Andrea Pirlo Thread

[leaf]

A change of heart

I think it's time for me to finally forgive Pirlo.

Yes he might have said some things that didn't go down well with me as a fan...but at the end of the day I was quite lucky to see him play for my beloved club...and live as well with Italy.

He was a true maestro and genius and the minute I found myself secretly wishing that he didn't score that free kick against England, I knew that the problem was with me not with Il Maestro.

Under this new management and in these uncertain times I don't know if we'll ever see a player as special as he was...that's all. Grazie Maestro, for showing us the true art of the beautiful game.

One of the best midfielders ever in football

No many (probably most) think that he's a Milan legend.

I don't consider him to be because I viewed him as he presented himself in his own book....as a mercenary who would crawl on his hands and knees to play for Madrid. What he thinks in his heart wouldn't even be that important, were it not for the FACT that he played post 2006 as a player who's mind was in Spain.

The effort he put out, and the fact that he resumed scoring free kicks for Juve just emphasizes the fact that he didn't give a shit about Milan. Maybe he cared about the Italy national team, if he cared about any team at all.

got a blank check from Berlusconi

> "I belonged to Real Madrid, not Milan. I was a Madrid player in my head, my heart and my soul."
> "It was August 2009 and I'd reached agreement with Chelsea"

We developed him in to a WC player and talks afterwards about his failed opportunities at other clubs.

Fuck this bitch.

yup
He came from Inter essentially as a flop.
He was the weakest and slowest in the "pure #10" role

I always laugh hysterically when his fans here claim that he was good as, or mention him in the same breath as Zidane or any other actual #10's that made it without having to convert their role.

But I don't begrudge P!rl0 for what he thought. Thought crime is not a thing for me.

I actually saw him play......and put in one pedestrian, nonchalant performance after another. He didn't even put the effort into hitting his free kicks...because he went approx. 2 YEARS without scoring them....all the while groupie ass BITCHES were calling him "Maestro" and similar to today, would rather shit on the entire squad as a reason for his performances.

As if that weren't insulting enough, he goes to Juve and starts scoring them again He goes back to running, even tackling the shit out of Seedorf and tracking back in the game we played against juBe.

Exactly... 100% deserves the testimonial.

Absolute special player. A treasure of the nation. Be grateful to have seen him play in the Milan jersey, you ingrates.

One of my all time favourite Pirlo moments.



The goalkeepers face

 

[MilanMB]

Pirlo and his fans must be happy now

 

[Polotelli]

big names for the testimonial

missing Zlatan, Beckham and especially Kaka tho

 

[Sage]

definitely a milan legend.

 

[Massaro94]

Farewell maestro

Farewell maestro

Guy was a Italian legend, not a one club legend (sadly for us). Looking at that game, even though i know they didn't take it seriously, seeing them play with more fluidity than current Milan annoys the fuck out of me.

 

[Ronin]

He was instrumental in our best period of the last 20+ years. He's a legend whether you want it or not.

 

[JohnnyWunderboy]

Farewell maestro

I'm getting emotional seeing Sheva assist Seedorf, Inzaghi scoring a trademark scrappy goal, Cafu scoring, Maldini sitting next to Carlo on the bench.

Man... It's so beautiful.

pirlo:



I won't even hate on pirla, to me he's simply a good player who played for Milan, legend? hell no.

appreciate someone who had a football hiatus from 2007-2011? why?

pirla is garbage

grazie maestro for being who you are


a worthless piece of shit.

Better times

me and you trolled so hard, we got banned from this section

This should serve as a warning kids....never forget who you are or where you came from.

I'll come back if you promise not to ban me from this thread

Pity

 

[Sage]

It's quite amazing that a guy who went from being an inter fan to a milan fan can't fathom people changing their opinion.

After a short while I realized Inter was shit and my favourite player left. That's making a decision based on facts.

You decided that P!rl0 was a legend after he joined Juventus AND wrote a book admitting not wanting to play for Milan since 2006.... something that YOU yourself criticized him for.....yet your opinion automagially falls in line with necromancer's after you became a mod. I'd be interested in hearing what were your reasons for the change....which only happened after you became a mod. A mere coincidence I'm sure.

Oh you have the official terms of reference for sports teams' fans?

I wasn't even a football fan to begin with. Just followed teams that had players I liked. Apologies for my fandom not being up to the Congo Powers specifications

 

[Congo Powers]

number one rule of fandom--fans cannot switch team :/

 

[leaf]

So players can't be fans then?

 

[Congo Powers]

players get paid to play...not be a fan =/
