Andrea Pirlo Article
From the vineyards to the jokes in the locker room. The B side of a formidable messy.Source: SportWeekAndrea Schianchiphoto of Stephen Guindani
The great company, my advice is to be normal
From Lucio sang these words in Years 70 and rely completely on the skin of Andrea Pirlo, as a well cut suit and well stitched. Not in the normal sense of what he does, because the character has accustomed us to when he plays things absolutely out of the ordinary, but what does not. Pirlo is an unusual player, combs his hair the same way he was a child, does not exhibit tattoos, does not frequent the places of the jet-set, speaks softly and usually escapes the stage lights. You say it is not a character. Not really, simply has a different character from the classic cliché of the modern footballer. And this diversity are his strength and his courage.
Yeah, come on. Why is there so much want to leave a team with which in ten years he has won everything, to face a new adventure. Predictable objection: he did it for the money, Milan not provided him the salary he asked for and Juventus yes. It is not the truth: Pirlo is the best director in the world for ten years, has had requests from major European clubs, if he wanted to make money with his talent would have made other choices.
Simply, after all the data (and so received) with the Milan jersey on his shoulders, he understood that the marriage had come to an end. Did not like those husbands (or those wives) betrayed that attach to every detail in order to remain clinging to the story. No, he noted that there was harmony, she did not cry treason, not whether it is taken with the partner and tried to rebuild their lives (career) without ever denying the previous one. A divorce normal, in fact.
Besides, from a Pirlo as we could not expect anything different. If anything is to note the dignity, elegance, and also, when the fans show Milan fans have criticized the company for not having renewed the contract and have thus helped to reinforce a direct competitor for the title. He, Andrea, has never added a word, never raised his voice, or fed the controversy. And tonight, when they will return with his new shirt at San Siro in front of former teammates play for AC Milan for a significant portion of the shield, its elegance (and what has at Milan) will be paid off - we believe - by a long applause.
From Milan to Turin, his life has not changed one iota. House in the center and the first house in the center now. Outside, in the sense of social life, there is very little. Not even for breakfast at the bar. Pirlo does everything in house, a coffee, a croissant and then off to training camp. Always alone in the car. It has no drivers, friends-drivers, drivers-minions.
And then, a few public appearances and many evenings at home with his wife, two sons and agliamici. Maybe watching television, watching an action movie, which he likes, or a comedy of love, as you liked. Pirlo is a lifestyle of privacy. In fact, it's like one of those buildings that show a gray facade and anonymous, but if you are lucky enough to cross the gate will open a world of gardens, courtyards, lighting, colors. Former Italy coach Marcello Lippi has called "a silent leader," his old coach Carlo Ancelotti has never hidden who I am, inside the locker room, is another person: talkative, likeable and even messy.
Along with Gattuso, AC Milan was the one who organized the jokes to friends. And in ten years we have combined! On Kaka, Ronaldinho, the younger and older ... Except that Maldini, because he was a monument, and you could not touch. And now, with Juve, is the same thing: Pirlo is one of the senators of the group, listened to and respected, and that is what he does, organizes, helps, joking, playing and having fun. Then, once you close the door of the locker room, back to its exceptional normal.
We often hear: never laughs, he looks very sad. Bales, simply does not like to show his feelings and emotions. His confidence helped him (and not a little) in the important moments of his career. In Milan, the summer of 2003, when he found the courage to go and offer him Ancelotti to play back as a director instead of playmaker. And even at Juventus, has been shown to have liver because when he chose to move did not yet know who would be the coach and, once hired Antonio Conte, has had a very clear and sharp confrontation in which he explained that some tactical ideas ( For example, 4-2-4) did not like him very much. Pirlo is one who knows how to take its responsibility.
At Milan he found the closest friend, or at least what everyone assumes that: Alessandro Nesta. The room he shared in the withdrawal of Milanello was called "dumb", because neither of them turns out to be a chatterbox. Yet the jokes in there were born the most beautiful and complicated facts the comrades (even Nesta is not as it appears ...), and have played the games more exciting and crazy PlayStation. Then, the two came out of the room, rubbing his eyes as if they had just woken up or had completed two hours of intense reading. With Nesta, of course, the report goes on even if no longer play the same team. As well as continuing with a few friends visited in Milan.
But the strongest bond for Pirlo is the one with the birth family: father, mother, brother and sister. They are in the Brescia and he has entrusted to them part of his business. Do not take personal care of the wine and metallurgical company, we think the father and brother. Andrea checks, he suggests, help from outside. And drink a few glasses of wine it produces. A sip, not more. But even this activity as an entrepreneur has always remained in the shadows, never a word, a statement, an interview. Still on track, always protected by privacy and normalcy that has managed to build around.
At home, the family of origin, we return once a month, more or less: only opportunity you have given a party at Flero, his country, and it was when his countrymen wanted to thank him for Champions League won in 2007 with AC Milan. Embarrassed, took the stage, bowed, and looked imploringly presenter: but when this torture ends?
Of course it's strange that most normal humans (sometimes even more boring) of Italian football is also the most brilliant and most spectacular of the last twenty years! Nobody in the field can do the things he does. Pirlo, some argue that if the Brazilian would have won at least two or three balls of gold: crazy game viewing, launch and pinpoint accuracy in passing, powerful shot, undisputed charisma, personality that makes him seem at least a notch above their opponents . Yet, when all is finished and the lights go out, this guy back in the shell, because only there you feel protected and safe. It's normal that he won, indeed "a great achievement."

Andrea Pirlo and gufata the holy spoon
The Irish bookmaker Andrea Pirlo continues to gufare in favor of Italy and Italy win. Another gufata of the square there was today, June 28, 2012 in Rome. Today in Piazza del Popolo members of the National Team Owl Paddy Power have marched in an original carrying on his shoulders the patron saint Sant Andrea Pirlo with a spoon. Andrea Pirlo with its technical gesture, trimmed the spoon to the England goalkeeper on the penalty kick that gave a boon to our nation has awakened the minds of many people who have already in a very short "sanctified". The square was gremitissima and gufata against Germany was really effective. Now touch it again to defend Spain from gufata final.

+ + Italy - Ventura and Pirlo + +
World's fresh blood, the top in the top, have been playing with national team of all ages ,
Ventura and Pirlo ,in private life were roommate which spent three months living together .
Ventola's thoughts was clear as he speak, at first glance. In contrast, Andrea Pirlo, looked nothing of interest no matter what he heard. Although the character is totally different, but the tacit agreement of the two is seamless. (Just ignore the part of the hammer?: P) We go on the shoulder in the next AZZURRI young people to talk about them from the football concept to the type of girl they like, everything about them.
01 Joy and sorrrow
Ventola : November 2, 1997, a knee injury, the injury is very serious, for seven months I had to leave the stadium at that time I even think about my football life ended. Fortunately, I revert to the state where i can play, really lucky. (injured again in 2002 ...)
Pirlo : You come back, scored a goal in the first game, right?
Ventola: right. Before experienced so painful period of time, so the goal is indeed very pleased, if we say so far most I am pleased to recall, is probably the goal. Andre do you?
Pirlo: probably the goal of Brescia promotion to the Seria A (1998 season). The last game in the league (Serie b) to determine the cut, and that game is my goal. I went to the auditorium next to the fans to share all the joy. Was the greatest moment.
Ventola: painful memories?
Pirlo: As a football player talking about painful things is not been given the opportunity to play!
02 Desire
Ventola: In fact, my father's physical condition is very bad, so my father can beat the disease back to health is my greatest wish.
Pirlo: I hope your dad can get better soon.
Ventola: Thank you. What's Andre's desire?
Pirlo: My wish is very simple, to live in peace with the family, sister to be happy. Then, if with girlfriend all goes well, better yet (laughs). (Smooth though, when the girlfriend is now his wife.)
03 Advantages and disadvantages
Pirlo: Nicola advantages is physical ability.
Ventola: ah. The strength and speed is my selling point. Also, I headed quite confident! The drawback is that technology, if no further hone their skills, can not survive in a world-class standards.
Pirlo: I am confident of technology. I want my dish the ball better than others.
Ventola: the disadvantages?
Pirlo: There's a lot of shortcomings , such as not involved in defense, and so on. In modern football it will become a fatal flaw, not slowly learn a little is not enough. (Defensive now still is his shortcomings ...)
04 Vision
Ventola: I have a vision of Rudy ‧ Voller, to play in Rome, I was his super fans. When i was a child I was a Roma fans! (Rudy ‧ Voller, the German national team to teach.)
Pirlo: You are not the Barry home fans ?
Ventola: Of course I also support Barry! But still looking forward to a strong team, right? Andrea you talk about it, who is your idol?
Pirlo: Robbie (Baggio, the confession of love as usual: p) is the idol of Italy, so doesn't matter (laughs). But this season for me really is a very special season, because people can now look forward to playing together. Robbie will not be specific to teach me to do this and that, as long as they watched him play, we can learn a lot.
05 Dream
Pirlo: The dream is to get all the trophies. To get the league title, Champions League, World Cup you want to win.
Ventola: You're so greedy (laughs).
Pirlo: All football players will think like that.
Ventola: too. That this is the case, I would like to add an Olympic champion. (Failed: p)
Pirlo: Yes. But first win in the qualifiers because I want starred in the Sydney Olympics.
Ventola: in any case I want to go to the Olympic. Saw on television the past it has a unique atmosphere, I want to try for themselves the kind of feeling. 06 overseas and transfer
Ventola: If you can, I would like to stayed on to Italy to play, however, had to go overseas development, then I would choose Spain.
Pirlo: Because the sun with beach?
Ventola: Hey, Barry, also have the sun with the beach! Only this is not the reason to do so! That Andre you decide?
Pirlo: I probably will go to Spain!
Ventola: What? Not the same!
Pirlo: Spain's style of football is not the same with Italy, right? Italian football always physical and physical collision of the game, at this point, I feel the football in Spain there are left some let the fantasista (generally translated into the midfield magician, that is, manipulation of the full capacity of the midfield) play space, so I would think that Spain is pretty good.
07 Likes and dislikes
Ventola: I like cooking PASTA AL PESTO (Genoa wind pasta), very nice to eat!
Pirlo: I also pasta. One of my favorite Pasta AI QUATTRO FORMAGGIO (combine of four cheese Omo), because I hardly eat anything, not particularly annoying ... ah, only not ARTICHOKE! (Artichokes. A very common ingredients, with the unpalatable taste can not understand! Do not iron teeth trying! Its unpalatable extreme lingering residual mouth after eating the terrible taste.)
Ventola: Me too! ARTICHOKE is not something to eat! !
08 Interest
Ventola: My interest is the computer. But am busy with soccer, there is no focus on the interest at the time. Same when in high school, can't study properly. I want to register for University of correspondence courses, a good education. (studied, but did not graduate.)
Pirlo: So great
Ventola: Nope. What is your favourite?
Pirlo: Mine was shopping and tennis. I played tennis quite well!
09 Leave
Pirlo: I spent the holiday on the beach sunbathing, as well as to the DISCO ...
Ventola: DISCO? Milan ?
Pirlo: Milan is the place where I work, i go when i go back to Brescia.What about you?
Ventola: Half of the holidays with family spent the rest of the half went to travel. Like Sardinia is very good !
10 Favorite songs
Pirlo: I like the song of the Italian or foreign. Now like LIGABUE with VASCO's ROSSI. Japan's music? Never heard of it. Chinese songs i heard before ......
Ventola: I, too, listen to everything as long as the music i like.
Pirlo: like what kind of song?
Ventola: not so much like , might as well say the mood to choose the songs. Like during sad time,it's possible to listen to some lively songs to transform the mood.
11 Type of girl they like (Skip it anyway, married, in short, two people are married to their favorite type of girl.)
12 Analysis each other's character
Ventola: Like Andre it's strange that your outer appearance is different from your inside? He gives people the feeling that seems quite, cautious calm and shy youth, right? However, the intrinsic is exactly the opposite! Very stubborn, unexpecatble, but also self-willed! Can see that in football such a character, he played great when high mood, but when bad mood...
Pirlo: a gross exaggeration? It is nonsense. Obviously things always get exaggerated when things are not like that .
Ventola: I did not made a very bold claim! I am just being normal ok? Go to this guy's apartment, I was scared too! The kitchens have a bunch of leftovers, in the room the clothes are all over.
Pirlo: Do not be so talkative! (Note: In earlier interview from this article, Pirlo claim Ventola is unorganize when they stay together. So the messiness of the two should be the same :p)
13 Weakness
Ventola: I hate plane.
Pirlo: Football players have to travel often, you can't avoid that right?
Ventola: I know .... but still very scary.
Pirlo: So, the previous away games before flight you seem pray everytime?
Ventola: Because it's terrible ! You are afraid of something, right?
Pirlo: death ! (Laughs)
Ventola: What an answer ! You are just pretend to be cool!
14 Want
Pirlo: play (laughs).
Ventola: This is not funny.
Pirlo: Because of many foreign players at Inter so it's expected our appearances will be very limited, but I still hope they can let us play.
Ventola: it is not all bad to give to foreigners, even if the position was taken away by top players, it's understandable. Even Italian players and foreign players of similar ability, the coach will let foreign players on pitch . This kind of thing is really unacceptable. Italian league, I think should have more Italians to play.
Pirlo: We are very young players, being able to play the game play is very important, this is a very practical problem.
Ventola: Vieri play football eight years in the eight teams , but he always had a chance to play, Vieri will be able to play the game to gain experience, hone the skills, the result he became a big star. We also want to be like him to have a place to accumulated the experience. All in all, I want to play.
15 Japan's youth team
Pirlo: World Youth Championship held in Nigeria, I saw in the TV. Japan is a very good team, I'm a little surprised!
Ventola: 2002 Japan will host the World Cup, so the standard of football in Japan will be more progressive?
Pirlo: We can not lose! In order to go to Japan in 2002, we have to refuel.
Ventola: First, to obtain position in their respective ranks.
Pirlo: In addition to efforts to exercise coach recognition of our ability, there's no other way.
