If he can score each free kick the way he did today being unmotivated isn't a big deal at all

That's the thing, all his other free kicks were lame. His work rate was also really low.

I’m Not Going Anywhere, Pirlo Assures
Andrea Pirlo has reassured the Milan faithful by declaring that he has no intent to leave the San Siro in the summer.
Juventus and Bayern Munich have both been linked with bank-busting bids for the Azzurri star, even though Milan president Silvio Berlusconi has always been keen to stress that the 28-year-old is not for sale for any price.
Now, it would certainly appear that their charm offensive has had no affect on Pirlo’s contentness in Milan.
“I can confirm that I’ll still be at Milan next season,” said the stylish midfielder. “The fact is that my contract runs until 2011.”
This was a marked shift in tone from comments made by Pirlo recently, as he had gotten in the habit of announcing his admiration for Juventus and Bayern, for whom his close friends Gianluigi Buffon and Luca Toni famously star.
This might not be enough to dissuade his suitors from preparing offers in excess of 25m Euro to test both Milan and Pirlo’s resolve, however, as the former Brescia man counts as one of the coveted midfielders on the planet.

Yeah.
It's obvious that playing with the same faces year after year, with the same coach and using same tactics becomes boring and all their stars lose motivation. Just look at them, they always find motivation in CL, when playing for their national teams, when they play super cups and i expect them to do the same in club world championship, but they never do it in Italy.
Look at Pirlo in Europe and serie A, look at Gattuso against Manchester last year and against the minnows in Italy. Kaka's last good match in serie A was...2004 ? 2005 ?
I really don't understand Milan and how they are making things easier for us, Roma and Inter. All they needed this summer were 4-5 young players to put pressure on Gattuso, Pirlo, Inzaghi or Seedorf. To make them feel how their place in the starting 11 is threatened. If they bought players like Nocerino, Iaquinta, Tiago or Hamsik not only they'd have gotten more hunger and pace in the team but they would have forced their stars to work harder and to find motivation where they usually never find.
But all these stars in Milan get very high wages, their place in the starting line up is safe and they almost never leave Milan exactly because of this. That's why, unless Pirlo has a wife that wants her children to learn the Turin dialect, i don't give a chance for us to sign him.

Milan did sell arguably the biggest fish in their tank ie Shevchenko,and they did struggle without him.Yes they won the CL,but Milan are simply not as effective upfront without him.I wouldnt put it Milan to sell one of their biggest stars yet again however.A team that was willing meet Ronaldinho's release clause is obviously very strong financially,and they dont need Kaka to be sold for a massive fee to reinforce their squad.They can do that without even selling Kaka.Provided we offer Milan the something around the 25m-30m mark,i think we can sign Pirlo,but im sure we wont be dishing out so much money on one player.Every player has a price,their is no such thing as an 'unsaleable' player.
yeah I think its around €150 million euros or €100 million euros but its really high. But don't the release clauses in the Spanish league only apply to the spanish clubs, I read that somewhere, I think it was either Goal.com or Channel4. I really hate the fact that players can buyout their contracts.
