Andrea Pirlo’s impact on this year’s Scudetto-winning side has been nothing short of sensational.
Since arriving on a free transfer from Milan in the summer, the midfield general has provided the base upon which Antonio Conte has shaped his new-look Juventus, offering guile and experience, while lighting up the championship with his pinpoint vision.
A few eyebrows were raised when Andrea completed his move to Turin. After suffering an injury-plagued 2010/11 campaign, there were fears the 33-year-old would not be able to recapture his best form or feature on a consistent basis.
But these fears can be laid to rest by the hard facts: Andrea Pirlo has made the most appearances and played the most minutes for the Bianconeri this season. The impressive figures of 37 championship games and 3,501 minutes become even more noteworthy when considering the four fixtures and 416 minutes contested in the Coppa Italia.
Further statistical analysis highlights the midfielder’s undoubted class. He completed 2,674 passes, 54 dribbles, laid on 12 assists for his team-mates and weighed in with three goals.
