Alexander Pirlo appears to have incredible handling speed, passing accuracy and vision. Every time he receives the ball, no matter how little time and space he has, he seems to know where every teammate on the pitch is, and quickly passes it to the player in the best position, with quickly executed long and short passes. There is so little time for the opposition to close him down.

Pirlo constantly, successfully deploys killer passes. They are passes that break one or two lines and take a number of opposition players out of the game. I only saw him mishit one pass. I haven't seen a player as good in this facet of the game as he is.

However, I cannot remember seeing Pirlo win any hard balls, or even making intercepts. He probably misses his old mate for Italy, Gennaro Gattuso, one of the best ball winners and hard men of all time.

Pirlo overated? guy is a freak , i remember reading something in world soccer saying Pirlo is one paced,one legged, cant defend etc etc but you'll will find a place for him in your team . One of the best deep lying playmakers ever

And I still :lol: at Allegri for stating that Pirlo didn't fit into his plans/system at AC Milan and let his contract expire.
Juve signed Pirlo on a free.

nekminnit Juve win 3 titles in a row :cool: #-o :lol:

:lol: Thanks Allegri. Best signing ever.

I kinda know why ac Milan got rid of some of their older players , but letting Andrea pirlo go was the biggest fuck ups ever . You can see it at Juve and with the National team he makes them tick .
