Andrea Pirlo citations

Andrea Pirlo, né le 19 mai 1979 à Flero , est un joueur de football international italien évoluant comme milieu de terrain, poste auquel il excelle grâce à son intelligence de jeu, ses passes courtes ou longues millimétrées et sa qualité d'organisateur qui lui valent le surnom « d'architecte » ou de « métronome ».

Il joue actuellement au New York City FC et il est vice-capitaine de l'équipe nationale d'Italie avec laquelle il fut champion du monde en 2006.

Joueur atypique d'apparence nonchalante, Pirlo ne brille pas par sa puissance ou sa vitesse, mais par la qualité de son placement et de ses passes. Il est également expert en coup de pied arrêté.

Ibid [p. 115]

“I thought about quitting after Istanbul because nothing made sense any more…I no longer felt like a man. All of a sudden, football had become the least important thing, precisely because it was the most important: a very painful contradiction. I didn't dare look in the mirror in case my reflection spat back at me. The only possible solution I could think of was to retire.”

Andrea Pirlo

Ibid [p. 147]

“I'm a bit of a wandering gypsy on the pitch. A midfielder constantly on the lookout for an unspoilt corner where I can move freely just for a moment…A space where I can continue to profess my creed: take the ball, give it to a team-mate, team-mate scores. It's called an assist, and it's my way of spreading happiness.”

“I've got a fair few kilometres under my belt, but it's the short distances that wear me out. They're tests of your mental stamina, rather than your speed. For Neil Armstrong, it was walking on the surface of the moon and, in my case, the ultra-green pitch of the Olympiastadion.”
