That summer, twelve years ago, the life of Andrea Pirlo changed forever. Perhaps worried by competition from Rui Costa for the jersey “10″ of Milan, perhaps eager to get involved as a director before the defense (intuition Mazzone at Brescia), asked Carlo Ancelotti to play him play bass tournament Berlusconi in 2002 (right against Juve). That has become his role. Indeed, Pirlo has sublimated in modern football in which the role of playmaker, usually, the geometries can be combined with the refined technique (see Xabi Alonso, Kroos). But Pirlo is another category and the whole world envies us. Why is a former “10″, which prompted Trapattoni, his former coach, to call it “one of Zico front of the defense.”
DEBUT WITH TRAP – A few days after that “debut”, the same Trap, then ct, the lined in blue for the first time in Azerbaijan: the last quarter of an hour instead of Inzaghi. First token of a long series. And against Azerbaijan, twelve years and a month later, the National Pirlo finds himself that seemed to have left forever in Brazil, present number 113 it needed was a chat with Conte to change your mind, and from silent leader, understand that at 35 years even he could ask to be untouchable. If the play with De Rossi, Verratti and others. One day will be able to stay at home, another being indispensable. However, difficult to imagine, if qualified, to go to France without Pirlo.
THREE CENTRAL – From the Coverciano training – by the way, one of yesterday afternoon has been canceled, it means that Conte is satisfied – it is now clear that Pirlo is the chosen one for tomorrow night. With De Rossi out with Verratti who is still recovering from nasty blow to the foot and ankle (good response from the race yesterday, but impossible to recover before Malta), with Thiago Motta not 100% … but yes, let’s do this “sacrifice” and let us trust in Pirlo, Conte have thought. In a median of high technique and great competition. On its sides, in fact, will travel miles on miles Florenz and Marchisio, the irreducible midfielder for Juventus and Roma, with the task of alternation in support of Zaza, Building and two outside (for the 3-3-4 so dear to ct in offensive phase.)
Darmian-Candreva – And the exterior? From the experiments of these days there seems to be a run-off to the right between Darmian and Candreva, while on the left the speed of execution and accuracy in assists make you think now is the turn of Pasqual (who did so well in the few minutes of play with the Netherlands and Norway). Given the amount of energy, such as the Count himself has admitted, and the few days between the two games, the turnover on the wing could be total, with the return of De Sciglio more Candreva (or Darmian). And maybe October 13 Verratti could also be recovered. But that’s another story. Meanwhile, in Palermo, where 25 thousand tickets have already been sold, Italy starts from Pirlo.
