Carrick is a good player but mentioning him in the same sentence as Pirlo is blasphemy.

"Raheem Sterling running at Pirlo and nutmegging him, or Wayne Rooney leaving a foot in to upset – not injure – the Italian, upsetting him so much he wants to get off the field. That’s what England should have done."

They are still so clueless when it comes to anything besides EPL or Real Madrid/Barca players. Poor souls.

I love how he said

It’s all about opinions, and I’d probably conclude Pirlo is a better player than Carrick. But if England had used him in their midfield instead of messing around trying to use Lampard and Gerrard together, we may have been more successful. Anyone scoffing at this can’t prove me wrong.

Sadass level cringe right there.

It's so funny, the logic is ridiculous. "Upsetting him"...Like he is a 4 year old.

Unfortunately you can find such dumbass fans in every country.

Its a good point with Carrick, he is twice the passer Gerrard will ever be.

If England went down that road, they would be a better team.

Scholes was stuck out ot the left, Gerrard & Lampard played central......Scholes is a brilliant footballer, just ask Pirlo.

 

[GrecoJuve]

Carrick has only that long-short passes. Nothing more, not the technique that Pirlo has.
He can't be in the same sentence with geniuses like Pirlo and Scholes.

Fucking Carrick.

You need passers in the middle of the park, Gerrard is not that, Carrick is more of that mould, as is Huddlestone.

Yes they are not as good as Pirlo, but England dont have a Pirlo.

Yes, but per capita, England leads the way with deluded fuck football fans.

England don't have an organizer. Gerrard is simply the leader but he can't take the rolo of the organizer. Carrick lack of class, same Huddlestone. Only Scholes have a combo of passes and class. Anyway, England will be in the next stage for sure, after that suicide from Uruguay. But they need players like Pirlo, Xavi or Scholes.

That player will be Ross Barkley.

If a nation does not have the quality in certain areas, then they are just not that good, simple.

Carrick is a better CM, in the role we need than Gerrard. Barry is better in the DMC role, than henderson is.

Rather than pick a player fitted to the role we will play, we shoe-horn Names in to a position, because of the standing in the media with big clubs.

I recently finished reading Pirlo's book in Italian, the part of the warming up killed me, especially when he continues and says that he has asked coaches to cancel warming up lol

probably has already been posted somewhere: http://media2.corriere.it/gazzetta/pdf/2014/costarica.pdf
compare pirlo´s top speed to all the others, especially sirigu´s
and still he absolutely owned the midfield

That's an English perspective to everything; get up and at 'em, 100mph football, they don't like it.

It's worked so far

To be fair, it is the Daily Mail.

Does anyone know of an up and coming player in Italy that has the potential to replace him when he retires? Doesn't have to be as good at the moment. Is Verratti seriously the only Italian regista with any potential to be great?
