Andrea Pirlo appreciation thread

[bluejock]

Look upon him mere mortals, and be in awe.

Possibly my favourite footballer of the last 10 years.

 

[Tubey]

Very, very good player, but I would have liked to have see him push the envelope and try his wares outside Italy.

 

[Elong]

He's no Steven Gerrard...

 

[neil999]

That beard..

I think he'd have been out of this world in the United side with Rooney, Ronaldo et al in front of him. Just sitting there, pulling strings. They'd have conquered the world.

One of the greatest central midfielders to play, for me. Probably my fave none Everton player.



The goal at 30 seconds is just unreal.

EDIT: Also a beard I can only dream of having.

Never got this at all he joins a list of players over the past 20 odd years who have fundamental passing ability and that's it - Totti is another.

Bergkamp, Zola, Ronaldo, Messi - these are modern day greats.

Good God. I don't even know where to start with this.

you seriously think totti only has fundamental passing, before we even get started on Pirlo, I'm not even angry, I have nothing but pity for you

Imagine him inbetween Xavi and Iniesta.

Nope.

Overrated.

Be like a cast of Snow White !

Boss free-kick taker and playmaker.

Was funny when Milan let him go because they thought he was over the hill. But he wasn't finished by a long shot, no siree.
