I think it's pure CLASS (and to me obvious) that he plays football for the love of the game - reckon it's difficult to find these players nowadays who probably get carried away with the fame etc that comes with it (but who wouldn't). Pirlo could've become some cocky as bastard if he wanted to, or done anything else, but he knew he was lacking motivation in Milan and needed something fresh to motivate him in football.
Damn, one of the best transfers this season. Forgot who said it but really surprising no one (media) made a fuss about us snapping him up for free.
