I can see why Milan fans would be pissed. He seems to have more love for both Inter and Juve than he does for Milan, even though he spent the longest and won the most at Milan. Overall though, he doesn't seem like someone who has any real loyalty to clubs. If his agent (or Capello in the case of Madrid) rings him and says he's moving club, he tends to say "okay".

The way he talked about Galliani was pretty funny.

Ill not judge him about his feeling toward MIlan. He really loved AC milan, but suddenly was disposed like fodder after all his contribution to AC Milan´s history. I would obviously feel betrayed by the big fishes too.
He is only unleashing some of it into Galliani and Berlusca to let them know he is still mad.

Not sure about still loving Inter really, according to him he turned down a move back out of respect for Milan. Plus several occasions where he's posed for photos with anti-Inter scarves, etc. In the book in general he does seem less bitter toward Inter than Milan (or figures at Milan) though. Regardless, I don't blame him for any bitterness, he was mishandled here and if he'd stayed who knows if he would have turned out to be half the player he is.

I don't know why you guys are impressed/shocked that Pirlo praises Guardiola/Barcelona, isn't it obvious that one of the best ever passers in football would be interested in playing for a team that passes the other team to death?

okay so the book finally arrived in the mail two days ago and I finished it yesterday.

It's a shame how he actually believes in Calciopoli, but he also notes that even if that Juve team didn't receive "help" they still would have won everything because they just didn't give up and it would piss him off. That as an opposing player to that Juve, you always knew that if you scored that so would Juve, and that they wouldn't give up until they scored again and again. And that with Conte and Agnelli that spirit has returned. And he calls himself a Juventino.

He calls Conte the greatest coach in the world whilst apologizing to the rest of the coaches he has been under.

The book gives you a feeling that he's waiting until he retires to REALLY speak his mind about certain things and people like Zlatan, Huntelaar, and the Bic guy(galliani :lol: throughout the book he gives him many pen related nicknames instead of using his actual name).

He never mentions the great Marotta.

He talks about Del Piero for a chapter and his last season here. He definitely has much admiration for Ale and calls him a specially tuned engine. He definitely confirms that Ale's departure was due to problems with Andrea Agnelli and a contract renewal negotiation that either never happened or went bad. That he has too much respect for both men to have ever asked what went wrong. That he loves them both.

Alot of resentment towards his primavera teammates who were jealous of him. He even regrets how they acted towards him, they saw him as a threat. He even says himself, that they could have became pros together but instead they would treat him as if he was not part of the team, when they could have easily grabbed his outreached arm and gone along together. In other words, that his skills would have made them look great too, but they refused so instead he had to put the ball into the net himself.

Gives little hints that he used his Milan pen to sign for us. :lol:

You get a feeling of regret from him staying at Milan for so long.

He mentions how Matri is a very underrated striker, that he only needs one touch to put the ball into the net. And how he always thinks hes sick. ahahaha.

Revealed how Gilardino always carries an ancient pair of boots with him that kit sponsors forbid him from wearing on the field. And how Inzaghi's pre-match ritual is to take MANY shits and stink up the locker room because it brings him good luck. :lol:

I only saw one quick replay but I'm pretty sure he just stood there as his man sprinted past him and shot it into the top corner.
