Andrea Pirlo (105 Viewers)

[Salvatore]

I'll wait for the scummy media to create a story about tension with Pirlo, now Llorente is the focus of positive attention.

Edit: This is coming from the report that he went straight off to the dressing room when substituted.

I guess he was frustrated with that guy who was following him everywhere.

 

[Alen]

Conte: Jorginho followed Pirlo everywhere, I thought he was going to follow him into the toilets at one point!

It was indeed an unusual view. I once saw it in La Liga, when one player followed Xavi the same way Jorginho followed Pirlo today. It's basically the same as watching a 10 vs 10 match.

 

[Badass J Elkann]

WTF!

 

[Ramin]

I've never seen Pirlo completely marked out of the game like today! He was there today just for the corners and that last free kick before he was subbed.

 

[Linebreak]

Pirlo looks to be on his last legs. Someone like Xabi can't come soon enough...

I do get a feeling Pirlo will pick things up at some stage during the season though, one last hurrah!

 

[Elvin]

Don't renew. Seriously.

Or renew one year MAX.

 

[baggio]

Like Salv said, he seems to have gone straight to the locker room. The media, Gazetta I think, saying that he disrespected his teammates by not sitting on the bench and cheering them on. while Conte played down the incident saying he didn't notice it.

If there is even a slight possibility of a rift here, I wouldn't blame Conte in this case, coz Everytime he has subbed Pirlo off in the last 3 games, he has been right to do so.

 

[Ragazza]

It's sad to think of a player like Pirlo declining. :depressed

 

[Elvin]

Pirlo has a huge ego.

 

[icemaη]

That he does. Most of the great ones do.

 

[Cuti]

Pirlo hates it when a player is there solely to block him out of the game. I remember Andre Schembri did it for Malta against Italy, and Pirlo wrote around 3 pages on him in his autobiography!

'on his last legs'

I'm not expecting Pogba to legitimately threaten his position in the near future.

 

[Deep C]

I like when players show some fire and are pissed off with not influencing the game.

 

[baggio]

Although its also nice when they show some humility and don't project that their concerns are bigger than those of the team. It seems he went straight to the locker room even in the last game he was subbed in. If any of this is true, then not cool.

Like Quags

You try too hard Nzoric of the house of Copenhagen

 

[baggio]

Quag went straight to the dressing room on being subbed? Oh no, wait, he mouthed off at Alessio, the single incident you have of his track record in what, 3 and a half seasons here? I don't want to make this another Quag tangent, but you have to be aware that I'm talking about Pirlo who is viewed as one of the pillars/leaders of the team (on the pitch and in the dressing room). The consequences, if any of this is true, can have a negative effect on his rapport with the coach and teammates, who will then challenge the authority of the coach.

 

[Nzoric]

Shut up and accept the fact that its cool when Pirlo does it and its not when Quags does it.

 

[ZoSo]

Like Quags

Or like Mirko who berates anyone at any chance.

inb4 it is acceptable because they don't understand him and his genius level is too high
