Andrea Pirlo - CM - AC Milan (46 Viewers)

Was it Seven that said that C. Zanetti was better than Xavi?

Yes.

In the context I used 20x u know I meant to say much better or a lot ...

Pirlo slow down passing? surely a man of his quality would be able to adapt , same with totti imagine him playing with barca attacking the final third

I can imagine all that. And even with both Pirlo and Totti in their primes, it wouldn't be 20 times better than what it is now with Xavi and Iniesta.

Veron had pretty sick long range passes.

Pirlo best passer in the last 20 years yeah right.

I was waiting for someone to mention Beckham but his passes are usually assists, so that's kinda different.

Totti and Pirlo on their best > Xavi & Iniesta

I used to be a "huge" fan of Totti when he first started playing football with Roma (as a 21-22 years old). He had everything, technique, sick skills, long + short passes plus a great eye for goals. Haven't seen many players that were as complete (with hardly any weakness in his game). But in the past 5-6 years somehow the guy have really changed.

He became a self-centered, arrogant fuck that i simply can't stand watching. And he is hardly as impressive nowadays (even in the past 4-5 years) as he was as a 21-25 year old.

I am not a big fan of Totti. Can't stand him. Pirlo is a ok guy, great player.

 

[Niddo]

how about taking a gamble on either veloso or gago instead?cheaper options in terms of wages,much younger and both have international experience

 

[Flamez]

Best passer of the past 20 years? There was a time he was the best in the current game, but the 20 years stuff is a stretch.

For instance, I'd argue Veron was the better long-range passer.

In his prime he was better than Veron imo. I can be wrong because probably I didn't see Veron in his prime years, but I don't think so.

But yeah, I probably exaggerated since I started seeing football in 90's end/2000's begining.

 

[Ahmed]

that's a tough one, Veron of Lazio days was just an incredible player.

 

[j0ker]

Another great game from Pirlo.

 

[Yamen]

Agnelli said on skysport that Pirlo isour first signing.

 

[javi_berti]

quote or vid?

 

[Azzurri7]

Agnelli and Marotta will probably end up signing Gattuso by mistake.

 

[Yamen]

quote or vid?

video I believe..

 

[juve_ultra]

OH just great...so the Milan reject is actually coming here...

As a replacement for Aquilani, then fine. However, if we are planning on having him, Aquilani, and Marchisio while selling Melo, then may god help us all. What remains is for us to sign Montolivo. In that case, then even divine intervention might not suffice.

 

[JuveJay]

On the Pirlo v Xavi thing, different sort of passers.
