because pirlo gives assists to robinho, pato, ibrahimovic, inzaghi and ronaldinho
while aqua had iaquinta, amauri
i have watched enough juve-games this season (perhaps missed 2 matches) and i saw that aquilani does perhaps achieve a pirlo-esqe over the defense-ball once every 5 matches. the passing of pirlo (and this is something that stays regardless of age) is at least on class better then aquilanis. how many times does aquilani stretch the field by changing the side of play by a pass that goes to the other wing ? things that pirlo does nearly every game are very rarely seen by aquilani.
aqua is essential to juventus, if he isnt visibale, he still offers plenty
he isnt moving much, cause we play rigid, organised.
if he moved we'd be caught horribly out of possession, is the thinking behind it
yes, aquilani does add something to our game, that keeps us ticking, but it is so much less than what you would expect from someone who is worth more than 10m €.
your thoughts about the game and not being allowed to move much, because of a rigid system are pretty funny.
i bet my coach would laugh his ass off, if i told him "i can't get into space to receive a ball, because we would lose our organization and get cought out off position". sorry, but not moving much is exactly what makes it very easy for the opponents players to mark him out of the game and this leads to him being invisible because he does not touch the ball in dangerous areas, because he is marked and does not move to lose his marker.
pirlo was the best regista i ever saw play football, xavi cant even tie his shoes, but he's old, past it, and has won everything. he isnt motivated as it should be
we are not talking about motivation and the lack of involvement of aqua could also be a sign of missing motivation, but lets not stretch it. i am just saying don't pay that money for aquilani. get someone better/other where the player is worth the price and only if there is no such player, then get pirlo as stopgap.
