I dont give a f**k whether he will manage or not in a 3,4,5 man mid if pressed, unpressed, cooked, baked or what not..... He is a world class player! And world-class players can't be so easily dealt with. Yes, they may press him, but what good would that do to the other team, when by the time they take the ball from him, he would have already passed it to Matri/Vucinic and they would have scored. My best friend who is a Real M. supporter for all his life, compared Pirlo's movement to Zidane's....and trust me, coming from my friend, who considers Zidane to be a football God, the best of the best, no other like him, this is a big thing.... If i were you, i would be more worried about Marchisio, De Ceglie, Krasic, Pepe, Matri being pressed!!
