The American team has its champion: “I hope to debut soon, I want to do well and win with this shirt”
ROME – “ I know New York as a tourist. Now I’m happy to be able to work and to play for this team. Spedo to debut soon . ” Andrea Pirlo is officially presented to the press as a new player of FC New York. Former Juventus gives a few smiles, but the determination is so great, as the will to confront a new world like that of the MLS: “ I’ve played with so many great players and I’ve learned over the years that the important thing is always the team. The group comes before the individual. I will put at the disposal of the coach and teammates to achieve the best results. I want to start this new experience. The first day went well, now I just have to find the best condition to play. I want this adventure will turn into something major. When I take to the field? When I feel better, I could play on Sunday, we will see. During the holidays I trained , “said Pirlo.
” My engagement? The money for me were never a purpose or a mission of life. If one goes into the field and proves that you can play, it is right to be paid. For me football is one thing, money is another. I am fortunate to not have to play for money but for the love of the ball . Ambiance? I know that here is a large Italian community, I hope I do feel their support at the stadium . I’m not the type to cover. I did not come to America to do the publicity or the model but to play football. I’m a footballer and then if my presence will help the MLS to grow, this will certainly be positive. What do I think of our journey in the league? We ‘a path still long, we must now look ahead and reach the playoffs and with the daily work we will succeed. Let us remember that this is a team that has changed a lot. If a player is old? Surely I can not go back in time but certainly I do not feel old and I still want to play. And then there are players here not so much younger than me . Before making the decision to come here I spoke with the coach Conte and he has endorsed. I also invited you here on vacation to watch the games. We are on good terms and I am at his disposal. He will decide whether or not to summon me, will depend on how I play. The MLS is a growing movement, very physical with a lot of players who come from South America. I am convinced that will grow again. passion? It ‘still intact, especially when it comes to starting a new adventure. I could have stayed in Italy to play for a short while but that was not my wish. I want to stay here and make myself in this league. If I will be an ambassador of the MLS? I now think just playing. If I disposed of bitterness for the Champions lost with Juve? Unfortunately when you play and you lose certain matches we remain disappointed for a while ‘. The biggest professional disappointment remains to Istanbul with Milan. The defeat against Juventus left me so much bitterness because I knew it would be my last chance to win a Champions , “concluded Pirlo.
