  • 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.

      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

    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..

    @DidYaServe Місяць тому +99

    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.

    • @landochabod7
      @landochabod7 Місяць тому +1

      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.

      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.

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.
