Andrea Pirlo (80 Viewers)

It's surprising but I never thought he would be fundamental to the national team's success after the last world cup.

Interesting, because he played for about 25 minutes in that World Cup.

No, not because his class was in question. Just thought our reliance on him would reduce coz of his age, which was based on the fact that he would perhaps be replaced by a more dynamic player in time for this Euro. But because his game doesn't involve much speed, I've realised he is still capable of making a difference.

The dependency worries be too. I wonder if Conte is thinking about a protege... I wonder if Morrone could have what it takes.

Who do you guys could be a perfect Pirlo protege for the future? Or is it too soon to think about that?

feels like Pirlo was made to play for Juve...

He needs players running around him, oppening up for him. Can't have that at the Retirement Home Milan. So he plays his best here.

I do wonder which club he supported as a child?

So pretty much the same thing as Del Piero going to L.A. Galaxy

Did you just compare Juve to LAG?

It sucks to be Milan fan these days, especially after seeing Pirlo doing very well for us!

I couldn't care less if Vidal took it or Pirlo. The important thing is that we scored.

I am sure if Vidal really wanted that hatrick, he would take it himself.

I saw Vidal pat him on the back just before he took it, don't think he was really that bothered.

At only 32, we have at least 3 years of this guy doing what he has done this season.

3 years? only 2 more left on his contract tho.

To the 11th-13th years old milanisti out there, blame Galliani instead of Pirlo! Pirlo is not a traitor. Yes mr. Galliani, this is your grand mistake!

Awesome picture. Galliani

Hhahahaha

You can't really blame anyone under the circumstances. These things happen in football, and hindsight is always 20/20. I'm sure, faced with a similar situation we'd have perhaps done the same. In fact, Galliani offered him a one year extension which he refused for a longer contract. I don't think we'd have even offered that.

When you account for him getting older and playing more games every week, 3 years more is a bit of a stretch. The only way we can elongate his life on the pitch is getting somebody, responsible enough to take up his role on fairly regular basis. I can't see Pirlo keeping up this form if he's overused next season. Fatigue will play a big factor for him eventually.

of course you can, Allegri.

his incompetence is glaringly obvious in this case, to not be able to utilize a player like Pirlo just says it all.

Pirlo has his two attack dogs beside him (Vidal and Marchisio) he doesnt have to do much running, so Im not that worried about his physical condition. He'd easily be able to play with us until he's 35 or 36 barring any major injuries IMO.
