How a Midfielder with No Pace or Stamina Destroyed Everyone without Trying

- Andrea Pirlo is one of, if not the most respected midfielder from the 2000s and 2010s. He was able to dominate a sport that requires midfielders to run to contribute without trying at all, proving he was a monster at Ac Milan and then again at Juventus. He was able to win everything from the world cup, champions league, Serie a and was able to conquer the sport.
Nah cap bro Pirlo had insane stamina, actually one of the main attributes of his game
wrong
@@guiladepaulanot wrong unless you’re talking about Pirlo at 35… in his prime he had plenty of stamina was actually good at the defensive part of the game.
This what happens when video game fans make analysis videos
Very true, in his prime Pirlo can pull 2-3 full 90 min games per week, especially when his coach Carlo Ancelotti was not someone very flexible with starting lineups. What he lacks in strength he makes up for it with great positioning to gain advantage on the ball, so his defensive game was not too weak either
He was able to keep high levels of Stamina only necessary to his type of play. No wasted sprints or unnecessary physical contact.
When asked how did he learn to keep/ protect the ball for so long he replied: as a child player my teammates would never pass me the ball, so I had to take it from them. And once I got the ball my own teammates would tackle me, so I've learned to dribble everybody (both the opponent team and his own team players) in order to keep the ball and score. Some personality there..
Wow. I didn't know that.
Dude was the literal inspiration for blue lock
Pirlo had plenty of stamina but he liked to grow into the match instead of starting at 100% running effort. He wasn't especially slow either. Obviously, he didn't have massive pace but you can't play at his level without at least good acceleration and agility.
when gatusso covered him, 2-3x a game made defensive effort, like slides. breaking the tempo was his job, or maldini, you can't run faster than a ball. he was 12-14 out of 20 in football manager game before the dream team.
Pirlo had very little stamina, let's be honest.
He hardly ever broke through with a solo play, he hardly ever did tackles and slides, he gain backed very few possessions. He had players like Gattuso and Ambrosini (and later, at Juventus, Vidal or Marchisio) do that for him.
This became especially visible in the years 2007-2010, when he and Seedorf went from world-class players to almost liabilities for AC Milan, whose midfield was getting out-run and out-tackled by just about everyone. In order to win their next Scudetto, in 2011, they had to go the muscolar route: Flamini played more than Pirlo that season, the trequartista was K.P. Boateng and Van Bommel joined in late January, playing 14 league games.
Pirlo was pure IQ and skill player
Intelligent players like that is what get you titles. Every club needs one like that. Can't understand why they are not more valued in todays football. Xavi, Zidane, Pirlo, Laudrup, Modric, De Bruyne. Those are the players that get you trophys.
Because nowadays people want showboating and dramaa.
Nice Laudrup mention
Cattermole?
Modric and debryune are not at the level of Xavi pirlo Iniesta.
Modric below
Then kdb last
They are more valued, but they are also scarce, they didn't transfer between clubs that much hence they don't get hyped up in their market value as much as those media favourites. And of course once any club with ambition signed a big brain, only fools would allow them to leave.
Pirlo doesnt even try to be famous, but the world known him as the genius midfield
I am a hardcore Tevez fan, his 1st season with Juve he did some amazing things but the best thing he did that season (and one of his career), Tevez had most/more assists than the Maestro..
All true sports/football fans know this, sometimes you see an amazing play that brings tears to your eyes, Pirlo is the one who introduced me to that feeling..
That is why they call him "Maestro". He was an immense talent and one of the greatest of all time
No shit
he had stamina. And 99IQ is considered as normal
99 like a stat on a video game
99 out of 99 possible point
@@jereflechis4014 I thought he meant it Irl
People know how good Pirlo was,yet they still underrate him in comparison to other midfielders like xavi and iniesta
Anyone that thinks Xavi was better than Pirlo needs their head checked
Pirlo underrated by whom? He is still considered one of the best midfielders of all time! In recent years the word "underrated" has been abused!!!
@@gabrielesantucci6189 I am saying people underrate him in comparison to other midfielders like Xavi and Iniesta.
Pirlo is my favourite midfielder by far, just loved watching him play
Xavi + Iniesta are better than Pirlo, just sayin'
''Perla'' means pearl. What you meant is ''Pirla''. Just a small correction.
👍
Does not matter. Bashing Roy Hodgson goes above any reason when it comes to football noobs.
true about Coach, wrong about Andrea
I can agree with the “no pace” + no much physicality but no stamina? nah that’s just not right.
Honestly , not is correct No Stamina. If you see stats of a lot Milan's match you will see :
Total Km :
1) Prilo
2) Gattuso
Excellent storytelling. Thank you so much. Pirlo is an absolute legend
Saying that Pirlo had zero pace or stamina, and that he didn’t try is highly insulting. I guess low quality material needs these sort of headlines to attract viewership.
Love the Ac Milan player videos man! Pirlo and Maldini was the reason i fell in love With the sport and italian football
A man sees in the world what he carries in his heart.
There's someone says "If you put Pirlo, Berbatov and Zidane in the same team, the game would be pretty slow, but the possession would never go out to the fast team"
He also had great technique, free kick accuracy and decent long shots.
Pirlo is an absolute G.
No Stamina?
Jesus Christ as italian, what a BS.
And with BS I don't mean Brescia
Seriously he was one of the midfielders who ran the most in Serie A for many years, with 11-12 km average per game. Often the person who ran the most at AC Milan or with La Nazionale.
Pirlo not only a class footballer he also looks like a cool professor
The last part mentioned pirlo had hard feelings with milan is not true, he is still active taking part in Milan Legends exhibition games
Pirlo definitely had stamina. Midfielders will always have stamina.
Pirlo had enormous stamina. Either you're not European or you've never seen him play
He had really good stamina, just that he knew how to conserve that stamina very well and unleash it at the right time
The really unhappy person is the one who leaves undone what they can do, and starts doing what they don't understand; no wonder they come to grief.
I remember in the AC Milan days, Andrea Pirlo was always in the top 3 distance covered players in every match... that was clearly the ability of a player with high stamina.
Great vid! Pirlo is just a legend. The Architect.
Neither a lofty degree of intelligence nor imagination nor both together go to the making of genius. Love, love, love, that is the soul of genius.
Totally true. I hated him for that, certainly NOT a milanist at heart, but his ability was on the genius level. His inability to play with heart and irresponsibility in coverage made him a ok player.
"the Architect"....what a player!
I luv his dribbling and killer pass...the important aspects for midfielder.
99 IQ I'd useless without high technical ability, skill, and determintation. All of which Pirlo had in abundance
99 IQ AHAHAHAHA
99 IQ is below average...
Saying no stamina is rubbish,
He had stamina like others
1 of his quote “If he's free, tell him I will see him”
Hear me out
He is the best holding midfielder ever (dm)
No arguments whatsoever 😮
0% Stamina, are you f*king kidding me? That guy never tired of run for 120 minutes lol
no stamina?? that is soo untrue, I am a juve fan and he was impressive in every sense
The Maestro ❤ Shoule have mentioned how Pirlo was okay to even go to Real Madrid in 2009, but Milan asked him to stay put as he was a Milan legend and shoulent leave. The same management then pushed him out in 2011 citing financial reasons and contract policy.
That's why football is the best sport ever... Its not just about kick and run, but also need inteligence.. Creative football is the part of modern football...
Love the Taribo west shoutout
your presentation skills are impeccable, always a pleasure to watch!
Saying Pirlo has no stamina is like saying Inzaghi has no technic😂
Andrea Pirlo...the greatest ever !!!
Love these football documentaries in yt. Folks in the comments get hung up on some details and are lame
pirlo is quiet, not introvert. He is one of the funniest players ever
Not even the word about Pirlo magic free kicks.................
5:47 PIRLA. perla means pearl
The first deep playmaker on serie a
She was sad to hear that fireflies are facing extinction due to artificial light, habitat loss, and pesticides.
Bro, all of Pirlo's colleagues says Pirlo had amazing stamina. He wasn't a speedster that's why people think he lacked stamina, but he was always moving round the midfield, also Gattuso, legendary for his stamina, said Pirlo had more than him. Stop using Fifa and start watching the real games.
L'Inter degli anni '90: presidente e allenatori che non capivano una fava di calcio.
pirlo has a unbelievable ball control.. slow but he never lost the ball
5:43 Small correction from someone that lives near Milan: the word isn't "perla" but "pirla". If it's about the english pronunciation, I get why the "e" is there but the word itself is written with an "i".
I have to disagree on one thin. Just because he didn’t make explosive runs didn’t mean that he lacked stamina, the grounds he covered to put himself in a free position to receive the ball from his teammates required a lot of energy…
I've never seen Pirlo losing one ball
Good vid. But He is physically fit bro and thats what makes him dominating the central field. He is different in that he pushes the ball through the spaces he saw 10 minutes ago. That is why anyone sees him as he doesn't struggle or even coaches described him as weak player.
One of the players that made football look so easy to play.
Pirlo was an amasing midfilder, but not a smart man. Ac Milan will be there after 10 years his name no. Facts. He did that out of ego and moved to rubentini but forgot that Ac Milan made him a star when others throud him at the trash can. He didn't love the colors he loved the fact that it was loved so much from Ac Milan. Ac Milan had serious financial problems which ended the last 2 years when Maldini was the spot director. He betraied every one and when he was needed the most he went out for free. No one is more important than the team but you can be an important part of the team AC Milan.
That’s why Toni Kroos is the best midfielder ever ❤
lol. No he’s not
Great vid.
Pirlo behind the ball before a free kick equals a penalty kick.
14:12 what a dumb contract policy 😂
Imagine Pirlo, Zidane and Iniesta together.🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯
Pirlo very good player !
I prefer Busquets, Y. Touré, Rodri.
And last but not least, the best of all time at this position : Redondo !
Fun fact: Pirlo is the only player and athlete who have someone who’s younger than him as an idol
Leo Mothafuckin Mercy 👏
People forget,Pirlo's family is actually already crazy rich before football.
Fun Fact =
Andrea Pirlo is crazier than Mario Balotelli when it comes to pranking someone 😁😁🗿
NO STAMINA???!!!! ARE YOU KIDDING ME????!!! 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣Pirlo was Juve player who has run the most in the match during his time at Juventus. He's also good with defending. Check your fact again.
I am Luky I was a witness of that.
Hodgson called him "Pirla" which in Milanese means Dickhead, Perla as you wrote it actually means Pearl
No stamina 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 Dude, please....
italy was too small of a stage?? in those years Italy was the centre of football and the Italian league was the most important in the world. also pirlo's phis/stamina wasn't as bad as you say, it may not be his strength like pass/iq but the did not have the phis of a doorhandles, he wasn't that slow and his stamina was on the level of Messi.
You mean no physical not stamina. Thats why he had Gattusso on support in dirty works
He actually had stamina. But I get it, he is not physically imposing, similar Busquets. Maybe also his “lazy” style of play gave that impression
His position demands stamina by default. You gas out quicker when running with the ball.
His face is like a mash up between John Malkovich and Ezra Miller
He can he make those passes without having stamina. He is gonna look up spot a pass and try make the pass, without some stamina then it would be a flop of a pass.
No stamina and strengh ? Do you even know what are you on about?
Pirlo wasn’t fast, but according to statiscs he often was the player who runs more kilometers during the matches
5:52 "Pirla" not "Perla"....
99 IQ is not THAT High anyway
Lol💀
He just meant in fifa stat numbers😅
@@siberianTiger639 yeah ik
@@siberianTiger639 99 would be high for FIFA fans.
@@Mal_Freeman0451 it is the highest possible rating you can get there
@@siberianTiger639 You misinterpreted.
He had stamina
Just wasn’t the fastest
No stamina? Introvert? Dude you know nothing 😂
the word it's not perla (pearl) but "pirla"
This is what some silly United fans think Bruno is
How did he run if he had no strength?
Milan n italy only use 1 pirlo as director of midfield other than barca n spain use xavi+iniesta.
Look, I know yotubers search for hyperbole titles to attrack viewers, but to say Pirlo had "no stamina" it's just plain ignorant.
Bro chill
perla means something else . are you high?
Love from italy but is pirla not perla bro
For the kids watching this.
This guy was pure class, he made De Bruyne's passing, look average.
You've got a serious case of 'rose tinted glasses' my friend. De Bruyne is every bit as good as Pirlo was. Nostalgia is a hell of a drug, and you're off your face on it. People will look back in 20 years, much like you, with their rose glasses, and talk about De Bruyne like you're talking now about Pirlo.
No nostalgia, Pirlo's passing was out of this world. Beckham's passing was better than De Bruyne's too, thing is, De Bruyne has other skills that put him on a similar level ability-wise.
My friend, you should stop trying to put words in my mouth. 😉
Also, the standard of today's football has declined in many ways btw...
What's with the thumbnail picture? That's not Pirlo. 🤣
Dog k9.🐐🏆👏👏😁😎
It's PIRLA not Perla
Quick correction, bro seemed very calm on the peach, reality is that in his private life he was making the worst crazy pranks to his teammates
Jealous parents...that is just pathetic....been there done that
Prolo?? Who’s Prolo?
By the way is writed pirla
