Andrea Pirlo Thread

[Wild]

wait... i thought our entire youth team was 'for sure better than pirlo'

And I thought Pirlo is world class even if he was never the best Milan midfielder & Milan isnt a big club no more & for sure doesnt contain a world class midfield

 

[GreatKalu]

i really want NOTHING to do with being in the middle of you two (h or n/h) but....

dru, you're kind of proving his point... you pointed all the area's that milan is deficient in and why we shouldnt be playing the formation we are and yet we did all season and it was to accommodate dinho... not hating on dinho but that formation was nowhere near ideal for us even with pato... and yet we continued it without him and got to see some of the most bizarre choices for right wing and not to mention playing 2 man midfield of pirlo and ambro or whoever but still 2 mids and 4 attackers which caused us to get completely steam rolled more than once...

Thank you. Nicely said ...

Im not talking about the CL now am i? I will agree with seedorf tho, and apart from the goal against madrid pirlo contributed fuck all.

So Milan is a Serie A team now? UCL never a priority ... good to see what standards you've set for Milan

And if you think Pirlo was only about the goal against Madrid, you couldn't be more wrong. I won't go into detail as it clearly won't get past the reflection of your Dinho posters glaring off your monitor ... or wallpaper perhaps?

like I said, they are one of the best african teams but not the best IMO, let me put it this way, Egypt for me are like Italy after 2006, sure both of them were eventual champions, but both of em never convinced me that they are the best(apart from caf2008, the other 2 egypt had shit loads of luck like italy during 2006), anyways lets not go off topic because its entirely irrelevant.

It is ... but I'm just trying to point at the history between the two of us. Again, what you perceive to be real may not actually be the case for ... hmmm ... let me see; most African football fans, experts and analysts, the official administrative controlling body of African football ... CAF ... and FIFA.

No ... I'd rather take their opinion on a subject than yours thank you. Not that I do out of necessity ... but from what I've seen, on the pitch, Egypt deserves each and every bit of praise they can get for their achievement. Its such a pity then that the Pharaohs of Africa won't be in RSA ...

I just said dont let 1 city having a recession hurt an entire "kingdom"(which i meant was u.a.e, yes i know abu dhabi have more money than dubai)

You mean after I, together with the help of Kyara, educated you on the matter? You never said thanks, but you're welcome little one

Pato? thats the manager's responsibilty, Ronaldinho offers much more than pirlo, so why not eliminate pirlo and but a new CM alongside one of the dms and play a 4-2-3-1 and keep pato as a SS behind the target man, I dont think changing ronaldinho's position or kicking pirlo out is the solution, its just a need of new tactics and solutions(new players).

So ... you want us to play something like:

---------------- Bori
-- Dinho ------- Pato ------- ??
------ new CM ------- Ambro/Flams
?

Still imbalanced, if you ask me. Unless if the right winger we bring in is a hard worker and contributes to both attack and defense. The new CM who would replace Pirlo would have to be a footballing god of sorts, as he would need to link up play between attack and defense + make runs for Dinho to pass to + cover for Dinho and the LB when they are caught out of position - which should be an often occurrence.

In addition, we would still need to make the more essential changes that our squad needs: fullbacks, cover for Nesta, a keeper, maybe a CF of more quality. Obviously, a lot of work.

Now ... I'm not for the idea of Dinho being sold this summer. I've been clear about it before ... we need to address the above mentioned areas first before thinking of changing him. He's settled in and has proved he can win us games. No doubting that. But compare your proposed lineup to something like:

----------- Bori -------- Pato
----------------- Dinho
--- Ambro -------- Pirlo ------- Flamini

More balanced, especially if we can bring in quality wingbacks: In case I should reiterate, quality wingbacks = those that can DEFEND as well as ATTACK ... not some Alves midgets.

Now, of course improvements off the bat are Bori for someone of more quality ... maybe a new LCM for Ambro/Clarence, who could even compete with Pirlo; And alternatives to Dinho in case he can't cope with the trequartista role. Doesn't need to be a trequartista per se ... could even be a more orthodox winger (preferably for the right), and we could lineup with a conventional 4-4-2, with Pato coming in from the left.

The whole idea is to change the focus of the team towards Pato. And if we were to bring in a worthy partner for him ... I dunno ... someone like Dzeko, the two of the together would be a handful for any defense as long they coordinate well together.

Never asked you to subject to my opinion, you bought that shit up and i simply replied.

Im really biased towards dubai, i was bound to hate on abu dhabi

I'd rather go with the 4-2-3-1, someone like hernanes alongside ambrosini/flamini would be perfect, dinho pato and a RW and we can count on borri, no need for dzeko, Id rather have them spend the money on a GK and fullbacks, I think thats pretty balanced as long as you have fullbacks that can defend and are pretty limited since there are wingers.

a center midfield of flamini pirlo ambro and dinho ahead of them? no thank you, the 4-3-1-2 can only work if we have the right players for it, unfortunately a past it pirlo and 33 year old ambrosini wouldnt make the midfield work like the way we were used to it under carlo(but then again that was mainly due to gattuso kaka and seedorf)

now if you tell me something like

Flamini Aquilani Hernanes

Ronaldinho

Now we're talking/dreaming.

 

[GreatKalu]

Dinho is a bigger reason than Clarence+Pirlo+Pippo*10--- that we r in next years CL .. So that's a more sizable revenue right there . And sitting home and watchin CL is not goin to be a good effect on our pedigree too..

Maybe its a sizable revenue, but I want us to win the damn thing instead of just qualifying

Dinho not showing up in the UCL games bar home against Madrid + home against United isn't at all confidence inspiring. He has to pull up his socks here as the big players with the big pay checks are paid exactly that for the big stages

*PAUSE*

GRAZIE ANDREA for being who you are

Guys I'm amazed that you don't see that mad is trying to wind you up. There's really no comparison between Pirlo and Ron. Even he knows that Pirlo did nothing close to Ron. Relax Ron improved in almost every aspect of his game. His speed went up, he started tracking back more partying less and taking more shots on goal. Pirlo got shittier in almost everything. Notice other than the Madrid goal his fans have very little to boast about from this season. Wonder why the hair comments have grown from just the girls? Because there's almost nothing to praise him for anymore. Lastly I know Mad couldn't possibly use the Manure match to knock Ron when all the mediahouses were remarking on how badly Park raped Pirlo both in attack and on the defence. Meanwhile Ron was one of the few bright spots in the ordeal. Some postulate that if khunt had not missed the plethora of chances created by R80 the tie might have gone differently.

Contrary to what you're saying, in case you didn't skim through the thread, I've posted more than 5 vids from his performances this season - including countless historic events that hold a special place in any Milan fan's heart As opposed to the Italy vs Brazil friendly + Deportivo and Istanbul matches ... clips that mostly anti-Milan fans jizz over

REPENT!!!!

And HELL NO!!! Did you just bring in the match against United at OT? n/g you got to be trippin ... Even though Pirlo was man-marked (UNLIKE POOR DINHO POWERS) he had a MUCH BETTER GAME than Dinho who was quite frankly VERY POOR. Of course, the whole team sucked ... we started strongly then fell to pieces thanks to amateur coaching mistakes ... but Pirlo was definitely one of our better performers ... maybe only Flamini and Silva were better ... Dinho? Definitely NOT!

GRAZIE ANDREA for that

Understood. Just remember ... your tone then is astonishingly similar to what it is right now. So don't rule out the possibility of me being right again

I'd rather go with the 4-2-3-1, someone like hernanes alongside ambrosini/flamini would be perfect, dinho pato and a RW and we can count on borri, no need for dzeko, Id rather have them spend the money on a GK and fullbacks, I think thats pretty balanced as long as you have fullbacks that can defend and are pretty limited since there are wingers.

Ronaldinho

Now we're talking/dreaming.

Too lightweight for me. I think you can get away with playing a 2-man central midfield, with only one dedicated DM, against weak opposition.

Against teams as good as you, I still think you can get away with it unless your widemen (attackers mostly, but wingbacks incl.) are hard workers + support the central midfield. Alternatively, you could also simply just add a third CM, ask him to be more active in attack, yet still have defensive and central midfield responsibilities, enabling your attackers to not have much defensive responsibilities.

However, as our dear game has involved, so has certain principles. Work rate is even more important than it was before, but the general formula is still simple. A strong central midfield that doesn't give too much space to their opponents is very hard to dominate. It is essential that teams work as a unit, defending and attacking together.

Now, you could go the MERDA route + make your attackers do a lot of work that they aren't accustomed to. Strangely, I cannot see Dinho being as committed to the cause as say Eto'o was for MERDA this term. So, it is imperative IMO that the midfield be of three, giving our three attackers more freedom to do what they do best ... and even then; they would be required to put in a shift should the central midfield need help.

Well I remember Dinho being double marked but still feeding the *goat* Ooops I meant the khunt Dinho was doing his job.

Never will I blame Pirlo for the Manure debacle....as you rightly mentioned it was an unfortunate mixture of poor coaching and lack of Nesta Duck etc.

How you could take pride in Pirlo's being one of the better performers in a 4-0 anal **** sort of amazes me (but only sort of ).....The mere fact that it was a 4-0 defeat means that NOBODY was particularly in a attack OR defense...Meanwhile Dinho's standout performances have DIRECTLY led to our wins or snatching a draw from defeat etc.

Other than rack up his "frequent walker miles" what is Pirlo's contribution? Seriously if we had another Ambrosini we'd have been THAT much stronger without the orchestrated scam artist


Your vids don't show him doing ANYTHING special apart from his single solitary goal. Funny how you can praise him for creating chances for the team (99% of which aren't converted) BUT you bang away at Dinho who's gets the ACTUAL assist...i.e. chances so good even Borri and Khunt can't f**k it up . It's no secret that the reason why we believe a clinical striker would help us to score zillions of goals....because of maestro??? HELL no....it's because of Dinho's magic. Let's face it neither of us like the guy but at least I can credit him for doing well...you'd rather praise someone who's contributions can be recounted on one hand (we all know what you use the other hand for )

I don't see it that way. Won't deny the 4-3-3 was supposed to accommodate Dinho....but inmany respects it was also o accommodate Pirlo. Like I said, Pirlo NEEDS another player protecting him and it's too much of a burden to our team honestly and not worth losing the teeth in midfield.

I agree that the formations were bizzare but it's notl like we could have used a 4-1-2-1-2 either....Pirlo would totally get raped and leave us exposed....4-4-2 doesn't suit anyone particularly so 4-3-3 was the most efficient utilization of our resources. Sure Pato had to play out of position but this happened last year as well with thousands complaining "OMG he's a ss not a CF" now ppl are crying "omg he's a st not a rw"....until we get a decent left back and boot Pirlo's ass once and all out our starting lineup it makes NO SENSE placing Dinho as CAM because neither he nor Pirlo does a proper job defensively....only that a player with Dinho's abilities is usually given a free role and someone in Pirlo's position should at least have the basics of defense down....but heyyyyyy who needs that when you orchestrate so well?

Personally if I were Leo I'd have tried

--Abate--Nesta--Silva--Anto
--Flam-------GPS------Ambro--
---Duck---Borriello---Dinho---


This was hardly ever used for some reason. In Flam's place there was either Dorf or Gattuso...both would lead to the same problems...no bite in midfield.....Dorf would have helped retain posession better but his forte isn't defense even though he's actually good at it and Gattuso is well...useless in everything

The problem is that although it lets Pirlo to spray the ball around the field....I'm not sure Ambro and especially Flam could do more than a half decent job of retaining possession till we get the opening we need. I guess that was the whole rationale behind playing Dorf....if only Pirlo could help out just a tiny bit defensively......

 

[adriancg]

Pirlo being one of the better performers in anal ****

So that's where all the hate comes from.

Nice finishing touch. In case people haven't got it, the other hand was used for counting tens

It depends on which leg you're talking about. If it was the one in Milan, yes ... Dinho clearly had a much better game. If it was the one in OT, I strongly disagree. I suggest you re-watch that debacle, even if it isn't advisable, to clarify that ... it was one of the matches where you'd say ... "is Dinho even playing?" And lets be honest ... there have been quite a few of those games, even in a season when his fanatics are proudly claiming his back to his best.

In the end, say what you want about Pirlo ... but he's had a much better season than in the recent past. He's been a lot more consistent throughout the season as well IMO ... which cannot be said of Dinho; with his roller coaster performances such as the Sampdoria one immediately followed by a forgettable Zurich outing ...

Anyway, let me dish out another one:



GRAZIE MAESTRO

I won't tell just make sure none gets on the keyboard...that shit never comes out

I suggest you re-watch that debacle, even if it isn't advisable, to clarify that ... it was one of the matches where you'd say ... "is Dinho even playing?" And lets be honest ... there have been quite a few of those games, even in a season when his fanatics are proudly claiming his back to his best.

First of all most websites had Ron and Pirlo as equal for the second leg (click for the goal.crap ratings)
Ok let's for argument's sake say you're right...we don't put much faith in goal's ratings anyway. So let's say you're spot on....what did ronaldinho do in the first leg? Scored and was a danger for most of the match....what did Pirlo do

Second leg....let's say that Pirlo did play better...did he defend well? Hmmm methinks not sir I mean they DID score 4. Did he attack well? Well there were obviously no goals/assists (that woud be the "nil" part ). So even if Pirlo did play better in the second leg it could not have been appreciably more...unlike Ron's contribution where HE SCORED A GOAL and kept attacking and everybody saw how well he fed khunt..

And that's the whole argument embodied by the Manure debacle....when Ron does well you can see it feel it touch it. You see the goal/ the assist/ cool samba dance etc. When Pirlo plays well it usually isn't that big of a deal. Yes I know I come off as a huge n00b who has no idea about the finer points of the game but hear me out.....Much of the time (post '08) when Pirlo is allegedly the bright spot in our team we don't do particularly well. Whenever Ron has a good game we usually end up winning. I'll leave you to decide who has been the better player this year.

Yes I know someone in Pirlo's role is crucial for possession football...however it's pretty hard when that player no longer has what it takes to actually retain possession before being easily rushed off of the ball or forced into making errors, shit passes or even worse...shit backpasses.

In the end, say what you want about Pirlo ... but he's had a much better season than in the recent past. He's been a lot more consistent throughout the season as well IMO ... which cannot be said of Dinho; with his roller coaster performances such as the Sampdoria one immediately followed by a forgettable Zurich outing ...

I'll give you that...but even you have to agree that it's because he was HORRIBLE before his form got that slight upturn from where it was before. Better as you put it suggests improvement and since he's pretty non-descript even now once can only conclude that he was poor (at best) before.

Anyway, let me dish out another one:



GRAZIE MAESTRO

As for my finishing punchline ... well, I guess they don't get better than this


LMAO!

Yeah with all your thanking of Il Maestro...don't forget to thank him for the shit penalty he and $heva shot at Dudek of all ppl to totally ruin Maldini's gloden efforts and Crespo's best chance at CL glory ....Yeah Il Maestro is too good to get stuck in else he might break a nail or get mud on his lovely shirt (you know how fussy the drycleaners are these days )....Looking over Fiero's videos shows how much one shit player can do to f**k up an otherwise great team.....he was actually F**KING jogging all game. You realize that Pirlo has a massive role to play in our ETERNAL shame...not helping out on the Defense...something that you keep railing on Ron- a forward for- THEN that utter SHIT penalty

I hope Allegri exorcises the demon of sloth and banishes his deep lying ass from the fashion capital forever

Edit:

Wow a couple of passes that leads to NOTHING and a couple of decent shots....wow there's no waaaay anyone could top that

[Wild]

you're joking, right?

Let me spot light it for you to digest : when did I ever say any of our youth product can replace Pirlo ?

What funny about Pirlo fan club is that there is always an excuse why Pirlo isnt playing like any holding midfielder out there.
I mean its always a case of what he could have done if ...... rather than what he actually did.
Pure speculation about how would he kick ass if Milan had this or Milan had that.
Its a sign that they themselves admit he wasnt all that.
Back in the Anshit way it was Milan not having kick ass full backs coz if Milan had those then Pirlo would have .......(speculations).
Now its about Dinho coz you see if Milan didnt wanna accommodate Dinho then Pirlo would have ....... (speculations).
This is a player who had a good world cup where he made a good contribution for wining Italy the title of maybe the worst WC I ever watched & he had a good season when he started with Milan & the rest 5-6+ were just mediocre & a case of speculations about how would he kick ass only if according to his fans.

 

[Patri]

A 4-3-3 with a flat midfield instead of the 2-1 midfield shit would've been way better with the kind players we have.
With
Pirlo - - - Ambro
- - - Dorf - - -
in mid like we played, the only midfielder to properly contribute to defense is Ambro. Dorf doesn't track back much. And Pirlo can't seem to be able to do much defensively and especially on the wide players. Add to that, our fullback capabilities and the reluctance of our attacking wingers to track back, we're practically gonna get raped by any team with wingers and a good CF. When our opponents have possession in midfield, they just have to spray the ball wide, and they're running straight at the fullbacks. They don't need to get through our midfield. They can just easily and quickly move around them without any effort or guile. If we're playing three forwards, playing both Dorf AND Pirlo in midfield just isn't feasible. With our 'quality' wingbacks, there is no way we can play a three man midfield that includes both Pirlo and Dorf.

And we definitely have to improve humongously with the fullbacks. Compare our fullbacks to Ashley Cole, Neville, Evra, Alves, Abidal, Lahm, Maicon and Zanetti, and you'll see where our's lie. Until that improves, there is no chance in hell that we'll win anything, or all those teams should come down to our level. If to you, Abate and Anto show promise, well and good. But until they fulfil their promise, we can just watch the trophies pass us by.

 

[Senatore_M84]

dru it was a 4-2-4...... seedorf never got back defensively except the RM game. I dunno if it was his doing for formation.... but no dening when milan whent see-pirlo--ambro... it was a 4-2-4

Disgraceful.

Pirlo 'out for two to three weeks'

Andrea Pirlo will be out for “two to three weeks,” warned medical staff, so Andrea Cossu flies to South Africa with the squad as an alternate.

Cossu was already on stand-by when Mauro German Camoranesi picked up a knee injury, but the Juventus man is expected to be fit for the opener with Paraguay on June 14.

The same cannot be said of Pirlo, who pulled up during Friday’s training session with a calf strain.

“We will take the medical tests one day at a time and keep a constant monitor on his situation,” explained Professor Enrico Castellacci.

“For this type of injury you generally expect to be out for 15-20 days, but it depends on the individual physique of the player.

“We think he could recover for a few games. It’s up to the Coach to decide, as all we can do is give a medical opinion.”

nobody should ever really bring up istanbul penalty shootout as a reference to prove a point...
first of all it still hurts and most importantly... it's all thanks to not-so-fair-play from dudek we lost
watch the replay again, dudek was no way at the line when the shots were taken
(which according to the rules, where he should be, btw thanks ref for noticing that )

Most of Milan players are as average as Pirlo & most have their fans & haters so if haters wished the Milan players that they hate to get/stayed injured then Milan is fucked & the available players for next game would be : TS - Nesta & Pato.

Now its about Dinho coz you see if Milan didnt wanna accommodate Dinho then Pirlo would have ....... (speculations).
This is a player who had a good world cup where he made a good contribution for wining Italy the title of maybe the worst WC I ever watched & he had a good season when he started with Milan & the rest 5-6+ were just mediocre & a case of speculations about how would he kick ass only if according to his fans.

Very well said Sir......it's always...."IF"
IF huntelaar wasn't so ******ED Pirlo would have had more assists
IF the keeper wasn't so world class Pirlo would have scored more
IF Pirlo didn't have to do (insert excuse) he'd have totally orchestrated the attack



You can see it even from the vids ppl post....a bunch of "nearly assists" etc

dru it was a 4-2-4...... seedorf never got back defensively except the RM game. I dunno if it was his doing for formation.... but no dening when milan whent see-pirlo--ambro... it was a 4-2-4

Well I guess I don't watch Milan games then because A lot of the time I see Dorf defending his ass off.

if milanlabb is fixing him, he would miss entire wc and half the season

i dont believe in pirlo fanboys.. i believe there are milan fans who appreciate him as a player and everything he gave to milan which were created as a result of people who wanted to anti-value him for whatever reasone.
