another test of character, and Del Piero positions himself as the kind of star who passes by staying boring on purpose.
